One of the most loving things that you can do for your family is simply to sit down, at the same time, in the same place, and eat together.

I don't know about other denominations... but in Adventism there's a quickly approaching implosion when the tithe base ends up passing on (I'm guessing 15 years or so?) The need for pastors to have skills to leverage in the marketplace has never been more important

Today's one of those days that I'm reminded of the importance of saying no...
The last few years have been really solidifying the need to say no to things that fall out of my unique calling/ assignment...
Unfortunately, I said yes to something that was close (but not quite on target) and I'm regretting it
The cost of of not saying no when I should have is at least a dozen hour investment into something that isn't central to what God has given me to do...
3 terrible questions to ask when trying to discover your calling:
1. What career will help me earn respect & adoration
2. What career will help me earn the most money in the shortest time?
3. Which career will give me the most freedom/ flexibility?
The highest calling is not being a pastor but becoming all God called you to be, namely a person who glorifies God in all you do
Years ago I was asked to preach for Father's day...
... not only was I the product of a "broken family," I was also single & childless
I challenged the assumption that every child in the church was called to be a doctor (for context, this was a largely asian church iykyk)
"What if the plan you have sketched out for your child ISN'T the path God has for them?"
If God calls you to be a missionary, don’t stoop to becoming King
also...
If God calls you to be an entrepreneur, don't stoop to becoming a pastor
The first thing that the Bible tells us about God is that He creates...
God tasks Adam & Eve to create BEFORE declaring what He had done, "very good..."
The first person in Scripture to have been recorded as receiving the Spirit of God was Bezalel, the man who was tasked with creating the Tabernacle
Most of Jesus' adult life was spent working as a carpenter... not a preacher
