The Dark Side of Spiritual Abuse - Part 4
Leadership seems to be the buzzword of our times. Bookstores now have multiple rows upon rows of books concerning this particular subject. Some of the content is very good and can help a person to hone their management skills and work toward becoming self-disciplined in a manner that will prove good for the organization that they are serving. I personally have benefited from some of the secular leadership books that I have read over the years. Despite all of these necessary and good resources only a small, in fact, microscopic amount of these books address spiritual issues in the life of the leader. There aren’t any spiritual leadership concepts given in the books that Jim Collins has written. Patrick Lencioni does not address the spiritual side of a man who wants to build a Fortune 500 company. Peter Drucker’s works have almost elevated him posthumously to an exalted messiah among the leadership gurus of the last century. If we are not careful, there can be a tendency to think that we can build a church the same way that Steve Jobs made Apple successful. Once a spiritual leader buys into that particular idea that he can build a spiritual church with the same techniques that a profit-driven company is built, he deceives himself and he will create spiritual mayhem with the sheep he is meant to feed. for full newsletter article... |

Pull The Plug on Porn If you or someone you love is struggling with a porn addiction, take these steps to freedom. At a men´s conference I sponsored last weekend in Philadelphia, some of my friends took the stage and got gut-level honest about their temptations. I was so proud of their courage. Shay, a young father from Ohio, admitted that he was exposed to hard-core pornography when he was only five years old. He began modeling what he saw in X-rated videos when he was just six. Another guy from Pennsylvania told the men in the audience that he began watching porn when he was a preteen-and this led him to sex with dozens of girls in high school. Until recently this man still battled the shame of his porn habit even though he was a lay leader in his church. for full story.... |

More Great Quotes "Every step you take is treading on chords that will vibrate into all eternity. Every move you make touches keys whose sound will re-echo all over the hills and dales of heaven - and through all the dark caverns and vaults of hell. With every movement of your lives, you are exerting a tremendous influence that will tell on the immortal interests of souls all around you." - Charles Finney "The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the extension of Christ's Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularized or self- centered Church can never evangelize the world." - John R. Mott for more great quotes.... |
Bread From Heaven Newsletter Over a period of time a persons heart can become hardened to where evil does not seem that bad and good is sort of what everyone wants to call it. The article below is shocking if you read it with an open mind and think about what it is saying. Auschwitz and Planned Parenthood (The American Death Camps) - Patriot Update
An estimated 10 million people, Jews, homosexuals, Polish intellectuals, Gypsies, and others died in Nazi death camps such as Auschwitz. The cruelties these victims suffered are almost beyond belief. We recoil at the thought and many people today cannot even watch a movie or documentary about this horrific time in history. But, we cannot forget. Or, have we? There are currently about 750 death camps spread across America. They are called abortion clinics. According to AFA Journal (Jan. 2011), Planned Parenthood alone accounted for 324,000 abortions in 2008 fiscal year. They also gladly accepted $349.6 million of your tax dollars to carry out their deadly mission. for full newsletter article... |
America Unplugged – The New Lord’s Prayer Those who can hardly stand the syntax and rhythmic schemes of the English usage in our Constitution will not find any magnificence or beauty in the Elizabethan phrases of the Bible's King James Version. Not to worry – other versions are readily available to elucidate and amplify; there is hope for those whose cognizance has been slighted. |
