    Accepting Praise

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 27, 2021
     | 1,375 views

    Sometimes it is easier to accept the negative than the compliment.

    When you have lived a long time in a negative environment one of the most difficult things, after you are removed from it, is to accept praise. Often you mistrust it because when people praised you in the past they usually wanted something from you so you doubt the sincerity of the current praise. ...read more

    In the Bible, God tells us that WE have ‘role models’ too. In 2 Thessalonians 3:9 Paul says that he & his friends made an effort to be “models for you to follow.” And Paul repeated that idea many times for those early Christians:

    You do not know what you are asking for and it isn't pretty.

    When they started giving out stress cards to recruits in boot camp, I was a bit surprised. If I had gone to submit one of those cards to my TI he would have said, "Son, you're feeling stressed? I don't think you know what stress is." and would have made my life very stressful ...read more

    Christian leadership is different from other forms of leadership because it is focused on God's longer term goal over the immediate task at hand.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    Jesus was clear in his teachings that the devil has a kingdom, but that the kingdom of God is greater in power. But it’s our responsibility to access that power.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 65 views

    Farewell until we meet again. Today we think about the closing remarks in Peter’s first letter as we open up the final three verses. The end of a letter usually states the last important thoughts of the writer he wishes to convey to the readers. We look at that. May God bless us all.

    Is the "spiritually superior" attitude that the Corinthians had similar to the attitude found in the American church today?

    The Corinthians’ Situation: 1. The Problem: They were living proudly in their spiritual superiority. - vv. 8-13. - Paul points out their pride in their superiority and their position, all of it (from their perspective) a sign of the hand of God. In reality, though, they were far from where God ...read more

    Paul here explains what it meant that he was a spiritual father to the Cornithians and therein gives us insight into how we can impact others.

    The Heart Of The Passage: “Paul is a spiritual father to the Corinthians.” - v. 15. - There are two ways to become a spiritual father. One is to be part of birthing someone to new life. The second is to raise a spiritual child into a spiritual adult (an adoption type of situation). - In both ...read more

    There’s an old Indian Fable I heard recently. A water bearer had two large water pots which he carried on either end of a pole slung across his shoulders.
