    One of the things I hear a lot in the business world is that if you want to be successful, you need to hang around successful people. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the concept of the ‘Mastermind Group’, but I’ve been encouraged repeatedly, over recent years, to join one. The concept of the ...read more

    Should we have to pay to use music which was written as a worship song to the Lord? I guess I could equally ask should Pastors be paid money to preach and minister in their Church or should they do that free of charge, as unto the Lord?

    I have to admit I felt annoyed at what I thought was his ignorance and arrogance when he spoke about the Church we attend. I feel that way when any Bible based Church is denigrated or dismissed.
