The Leader's Character; Leadership is a privilege, not an entitlement

Crawford LorittsThe following are my answers to some questions on leadership I gave to Crawford Loritts for his new book called Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence. The book includes contributions from various Christian leaders, including Bill Bright, D. A. Carson, Clyde Cook, Steve Douglass, Robert Lewis, Bill McCartney, Robertson McQuilken, Gary Rosberg and Joseph Stowell.

A number of my answers are in Crawford's book, some are abridged, but I thought I'd share my full original answers with you here.

Communicating the prolife message, and a 12-year-old shows how it's done (video)

Here's a great video well worth watching that one of you blog readers let me know about.

Lia, 12 years old, prepared and delivered a prolife speech for her 7th grade class.
Following the video I share some thoughts on how to best communicate the prolife message.



Here are some suggestions about sharing the prolife message:

women talking1. Tailor your presentation to your audience so that you’re speaking to them, not to yourself.

Realize the vested interests, denial and rationalization surrounding this issue.

Realize the average person’s saturation and indoctrination with media propa­ganda.

2. Do your homework ...

A Look at the song Amazing Grace

Jackson slave shipIt's black history month, a good time to learn about Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Jackie Robinson and a host of others.

Let me tell you about a white man who made his way into black history. Imagine a slave ship captain, a cruel Englishman who acquired slaves from Africa and transported them in horrific slave ships to be sold like animals at auction.

Imagine that this man later writes lyrics which become the most popular song of English-speaking blacks in the entire world.

Unthinkable?

If you've got eight minutes, watch this powerful video of Wintley Phipps, explaining the ...

Joe Gibbs and the Game Plan for Life

Joe GibbsSome of you prayed a while back for work I was doing for a chapter in a book with Joe Gibbs. Some information about that book has been sent to us, so I wanted to pass it on. What's below in italics is the info, then my comments follow.

What defines true success? How can you live a life of relevance? Do you want to win the most important game of your life? There are many “game plans” around; how is yours working?

As a three-time Super Bowl winning Head Coach of the Washington Redskins, owner of a three-time ...

Lincoln's logic on slavery extends to all human rights

Abraham LincolnHappy birthday to my favorite president, Abraham Lincoln. While he still held to some racist stereotypes, he managed to rise above the worldview of his era and affirm the wrongness of slavery and the rights of all people.

What Lincoln wrote below applies not only to slavery and racism, but to other human rights issues such as sexism and abortion:

You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter, having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a ...

Another "Outside the Box" Prolifer

Gary GrahamA friend recently sent me a link to a strong prolife blog post written by someone I would call an "outside the box" prolifer, in Hollywood. I've often said that one of my favorite prolifers of all time is Nat Hentoff, atheist editor of the Village Voice. Nobody could write him off as a conservative Sunday School teacher. This guy doesn’t fit the image either.

Actor Gary Graham first appeared in a feature film role opposite George C. Scott in "Hardcore." He's been in numerous feature firms as well as many TV movies and series. He had ...

Who we WERE, who we ARE now in Christ

cardboard testimony

 

A blog reader posted a link to this video (thanks), which I found powerful. I think it’s worth every second of its 8 minutes. And it also may be a great idea for your church.

Before you watch, consider these verses from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11:

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what ...
