Given the amazing level of technology available to modern man, leaders should be producing more coorespondence and written revelation. The opportunity to function in this way could hardly be avoided without conscious substitution of other priorities or a failure to recognize this discipline as a priority of leaders. Leaders should be writing. Here’s my thinking: […]

Being separated to is better than being separated from. Covenant will always involve a separation to that redefines our relationship with everything else. Our new agreement with God will alter every other existing agreement. God is holy, and what He agrees with us will make something, including us, holy. Jesus says, “From the beginning of Creation” […]

“Not what you think,” might be the first answer to this question. What you see now or see as dominant now might not be what dominates the kingdom landscape in next seven years. What we celebrate most, the most visible, or what appears to be the latest trend might not be the best predictor of […]

Wealth of the Wicked Stored Up Isaiah pictures what is available in the atmosphere as rain in ways that help us understand how God changes the conditions to release.

Some are a bit perplexed because their sense of “living by faith” doesn’t include long range goals or […]

If you don’t know where God wants you in seven years, you may be having a difficult time knowing what to do right now. Clarity of purpose is fundamental to fulfilling calling and destiny. Clarity of purpose will produce passion for purpose and serve as a basis for cutting off distractions and eliminating substitutes. Long […]

“Half time adjustments” made by football and basketball coaches represent an understanding of what the other team has been doing well or taken advantage of and what your team has been failing to take advantage or of failed to defend. The adjustment isn’t a new game plan but a respond to “how we are doing […]

Lynch on Leadership: Leaders make decisions and solve problems. As simple as that sounds, most leadership successes and failures can be analyzed by these fundamentals. For most leaders, these foundation stones are expressed in people and processes so that things get done, goals get fulfilled, and mission gets accomplished. In this same way, these touchstones […]
