It’s true. You will serve someone or something. It’s amusing how some of us look to avoid that truth. After all if we’re the captain of our own destiny and we’re in charge of what will happen to us, how can this be subject to someone we give allegiance to, something we dedicate our lives […]
Read More Kingdom Commitment – Day Two: No One But The KingThe messaging is sometimes subtle and sometimes not so much. The messaging essentially says, when it comes to the crunch in making decisions, you’re better off just suiting yourself. What should you do with any money you earn? Sure meet the pressing obligations, but beyond that – suit yourself. What should you do with any […]
Read More Who Rules? When ‘Suit Yourself’ Is Not The Best AnswerThe issues appear to pile up. The bills mount, the debts increase, the arguments multiply as do the headaches. You could do with a break. Even on holidays the time away from work only shows that there’s a need to work to pay off what it took to get to this holiday never mind what […]
