The most famous book ever inspired or written begins by explaining how everything that was, and is, and is to come began with a word. God spoke. It was the word of God and it was spoken into all of creation. (Genesis 1:3-30)Words have power, words have meaning. In James 3:6 it says, "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the

Leaders commonly misunderstand, misinterpret and/or misuse fifteen leadership principles. Any one of these can contribute to creating a destructive, unhappy or adversarial workplace environment which ultimately dictates results and outcomes. Most great leaders can identify with one or two items mentioned here. How do you measure up?“Winning is everything” – The most common behavioral challenge

Relevant, Progressive, Forward-Thinking, and Evolutionary are just a few words that I've seen lately that describe the Christian church. I heard a well pointed sermon recently from Pastor, Tommy Green (First Baptist of Brandon, Florida). He was speaking at a partner church (Tampa Baptist) about the "Future Church." It was refreshing to hear a sermon that squarely hit the nail on the head without

I'm a fan of linguistics, language, and tonality and the incredible effects they have on our behavior. Not only the behavior of others but also of ourselves. Recently while conducting some research I was reminded of how often we communicate with words that send the wrong message. Not literally or logically but on a subconscious level because of something very real called Internal

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Design Human Engineering and Neuro-Associative Conditioning have been around for some time and they have proven to be quite effective. At the least, Tony Robbins , John Grinder and Richard Bandler have made a handsome fortune by teaching the "science" and/or Psychology behind this "breakthrough" in communication and interpersonal skills. They discuss in some detail

While we experience an all out assault on individual and corporate freedom in America, I find the parallel with what's happening in Iran to be equally alarming. Here in the states it is becoming increasingly more difficult to discuss our beliefs openly for fear of being accused of proselytizing others. If you don't believe me, ask a Christian teenager in high school that wants to start a Bible

It wasn't long ago when President William Jefferson Clinton lied to the entire world as he sought the answer to the question of the meaning of the word, "is." In fact, when being questioned regarding his affair with Monica Lewinsky, President Clinton was asked whether or not he had sexual relations with her. His response was, "... that depends on what your definition of 'is,' is." Was he just "
