We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this.(2 Corinthians 4:2)
You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition. So you can see we were not preaching with any deceit or impure motives or trickery. For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.(1 Thessalonians 2:2–4)
God often delivers His best gifts to us in unexpected ways...with surprises inside the wrappings. Through apparent contradictions.
So much of what results in a fulfilled life is really the product of a contradiction. Those who wish to be the best leaders must demonstrate true servanthood.
The wealthy John D. Rockefeller was once asked, “How much does it take to satisfy a man?” With rare wisdom he answered, “A little bit more than he has.”
Dissatisfaction. It creates (if we let it) a restless drive for more...or better...or bigger.
Due to the tragic problem of ignorance and passivity in our world today, I’ve been extolling the benefits of reading.
Reading expands us. It scratches those itches down deep inside. It navigates us through virgin territory we would not otherwise explore.
Everything I have seen belongs to this one galaxy. There are hundreds more beyond our own. Maybe thousands...some much larger than ours.
