GoStrategic

“Hiding in Plain Sight” God knows that “familiarity,” until we understand what that is, is a very damaging thing to most relationships. Being “familiar” with someone or something, in the negative sense, means to take it for granted. Negative familiarity makes us devalue people and things, wherein we lose what is special about them and…

“Offense and Defense” Be Careful What You Pray For.—The Wisdom of God Few things are more grievous than discovering something you’ve worked on for God ended up advancing Satan’s work instead, at least in the short run. The Apostle Paul reminds us that “God causes all things to work together for good” (Romans 8:28), but…

“Strategic Thinking” As disciples of Christ, we believe we are called to think and live strategically. This is because the God we serve lives and works strategically. The closer we are to Him and how He thinks, the more strategic and focused we become. God thinks from the end to the beginning and from the…

“Private Property” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him. —Romans 8:16-17 Private property is certified by God as an…

“Change the Family, Change the World” And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed? For I have chosen him, in order that he may command his…

“The Importance of Multi-Generational Thinking” Generational thinking or momentum begins with the health and vision of the parents’ hearts. Do they love their children enough to train them to succeed in life, or is that too much trouble? If they haven’t been trained by their own parents on how to do so, they need the…

“Freedom in Limits” Since the Garden of Eden, mankind has been dealing with the issue of limits. Adam and Eve believed Satan’s lie that God had established limits on their freedom out of fear for His own position of power and authority. Nothing could have been further from the truth as Christ’s death on the…

“Discovering Our Divine Labor and True Success” Labor is the process through which I reveal my internal reality to the external world. My labor reflects and reveals my character, disciplines, views of excellence, commitment to service, and my active grasp of my God-ordained gifts and passions. I have maintained for decades that “God pays for…

“Sustainable Prosperity” It is my desire to see economic prosperity touch the greatest number of people possible based on values that neither corrupt them nor hinder the same opportunities for others or future generations. Biblical prosperity is both spiritual and material, and any definition of prosperity that addresses one without the other is incomplete. Short-term…

“The Source of Man’s Rights” Freedom is living in obedience to God’s laws. Disobedience brings confusion, unreality, poverty, and imprisonment. While man can take certain freedoms from his fellow man, he cannot make other men free. Freedom is something each man and woman must secure, by God’s help, for himself. Each generation must decide for…

“Untying the Custodian” God’s Word has the answers for all of man’s problems. Jesus didn’t just say that those in the Church should live by every word from God, but that man, meaning every single human being, can only live successfully by God’s word (Matthew 4:4). God’s Word is the door to blessing and liberty. The key…
