Profound Posts



Here are a few of the blog posts that I came across in the past week or so that I found particularly profound...

GUEST POST: Humanitarian Jesus by Christian Buckley.
Excerpt: "The call to cause is real and it is not going anywhere, but the call to Christ is eternal and it has never been more important. And one more thing, the greatest part of the call to cause is that the brokenness those causes represent are part of Christ’s call to Himself."
Excerpt: "Companies with a clear sense of Why set the tone and direction in their respective industries. They lead and others look to follow them. Suffering severe product blindness, however, these days Starbucks is looking for others to follow."
Excerpt: "In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. And that gratefulness quickly leads to a satisfied, simplified life."
Excerpt: "But now I want to share with you how Kids In Need has marked me deeply enough to make me LIVE differently."
Excerpt: "Here are some ways to “hang-on” in seasons where you feel like it’s all you can do just to ‘hang-on’:"
Excerpt: "I once asked a group of fifteen pastors if they would attend the churches they were leading if they were not on staff…Only two raised their hands."
Excerpt: "My church is great. It really is. The people are wonderful. The music is passionate. The growth is exciting. The vision is contagious. It’s a hot place to be each weekend. But it’s not better than your church. It can’t be. I won’t let it be. Your church is great, too. And it’s when we are together – and only when we are together - that we are all truly at our best."
