I would like to know how I can get God’s help in being successful in reaching top position in the area of finance when the competition is so high and there are people who are smarter than me and I have been encountering so many defeats and humiliation while I am working towards my goal....
It is so easy to become impatient when a toddler, colleague, client, customer, or patient go on and on when telling us a story. In turn, when we are the ones relaying information, we get frustrated when our listeners tune us out. Too often, instead of our employees, boss, spouse, children or students paying attention,...
Sometimes, phrases get repeated often enough that they become widely accepted. This doesn’t mean that they are true. I’m not talking about deliberate untruths as in Nazi Joseph Goebbels’ statement, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” I am talking about words we think...

I would really appreciate an honest, biblical answer. Thank you. Joanne Dear Joanne, Of course this is a serious question but we understand why you...
I wasted six irrecoverable minutes last Thursday. I was in a hotel room watching a member of the U.S. House of Representatives on television justify his failures, and those of his colleagues, by pointing a finger of disdain at a large part of the American population.

By all accounts, Oprah Winfrey gave an impressive speech at the Golden Globes. It has been a heavy work week for me and I haven’t managed to listen to it myself, but since she is an articulate and personable woman who has made a career out of connecting with millions of people (largely female), her...
You teach the importance of taking the laws as a whole. But verses like Deuteronomy 22:21pronounce you must stone a woman to death in the door of her father’s house. If you cannot pick and choose what to follow, and you cannot say that it isn’t to be taken literally, what must I say about...
