  • 19. Conflict Management

    Once upon a time a man was shipwrecked on a deserted island. He was an industrious, hard-working sort of man, so by the time he was rescued, 15 years later, he had managed to transform the island into a collection of roads and buildings. The people who rescued him were amazed at his accomplishments and asked for a tour of the island. He was more than happy to oblige.

    “The first building on our left,” he began, “is my house.

  • 2. Commitment

    A chicken and a pig were walking down the road together. They passed a sign for a local diner advertising its breakfast special: “Ham and Eggs – $2.95!” The chicken said, “That’s our whole contribution to society: breakfast food!” The pig replied, “For you, it may be a contribution. For me it’s a total commitment.”

  • 16. Change and Innovation

    A cartoon I saw in The New Yorker showed a CEO winding up his speech at a board meeting with the following sentence: “And so, while the end-of-the-world scenario will be rife with unimaginable horrors, we believe that the pre-end period will be filled with unprecedented opportunities for profit.”1 Somehow that seems to capture the spirit of our times.

    Many of us live with the same perspective as King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:19.

  • 40. Healthy Alliances

    A boy valiantly, but unsuccessfully, attempted to move a heavy log to clear a pathway to his favorite hideout. His dad stood quietly nearby, watching his son straining against the load. Finally he said, “Son, why aren’t you using all of your strength?”

    Confused and a little angry, the boy responded, “Dad, I’m using every last little bit of strength I have!”

    “No, son; you’re not,” his dad quietly responded.

  • 8. The Rewards of the life

    Abstract

    “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ and to make them little Christs. If they are not doing all that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the bible itself, are simply a waste of time.” 

    C. S.
