Min or Max
There are two ways to approach life: (1) Minimum amount to make it through – we’ll call them “Min” or (2) Above and beyond expectations – we’ll call them “Max”. It’s not hard to see that most of the world falls into the first group of mins. The world probably appears quite overwhelming, bland, or [...]
Inches and Miles
Regardless of how you approach life, you will find your way to a poor decision more than once. Some of those momentary lapses can take you to places you never inteded to travel. Your response during these seemingly random chaotic events are the ones that define you. Too often we only give God an inch [...]
Confidence
Have you ever felt as if God left the room? In the midst of your challenge and at the peak of your prayer… the only thing you hear is the trailing echo of your last “amen”. It’s those moments that you just want to look up to heaven and yell out… GOD! Where are you?!? [...]
Complaint
Have you noticed how many conversations are built around complaining? I guess it’s true that misery loves company. Why? I catch myself initiating some of those gripe sessions… and I don’t like it. So where is the joy of being in the company of critics? I certainly don’t care to be around myself when I’m [...]
Important
Everything seems to be important these days. Emails come flying in with big red exclamation points on them as if it has a bearing on the outcome of my life if I don’t read it. The telephone rings and like Pavlov’s dog… I am conditioned to answer it… it must be important… right? The schedules [...]
It’s Understandable
Faith is an amazing component of life. As children, we believe our parents will provide for our needs and we don’t question where the food comes from. As teenagers we outrun our abilities and believe we can actually provide for ourselves… and starve when we figure out that food is hard to come by. As [...]
Anew
Prayer changes things. That fact doesn’t fail. Live Bold has spent months rethinking the focus and intent of our ministry. While I rebuild the magazine I thought you might find interest in short spiritual guidance, insight, and words of encouragement. If you subscribe to the feed (meaning you receive these through your email) you might [...]
Casting Vision
Casting vision, is perhaps the most grueling, taxing, heavy, and numbing process known to the human race. The old saying tells us not to fix stuff that isn’t broken, but that isn’t accurate at all. I for one am grateful for the brilliant person that grew tired of cutting down trees with a sharp rock. [...]
Live Bold Facing Forward
I often vision God’s power as a mighty waterfall that is surging with power and never ending supply. How in the world is it then, that we miss that in our lives? I think we sometimes get too full of ourselves and forget that God is… GOD. We take our efforts into our own [...]
Seasons
How do you feel about change? Most of us view change as a great idea, but when faced with the finality of moving on to another season of life it can be annoying if not terrifying. Presidential elections are loaded with slogans and chants about change. Businesses that fail to change are often bankrupt [...]
