The Leadership Secrets Of Billy Graham

When you hear the name Billy Graham, do you think first of his leadership? Most of us do not. We recall his preaching to vast crowds in stadiums. We see the gracious television guest, appearing with hosts from Johnny Carson and David Frost to Larry King and Barbara Walters—always responding with gentle wisdom, explaining the gospel, but humbly admitting his own limitations. We remember his leading the nation in dramatic times of grief, or helping inaugurate presidents, but more as national pastor than leader.

Me Before You

When he emerges from the bathroom she is awake, propped up against the pillows and flicking through the travel brochures that were beside his bed. She is wearing one of his T-shirts, and her long hair is tousled in a way that prompts reflexive thoughts of the previous night. He stands there, enjoying the brief flashback, rubbing the water from his hair with a towel. She looks up from a brochure and pouts. She is probably slightly too old to pout, but they’ve been going out a short enough time for it still to be cute. ‘Do we really have to do something that involves trekking up mountains, or hanging over ravines? It’s our first proper holiday together, and there is literally not one single trip in these that doesn’t involve either throwing yourself off something or –’ she pretends to shudder ‘– wearing fleece.’ She throws them down on the bed, stretches her caramel-coloured arms above her head. Her voice is husky, testament to their missed hours of sleep. ‘How about a luxury spa in Bali...

Finally Lust Free

‘The enemy is only as strong as you allow him in your life.’-H Phamodi. Open doors are a legal ground for the enemy to operate in your life. Sexual sins that are present in a life of a born again Christian is due to some negligence and ignorance that the enemy takes advantage of. I was counselling a young man who was struggling with pornography and women, and to my surplice these young men will be free for a few weeks, but soon fall back into the same sin again. I didn’t understand why, until God revealed to me that there is an open door, remember what the scriptures says about an unclean spirit in Matthew 12:43-45; the spirit that has gone out of a man goes about dry places seeking rest, but find none. Then the sprit says; ‘I will return into my house from where I came out.’ And when he has come he finds it empty and clean and garnished, then he goes and take for himself seven other sprits that are more wicket that him, and the state of that man is worse than before. The enemy looks f...

Redeeming Love

“Just a few minutes,” Mama said quickly. Too quickly. Was she afraid? But why? “That’s all I’m asking, Alex. Please. It would mean so much to her.” Alex Stafford stared down at Sarah. His mouth was pressed tight, and he studied her silently. Sarah stood as still as she could. She’d stared at herself in the mirror so long this morning, she knew what he would see. She had her father’s chin and nose, and her mother’s blonde hair and fair skin. Her eyes were like her mother’s, too, although they were even more blue. Sarah wanted Papa to think she was pretty, and she gazed up at him hopefully. But the look in his eyes was not a nice one. “Did you pick blue on purpose, Mae?” Papa’s words startled Sarah. They were cold and angry. “Because it brings out the color of her eyes?” Sarah couldn’t help it, she glanced at her mother—and her heart fell. Mama’s face was filled with hurt.

Experiencing Jesus

From the moment we are conceived, we have a built-in desire to run the world around us so that it benefits us and serves us completely. Let’s face it: We are all born with a self-centered, me-first identity. We emerge from the womb a cry baby, our sole purpose being to see that every whim, desire, and need is fulfilled by those who have obviously been placed in our lives to accomplish this. In our eyes, the world revolves around us. The description I have just given is the essence of the sin nature. There is not one sin we can name that cannot be labeled selfish and self-centered. Furthermore, the original sin is addressed in the first commandment, which contains the antidote to the sin nature: Click Here To Download The Book

The Act Of Marriage

The act of marriage is that beautiful and intimate relationship shared uniquely by a husband and wife in the privacy of their love—and it is sacred. In a real sense, God designed them for that relationship. Proof that it is a sacred experience appears in God’s first commandment to humankind: “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” (Gen. 1:28). That charge was given before sin entered the world; therefore lovemaking and procreation were ordained and enjoyed while the man and the woman continued in their original state of innocence. This necessarily includes the strong and beautiful mating urge a husband and wife feel for each other. Doubtless Adam and Eve felt that urge in the Garden of Eden, just as God intended, and although we lack any written report for proof, it is reasonable to conclude that Adam and Eve made love before sin entered the garden (see Gen. 2:25). The idea that God designed our sex organs for our enjoyment comes almost as a surprise to some ...

Created To Be His Help Meet

Once upon a time there was a silly young girl who grew up to learn what itmeans to be a help meet—God’s secret for a heavenly marriage. I start this book with the words “Once upon a time” because it really is a wonderful story come true. It should, and could, be your story too. It is God’s gift to every woman. My “wife” story began 34 years ago with the ringing of the phone. I was sitting at the desk where I worked, when my pastor called, asking me to go with him to a gospel meeting that evening. He occasionally called on me to go with him to counsel the girls while he dealt with the men. I was a single, twenty-year-old girl, and my pastor was a single, twenty-five-year-old hunk of a man. Of course, I said I would love to go and help. He had been my goal since I was 13 years old. Although I thought that he occasionally cast his eyes at me, I had despaired of ever getting my trophy. With that simple phone call, my despair turned to hope once again. Click Here To Download The Book

Sales Coaching

Organizations today must adjust to change with more speed and insight than ever before. As a sales manager, you are on the front line of that change. You are close to external and internal customers. You make the inside-outside connection. You are in the field near customers. You are on the inside track. You are the link between executive management and the sales force. Your sales coaching is the lifeline for your sales team. Sales coaching is a process, but more than that, it is a way of life. It is visceral—a gut-level feeling that helps determine how you work with your salespeople and how your managers work with you. It is a commitment among professionals to support one another so that they can be the best they can be. How much sales coaching do you provide? Richardson research with more than 1,000 managers and 4,500 salespeople showed that many sales managers are simply not coaching to the level that they could be or that is needed. In our study, sales managers were rated as coache...

Dealing With Sex, Lust, Love And Sexual Sins

Lust has destroyed many lives in its various forms; some have clung on to power and have been disgraced through the lust of power and fame. Others have plunged their countries into civil war because of the same problem. Others have been whipped and are being whipped with preventable diseases through the lust for food. The lust for money has also led others into all kinds of atrocities. Many have achieved the heights that they dreamed of, only to be scandalized with sexual sin, like King David and Bathsheba, former President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Samson and Delilah etc. Many families are broken up and undermined due to this temptation. Worst of all sexual lust has put our generation at risk. The continent of Africa for example has been scorched with the devastating spread of HIV/AIDS as a result of sexual sin. In some countries a whole generation of youth is being wiped out. Click Here To Download The Book

A Bend In The Road

Are you in money difficulties? Is it hard to make both ends meet? This thing is from Me, for I am your purse-bearer, and would have you draw from and depend upon Me. My supplies are limitless (Philippians 4:19). I would have you prove My promises. Let it not be said of you, “you did not believe the LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 1:32). Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, who never consult your taste, who put you in the background? This thing is from Me. I am the God of circumstances. You came not to this place by accident; it is the very place God meant for you. Have you not asked to be made humble? See, then, I have placed you in the very school where this lesson is taught; your surroundings and companions are only working out My will. Are you passing through a night of sorrow? This thing is from Me. I am the “Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” I have let earthly comforters fail you, that, by turning to Me, you may obtain everlasti...
