Is Everyone Clear About Why Your Business Exists?

Last updated on: November 20, 2017 at 10:49 am   By Bill Blankschaen

As President/CEO of our family’s automotive retail business, I regularly get the privilege of welcoming all new employees into our company.   As part of our orientation and new hire training process, I go over our company history (three generations!) along with a deep dive of our company’s mission, vision, and core values statements.   Unfortunately, many businesses either completely ignore or gloss over the idea of mission, vision, and values statements.  Among those business that have taken the steps to create these statements,... Read more

Make Like Lazarus— A Marriage Read from Mark Youngkin

Last updated on: November 20, 2017 at 10:49 am   By Bill Blankschaen

A failed marriage can leave both parties feeling discouraged, heartbroken, and hopeless.   Many Christians struggle with the idea of divorce and how to overcome it. The thought of disappointing God through the divorce or even the potential of having a failed second marriage can be disheartening.   As a husband and father of six awesome kids, I can’t imagine going through divorce and the negative impact it would have on my family as well as me personally.   I... Read more

Not a Day Care: Why the College Snowflake Melts So Easily

Last updated on: August 10, 2017 at 5:10 am   By Bill Blankschaen

Another day, another college snowflake melts down over chalk on a sidewalk or an unsanctioned opinion being expressed. Why? I had the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Everett Piper on the new book Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth. You may recall his blog post that struck a chord with so many: “This Is a University, This Is Not a Daycare.”  As the President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University,  he offers an insider’s perspective on higher education, doing... Read more

Evangelicals Respond to Rob Bell Attack on Bible and Family

Last updated on: August 4, 2017 at 7:28 am   By Bill Blankschaen

Scripture is no longer relevant for Rob on contemporary social issues, because "it quotes letters from 2,000 years ago" as its best defense. Read more

One Proven Way to Control Technology Overload

Last updated on: July 24, 2017 at 4:08 am   By Bill Blankschaen

Scripture admonishes us to “think on these things,” to “meditate day and night” on truth, and to “study to show ourselves approved unto God.” And yet, the very technology that made it easier than ever to do so, can also make it harder than ever to do so—if we don’t control technology overload. Our easy access to information and connection creates an “always on” lifestyle that leaves little time for introspection, meditation, and the sort of intentional thinking required for... Read more

Is Shame the New Silent Killer in America?

Last updated on: August 4, 2017 at 9:45 am   By Bill Blankschaen

We post our cute little signs and slogans as if heaven rejoices because we thought of a more clever way to say choose Jesus right this second or burn in hell forever. We underestimate the hell people already live in their lives. Read more

Campus Outreach: A Story of Abundant Faith

Last updated on: July 14, 2016 at 8:53 am   By Bill Blankschaen

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to keep walking by faith when you’ve almost reached your destination. In spite of God’s previous blessings, why is it the mountain in front of us in the here and now always seems to be the biggest one we’ve ever faced? Recently, I was privileged to share a conversation with Morgan Rogers, a young lady whose life has been transformed in the last several years by the Gospel. As a student heading out of college... Read more
