Stuart McAllister: 3 Steps to Resist the Worship of Self

Last updated on: September 18, 2013 at 5:55 am   By Bill Blankschaen

Privileged to feature a guest post from Stuart McAllister, Vice President, Training and Special Projects, with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. Stuart, born in Scotland, has been a long-time Christian mobilizer in Europe, including several brief imprisonments for preaching the gospel in communist countries. Our culture embraces the diversity of idolatrous options manufactured and served up to us on a regular basis. Narcissism finds a welcome in many hearts. How do we resist? What can we do to face the challenge,... Read more

What Does the Bible Teach about Drinking Alcohol?

Last updated on: May 18, 2015 at 7:15 pm   By Bill Blankschaen

How Is Your Relationship with God?

Last updated on: September 11, 2013 at 6:15 am   By Bill Blankschaen

How is your relationship with God? Have you ever been asked this question? Maybe you’ve asked the question of others. How should it be answered? Is there a right or wrong way? I recently heard Randy Pope, author of Insourcing: Bringing Discipleship Back to the Local Church (Leadership Network Innovation Series) share an account of how he has often posed the question, “How is your relationship with God?” to men in his discipleship groups. He often gets answers such as, “Well, I’ve... Read more

See a Few of our Favorite Things at Walt Disney World

Last updated on: September 5, 2013 at 5:29 am   By Bill Blankschaen

When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. ~ Walter Elias Disney Our family has been to Walt Disney World (WDW) in Orlando, Florida, a few times. Well, maybe more than a few. We’ve even spent an entire month living there once. You can see a little bit of why here in my post Why Walt Disney World Is Our Favorite Place to Be a Family.  But perhaps the best way to understand why WDW is our favorite place to be a family is... Read more

Why Walt Disney World is our Favorite Place to be a Family

Last updated on: September 4, 2013 at 7:35 am   By Bill Blankschaen

The important thing is the family. If you can keep the family together–and that’s the backbone of our whole business, catering to families–that’s what we hope to do.  ~ Walter Elias Disney Over the Labor Day weekend, I talked to a few friends who are traveling to the “Happiest PLace on Earth” in the coming weeks. The conversation reminded me of some of the best family times we’ve ever experienced there at the house the Mouse built. Walt’s dream for Disney parks... Read more

Leadership Lesson from Obama and the Syria “Red Line”

Last updated on: August 30, 2013 at 10:37 am   By Bill Blankschaen

It’s called an ultimatum. Usually frustrated people make them. It’s what President Obama gave to Syria when he said the use of chemical weapons would be crossing a “red line.” The goal of the cruise missile strikes the United States is planning to carry out in Syria is to restore the smudged “red line” that President Obama drew a year ago against the use of poison gas. (The New York Times) I’ve seen it a lot from teachers, parents (myself included), and leaders of... Read more

Duck Dynasty: If the Robertsons Were to Ask for My Advice

Last updated on: August 28, 2013 at 12:29 pm   By Bill Blankschaen

In my happy, happy, happy little world, what if the Robertsons of Duck Dynasty, overwhelmed by the tsunami of popularity and fame, picked up the phone to ask for my advice on how to avoid making a mess of it all? Think Miley Cyrus and you’ll see how the best laid plans can go wrong in a hurry. The last thing we need is Willie Robertson on stage wearing latex in any form. In fact, latex and Duck Dynasty probably... Read more

If you haven’t heard by now of Duck Dynasty, the hit reality show on A & E, you may not be all your quacked up to be. Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Just put it on my bill.

Why I Left Your Seeker-Friendly Church

Last updated on: January 17, 2016 at 12:37 pm   By Bill Blankschaen

It’s not you. It’s me. That’s why I left your seeker-friendly church. At least that’s what I’m telling everyone. Just to be polite. I know I should just be honest, being a Christian and all, but I’d rather not feel like an evangelical outcast if I can help it. It’s bad enough that I haven’t renewed my subscription to Christianity Today (If we could just keep that between us, I’d appreciate it). But truth be told, I just don’t get... Read more
