Preaching To Yourself by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 17, 2011 at 1:29 pm By editorconvergingzone

Sometimes you just got to preach to yourself, declaring truth while diffusing the lies from your own voice or the voice of others. Declare these things over your life, “I am as child of God, and all the blessings of His Word belong to me. I am a person of destiny and am fully equipped. I am talented, creative, and designed for a purpose. I am loved, chosen, and accepted by Almighty God, and His grace is sufficient for me.... Read more

Learning the Ways of the Ant by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 16, 2011 at 8:49 am By editorconvergingzone

The ant diligently works in unity with others and stores food in seasons of harvest. The ant is an initiator and does not need a task master in order for it to do the right things. It continues to work faithfully in all conditions, and when the storms of life destroy mountains of opportunity, they go and build another prosperous hill to work in. One of the smallest of God’s creatures can become one of His greatest teachers. Wisdom comes... Read more

Priorities Matter, “First Things First!” by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 15, 2011 at 7:29 pm By editorconvergingzone

When our priorities are right, life goes well with us, and when we pursue the wrong things, life becomes unpleasant for us and for those around us. We all must realize our purpose in life while acknowledging the specific priorities tied to our purpose. When we misalign our choices, we begin to move away from God’s intended focus and disciplines. Discernment is critical, especially when we are tempted to make choices that are easy, fun, or urgent. First things first;... Read more

Eight Lessons Leaders Can Learn From Tiger Woods” Life by Joseph Mattera

Last updated on: December 15, 2011 at 4:39 pm By editorconvergingzone

The epic saga of Tiger Woods’ fall from being touted as a model citizen and athletic superstar to a reckless, self-centered, out-of-control sex addict serves as a leadership lesson for all of us. The following are important principles we need to take seriously for ourselves and those we are leading: I. Leaders need to build their lives upon the solid foundation of good character and morals, not on gifts and abilities. You can master the art of making money but... Read more

“Eleven Leadership Lessons from Tim Tebow’s Success” By Joseph Mattera

Last updated on: December 15, 2011 at 4:36 pm By editorconvergingzone

Like many others in the country, I have been closely following Tim Tebow’s journey from college to professional football, and I am thrilled with his incredible success in the NFL! Tebow was picked low in the first round of the college draft because of his supposed weaknesses as a passer. This was in spite of him winning the Heisman Trophy and leading his team to two BCS National Championships. Since his days as a college quarterback I have been impressed... Read more

You Become What You Worship by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 14, 2011 at 10:13 am By editorconvergingzone

You become that in which you worship the most. If you worship money, you become greedy and manipulative. When you worship self, you become absorbed in whatever brings you pleasure. When you worship the things you do not have, and you become an envious soul that is never satisfied. When you worship God, He lives through you and empowers you to take on the nature and image for which you have been born. Reserve your worship for God alone and... Read more

You Are What You Eat by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 13, 2011 at 9:50 am By editorconvergingzone

You are what you eat in spirit, soul, and body. What we continue to see, hear, think about, or speak forth can affect our spiritual lives. Jesus talked about partaking of Him, or in a sense eating His agape life so that we can engage optimally as His Spirit led Body on earth as it is in heaven. We will reap what he sow which directly relates to what we have been eating and digesting spiritually. It is time to... Read more

Your Words Can Change Your Attitude by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 12, 2011 at 2:09 pm By editorconvergingzone

We can change our attitude by changing our vocabulary. It can make the difference from being a victim in what we do to becoming empowered in all we do. When we say we “have” to do something, we are saying that we are enslaved to that thing. When we “get” to do something, it becomes a privilege, a gift, and a real opportunity. Become aware of the words you are using. Start using “get to” rather than “have to,” and... Read more
