Striving Versus Rest by John Meyer

Last updated on: August 24, 2011 at 12:49 pm By editorconvergingzone

Sitting on the side of my bed trying to remember where I left my flip flops so I could travel down the stairs to find the bathroom in the dark, was such a difficult moment for me one early summer morning. I couldn’t tell you exactly why, except for the fact my season of transition weighed heavily on what I’ve been letting go of. For too long I have lived a life where I had no problem trying to make...

Gentleness is the Evidence of Presence by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 23, 2011 at 11:41 am By editorconvergingzone

“It is difficult to find gentleness in a world enthralled by power, prestige, and productivity, and it is of no consequence when people get disregarded on the ladder of success. Gentleness presents the evidence of the presence of God within us. Gentle is the one who is attentive to the strengths and weaknesses of others, and knows that true growth requires nurture and not force. May we be lead with the gentleness of Spirit.” Have you ever been knocked down... Read more

Stewarding Our Thought Life by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 22, 2011 at 12:08 pm By editorconvergingzone

“Thoughts are an amazing commodity that we must consciously steward. Our thoughts should be our choosing through the proper filters of empowering beliefs and principles. By aligning our thoughts with principles of the Divine, we grow further towards the likeness of God. The discipline of choosing life giving thoughts while disregarding and disempowering negativity, brings an outflow of transformational change and abundance.” Are you aware of your thought life and how it has the power to control your life? Are... Read more

Jesus, The Great Liberator by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 21, 2011 at 11:13 am By editorconvergingzone

“Jesus is the great liberator for mankind. He sets us free from the wisdom of man, false religion, and the captivity of our own thoughts. We can now move deeper into the heart and nature of God, and empowered to live in His love. Jesus bridges the gap between humanity and the divine. He liberates us back to God. In this freedom, nobody has the power to defeat us or destroy us. Simply put, He gave us victory over all.”... Read more

Have Faith in God by James Ryle

Last updated on: August 20, 2011 at 10:41 am By editorconvergingzone

And Jesus answering saith unto them, “Have faith in God.” (Mar 11:22) I thank God for the days of my childhood. Yes, I was placed in an orphanage by my mother when I was six years old, and yes the place was cold and ominous. And, yes, there were many shameful experiences at the hands of cruel and unqualified adults. On the other hand, however, I was afforded a very unique and individual upbringing, which has shaped much of my... Read more

The True Measure of Success in the Kingdom by Joseph Mattera

Last updated on: August 18, 2011 at 8:39 pm By editorconvergingzone

In our American culture we glorify results and performance. The measure of our success is often the level of positive response received, monies raised, and number of people we gather. In this article I am examining if the above view lines up with biblical standards since, if the measure of success stated above is correct, then many of the great biblical and historic heroes of the faith were really miserable failures! This topic has been especially important to me because,... Read more

What it Means to Be an Authentic Leader by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 18, 2011 at 5:45 pm By editorconvergingzone

“The hierarchical controls of titled, and entitled leaders of various systems have marginalized people throughout history. There are authorities, assignments, and gifts that God gives to serve others, but His Kingdom is never self-serving and always beckoning its citizens to lay down their lives for others. Ambassadors for God are empowered to lead through the foundation of God’s love and strength, filtered by humility. —Robert Ricciardelli Many people have written on what it means to be a leader. Almost everyone... Read more

Eradicating Conditional Mindsets by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 18, 2011 at 12:34 pm By editorconvergingzone

” Limiting beliefs come up every so often. Our limiting beliefs come from a conditioned mind that moves us in the wrong direction. We must renew our mind to get us going in the right direction. Take a look at the emotion without condemnation, do not give it power, and release it to God. Choose hope filled thoughts of truth, and your renewed mind can now embrace new beliefs that create positive emotions and experiences.” Can you see areas of... Read more

The Security of Sonship by Greg Austin

Last updated on: August 18, 2011 at 11:25 am By editorconvergingzone

He sits, alone in the darkness of his own construction, in this macabre tomb of his destiny. Body and soul convulse with unfathomable tremors of primordial fear. He is abandoned, lost, has been left behind. The recognition instigates a renewed and instinctual shuddering that courses through the whole of his being. No fear can compare with this fear. Not the fear of falling or the fear of drowning, not the fear of the unknown or even the fear of death... Read more

Authentic Leaders Arise While the Haughty Are Humbled by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 17, 2011 at 12:23 pm By editorconvergingzone

“Leaders who have a tough time being humble, vulnerable, and authentic, typically lead through insecurities that have been with them since childhood. They were never esteemed, passed over often, and sometimes disregarded altogether. When significance or power in leadership is given to them, they will protect it through control and manipulation. Authentic leadership will arise while the haughty will continue to be humbled.” Do you lead in ways that protect, or in ways that are vulnerable? How do you respond... Read more
