Leaving Prepared by Living Prepared by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 15, 2011 at 5:41 am By Robert Ricciardelli

The elderly often wonder if they are ready to leave this life and move on to next life. Why wait to get old to prepare or find peace to move on when your tomorrow, or even the end of today has no guarantee? Our finish in this world can come in any moment and we must be ready. Are we living as children of Light in fully loving God and mankind? The best assurance for leaving prepared is to have... Read more

Lone Rangers Find Themselves Alone by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 13, 2011 at 5:28 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Lone rangers end up finding themselves alone. They are often deceived in thinking that everyone needs them, and that they do not need anybody. People will only be able to really benefit from them when they get real, get right, and become vulnerable in their service to others. In the meantime we will continue to see the fusion of God and each other becoming a combustible force for good on earth as it is in heaven. Read more

Faith- The Most Powerful Gift by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 12, 2011 at 5:25 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Faith allows for us to live patiently with a longing that has not yet been fulfilled, and yet knowing the fulfillment will surely come. Faith is the most powerful gift for humanity, and can take that which is unseen and birth it on to the scene with God. We are all capable of living by faith in a God who walks with us, creates with us, and through our faith and His providence, produces the spectacular upon the earth. Read more

Learning Models in the 21st Century by John Chasteen

Last updated on: April 11, 2011 at 2:36 pm By editorconvergingzone

Understanding the Shifting Learning Models in the 21st Century Don’t Ask “Are We Teaching.” But Rather, “Is Anyone Learning? “ Learning models in America are rapidly changing. This is due to the fact that a contemporary generation no longer processes life as the previous one did. In light of this reality many of us run the risk of becoming out-dated and even antiquated in our approach to teaching and equipping the body of Christ. The question we should be asking... Read more

Less Knowledge, More Ready by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 10, 2011 at 5:23 am By Robert Ricciardelli

The greatest prophetic problem facing us is one of readiness rather than one of knowledge. We continue to fill ourselves with more knowledge than we need and yet do not apply much nor ever change much towards the absolute truths we have learned and confess to know. We do not need to know every detail, but we need to always be prepared spiritually for every good work, and be existentially ready for eternity now. Read more

Understanding Differing Perspectives by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 9, 2011 at 5:22 am By Robert Ricciardelli

To communicate effectively, we must realize that people come from various experiences, perceptions and world-views. We are all different and view life from a different set of lenses. We must have an understanding of the differing perspectives around us and seek to understand others so as to communicate with them optimally. Read more

Wisdom For Limited Perspectives by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 9, 2011 at 5:03 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Our views can become actual, even when they are actually not. We must learn the limits of our own perspectives while having grace for the limited perspectives of others. Perspectives in every person contain multiple idiosyncrasies and views that include experience, religion, culture, and value distinctions. It is not a wonder that we do not see eye to eye sometimes, yet with Wisdom’s understanding, we can choose to walk hand in hand. Read more

Purpose Beyond Happiness by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: April 8, 2011 at 5:21 am By Robert Ricciardelli

We want to be happy in life and should be, but the purpose of life is not about being happy. God created each of us uniquely to represent Himself. This means we are to be compassionate and merciful in the service of others. As ambassadors of God’s image we do matter, and are significant in every context of life. We stand for absolute truth and justice, and continue to live to make a difference to the world around us. Read more

Pride Comes Before the Fall by John C. Maxwell

Last updated on: April 7, 2011 at 3:13 am By editorconvergingzone

An ancient Hebrew proverb warns, “Pride comes before the fall,” and sometimes the adage is swiftly fulfilled. As a case in point, consider the story of American snowboarder, Lindsey Jacobellis. Cruising toward victory in the gold medal race of the snowboard cross, Jacobellis immodestly attempted to showboat on the second to last jump. She lost her balance maneuvering in mid-air and crashed to the snow. By the time she recovered and glided to the finish line, she had to settle... Read more

Seven Hallmarks of a Leader by John C. Maxwell

Last updated on: April 7, 2011 at 3:11 am By editorconvergingzone

Benjamin Franklin once said, “there is perhaps not one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive. Even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility.” Another of America’s founding fathers, John Adams, battled against arrogance as well, “Vanity, I am sensible, is my cardinal vice and cardinal folly; and I am...
