A Morning View By the Wood Stove

Network Marketing is a sales tool which builds upon relationship with others. I help you earn an income and as I help you you help me grow my income. We build relationship, we develop a mutual interest, help each other grow as we share tips and best practices along the way and we can become close friends with impactful support. I have never been successful in any of these economic ventures, but many have. It seems to be a simple impactful way to build financial independence. 

Why do churches not grow? Let me define growth because there are two types in my example. There are numbers of people in the building or now, online attending with us. The second is individual deepening of our personal life journeys with God. Numbers are important, but depth in teaching and learning growth are critical. 

Jesus lived his life for 33 years. The last three were his defined as his ministry years. He invented network marketing. He build relationship, he developed a mutual interest, helped others grow as he share tips and best practices along the way and he became close friends with impactful support. It was a simple impactful way to build spiritual and eternal independence. 

You want your church to grow? Perhaps better said, do you want The Church to grow? Model how Jesus lived and loved. It does not come without pain, struggle, setbacks and fears, but it does come with eternal life. God so loves us and desires us to become the best network marketers ever! The Holy Spirit will help guide you, equip you and encourage you in your uncomfortable concern of how to share. Honestly, you just need to develop relationship! 

The impact of network marketing the Christ within in us is critical and eternal! The most important task we have as believers in Jesus Christ.

“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20 NLT


Peace,

A Morning View From the Porch at Lakeside

I typically am not a big breakfast eater. Every year at Lakeside for Annual Conference there is a group of men who invite me to breakfast at The Patio. Every year I go one time and enjoy talking and joking with this group and every year I order the same breakfast, a plain toasted bagel with cream cheese and a glass of water. It is tradition, you know! I often get asked why I do not order something different? My answer is, "if something is good and satisfies my hunger, why should I order something different? Besides, I like a plain toasted bagel with cream cheese!"  I wonder why some people have a salvation experience with Jesus Christ but wander away from the most amazing relationship possible with the Creator of all? They seem to have a taste for many different flavors of seeking to fulfill their Spirit hole in their lives. Often people bounce from one religious experience to another without a deep connection and commitment. They order something different from the menu each ...

A Morning View By the Patio

When I was a young boy we lived in the country and I had to become very creative in how I played. Much of the time I was alone and hd to create imaginary situations so that there were "others" around me. I would also "become" someone else and emulate everything they did. I would know them, study them and learn all I possibly could about them and then become them. One of the people I "became" was Wilt the "Stilt" Chamberlain. At the time he was a famous Los Angeles Laker NBA star. I always wanted to become Wilt. I practiced his famous hook shot, watched him play on TV and learned all of his moves. I had some of the most amazing NBA battles all alone in my uneven gravel driveway. In my mind I was Wilt the "Stilt" Chamberlain. There were a few drawbacks in becoming Wilt. First, my skin pigment was as white as could be. Wilt was African American and I was never going to become Wilt. Second, Wilt was over 7 feet tall. At my peak of vertica...

A Morning View From the Patio

I have been gently encouraged by someone who was nudged by the Lord to make a list for the next week of positive characteristics which make me who I am.   Today I begin with compassion. I truly strive to be compassionate with everyone I encounter. I desire to reach out and care when others are struggling. Even if I encounter someone who has hurt me in the past or I may not connect with, I try to put aside differences and find a way to share compassion with them. After all, Jesus was compassionate all the way to death. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.” - 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Peace, PB
