Leadership Challenges

In response to the news this week of another Christian leader admitting to an extra-marital affair, Rev. Gary Sweeten reposted an article called "The Crisis of Leadership".

Dr. Sweeten has some good advice on recognizing symptoms of a leader's crisis, things that won't work, and things that do.

I also appreciated his words around our need to develop intimacy with God and His Spirit.

A Modern Method for Prayer

I worked tonight on writing and editing a modern edition of Matthew Henry's "A Method for Prayer".

Henry, who lived from 1662 - 1714, first published his "Method for Prayer" in 1712, which utilized Scripture as a means for prayer.

I've found it to be a helpful resource as for my devotional life. I'll post a link to the draft of the text as soon as I finish Chapter 1.
