Good-bye (audio version)

People will often remember the manner and disposition of your leaving even more than the fact of it.  Lasting impressions are created with a good-bye.  Make sure yours is a good good-bye. In his farewell address to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:13-38) , the Apostle Paul shows us the fine art of the good good-bye.

The Teachable Spirit

Oftentimes when someone possesses a truly brilliant intellect, pride inevitably follows. Perhaps the person is a braggart making sure everyone knows how smart he is. Perhaps the person feigns humility to be seen in a positive public light when behind closed doors, the sneer of condescension reigns supreme. Perhaps the person adopts the view of […]
