Laws of Growth

15 Invaluable Laws of Growth

15 Laws BookI am committed to life-long learning and I hope you are too. Learning and growth does not end when you receive your university degree or obtain a particular position. Learning is crucial and critical to realize our leadership potential. You need to be intentionally engaged to grow in your leadership through continued learning.
 
Potential is a powerful word; it looks forward with optimism and is filled with hope. Potential has its promises and hints at greatness. To reach your potential you must grow. This book seeks to help you along that path--the pathway towards understanding how personal growth works and towards helping you become a more effective individual, parent, leader, and child of God!

Which of these 'Laws that Govern Your Growth' fit you right now?

  • Growth Doesn’t Just Happen
  • You Must Know Yourself To Grow Yourself
  • You Must See Value In Yourself To Add Value To Yourself
  • Learning To Pause Allows Growth To Catch Up With You
  • Motivation Gets You Going – Discipline Keeps You Growing
  • Growth Thrives In Conducive Environments
  • To Maximize Growth, Develop Strategies
  • Good Management of Bad Experiences Leads to Great Growth
  • Character Growth Determines The Height Of Your Personal Growth
  • Growth Stops When You Lose The Tension Between Where You Are And Where You Could Be
  • You Have To Give Up To Grow Up
  • Growth Is Stimulated By Asking Why?
  • It’s Hard To Improve When You Have No One Else But Yourself To Follow
  • Growth Always Increases Your Capacity
  • Growing Yourself Enables You To Grow Others

If you couldn't tell, I underlined and made bold the ones I resonated with the most right now. Character growth is something I have been struggling with personally for a few years. It is a "on and then off again" development for me. I want that to change but I am convinced I cannot do it all by my onesies... so I have been in search of a mentor.

Comment below as to which one you resonated with the most and perhaps we can gain some "insight into ourselves" and the One who made us to grow! To His glory forever and ever, amen!

I Wish We'd All Been ... Left Behind

  Perhaps you have heard the group DC Talk sing the remake of Larry Norman’s’ song, “I Wish We’d All Been Ready”? There is something tragically deceptive about the lyrics though. As we sing along, we find ourselves participating in a couple instances where we wish we had been ready to be taken instead of left behind. But that is not how Jesus tells his side of the story. The words are inspired by Matthew 24:40-41. But let’s look more closely, shall we? MATTHEW 24:37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away . That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. ...

IN ESSENTIALS, UNITY

I just had a board meeting where I went over a study on the word "unity" and "divisions." The question that immediately came up was, "Well, Christians don't have to agree on everything...right?" My response went something like this, "Well, wouldn't we want to?" It hit the fan like a lead balloon, which is not at all what I had expected. I thought all of the other board members would be shouting, "Yes!" and giving me high-fives and chest bumps. Well, maybe not chest bumps at this age.  There were some other ideas, thoughts and opinions expressed, and I was like, "We just went over this study of like 25 verses that state we are to be unified and have no divisions among us. Why don't you get it?" Seems like I was the one who actually didn't get it. It wasn't that I thought my interpretations were wrong, the weren't. The question centered around their application. "How in the world are we to agree on e...

Review: Evangelism More Caught than Taught

I teach Evangelism & Discipleship I & II online for a Christian University in Ohio. I was looking over an assignment that really threw me for a curve because the exercise goes against what the course is teaching. The course uses as one of its textbooks, Becoming a Contagious Christian: Communicating Your Faith in a Style that Fits You, which teaches that there are several ways of evangelizing referred to as "styles" and that there isn't only one acceptable way. Those styles are: Direct style, Intellectual style, Invitational style, and Serving style. Then the course has students read an article that emphasizes one style (Direct, or perhaps Intellectual) and asks them to attempt to do so. The article gives the following statement for its rationale: "We are dedicated to equipping people for evangelism, not because large numbers follow us, but because it is the command Jesus gave to His followers. We don’t take others with us for OJT because it’s c...
