Where are you going in life? Have you even thought about it? Are you a person that is just in a canoe going down the river, lazily enjoying life but really going nowhere? Are you someone who says, “I would like to do something with my life. I don’t really have anyone in my life to help me. I don’t even know how you do it. I don’t know how you make plans or set goals.” God is here to help you today. God is the biggest goal setter there ever was. He set a goal to win the whole

Today we are going to talk about a completely different aspect of being a Christian. We are going to talk about becoming the leader you were meant to be. Not everyone is born a leader. Some people are. They just naturally take off and lead people. Some people stay in the background. If you can ever get them to the front, they make tremendous leaders because they are quiet and diplomatic, easy with people. It does not matter about your personality. There are people God wants you to lead. You might say, “I don’t have any desire to be a

I am so glad that you are coming back for these lessons. I talk to a lot of you on the phone and by e-mail, maybe run into you at the grocery store. Many people from out of town call me and say they are watching this show. That is fun and I am really enjoying this. When I teach these lessons, I try to talk to you through this television camera as though I were looking at you. We all live in the same world. You live in the real world and so do I. We all make mistakes.

We are studying how to become a good leader and there are all of these lessons to help you learn how to become one. Maybe you have grandchildren that have no one teaching them how. Maybe they have family situations, the worst possible situation, and yet you can see leadership in them. You can sense that God is calling them. I worked in a Franklin Graham Crusade in our town once. I was working at the altar praying with people who came down to give their hearts to the Lord. One of these people was a little boy who might

This is the last lesson in the eight-part lesson series on leadership, Leadership Skills for the 21st Century. In Part One we had four lessons, and in Part Two we have four lessons. The one today is probably the one that people dread. Do you like to confront people? Do you like to hold people accountable for their actions. Most of us run from it, even in your own family. When we are talking about leadership skills, it is not only for a business or ministry, it is not only for an organization of which you are the head. It

Have you ever thought about the fact that you have a great many strengths and they could be your weakness? No, you think about well my strengths are my strengths and my weakness are my weakness Betty. No unguarded strength can even be a double weakness. That is what we are going to talk about today. Most of the time when we think about ourselves people will say, “What are you good at?” Maybe you have a hard time even thinking of it, but boy you can tell them your weaknesses. However, God has great areas that he wants to

Today we are going to talk about how to find the right follower or the right person for the job. Not everyone wants to be a leader and that is okay. Not everyone is a leader. In fact, there is a saying, “too many chiefs and not enough Indians.” You cannot do anything big or great without a lot of workers. There have to be a lot of “worker bees.” In Proverbs it says to look at the ants. They do not have anyone leading them and making them do something. They are just there busy and working. They have

We are now going into part two of four more lessons on leadership skills in the 21st century. It is not just about being a leader in business or in a ministry or in a corporation; it is about being a leader in your own family and around your friends, around any place that God desires to put you because God needs you to speak for Him. He needs you to show people what He is like. That is why He sent Jesus. “Jesus, show them what I am like.” He did. You may be the only Jesus some people

Are you a big dreamer? Do you have thoughts and desires inside that head of yours that you would love to see happen? You think, “I don’t know how in the world this could happen, but if I could do anything I wanted to do, this would be it.” Or, do you think, “I think the Lord has been telling me something. I think He has been telling me that He wants me to do this big thing and I don’t know if I know how to do it, I don’t what to do to get there.” There are a

How is your life going today? Are you busy? Do you feel like you are never going to get it done? Do you feel like too many things and too little time? Do you feel rushed? Most people in America would say unbelievably. Sometimes when I travel and people say, “Oh I would love to live in America. It is the land of prosperity.” I think, “I wonder if you have any idea how hard people in America work? They work longer hours. It has even been documented that they take less and less vacations; that their employer is really
