If you are going to spend 6 years of your life on something, you better learn more from doing it than the information that you are researching. I think I’ve learned a few things from working on one project for so long. So here are 6 things that I learned during my 6 year project.
Pantene has said what every professional woman has wanted to say: “When I’m at my best, my colleagues think the worst of me.” [Read more…]
I suggested earlier that God made us such that every person desires justice for all people. The result of being created this way is a lingering sense that what we see around us is not what God intended. Most people feel pretty overwhelmed by the injustices around them, as if there is nothing that they can do. I would suggest that those injustices you are most attuned to are a significant indicator of God’s call on your life.

I believe a Christian can give only one response to the difficult question of suffering. This place is not what God had in mind and he will in fact set the whole world to rights one day…we pray that it comes quickly.
Most of us are pulled in lots of different directions. Sometimes we come to church and are challenged to do more: more prayer, more missions, more giving and so on. Our university students at University of Indianapolis’s McCleary Chapel are no different. This is my call to the students to “Do Only What You Are Called To Do.”

What is your greatest desire? What is the one thing that you would do everyday for the rest of your life if you were able?
There are good reasons that we have been taught to NOT trust our desire. Our desire is often corrupted by the depravity of sin. But often our life callings are driven by our deepest desires that have been resting in our soul just waiting to come to the surface and awaken our greatest joy.
