What If…Part 1

June 28, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Think about the various ways we use the word if.

If we could only win a game.

If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say…

If you do that one more time I am going to stand you in the corner (or some other form of discipline).

If I hear this any more I will go crazy.

If archaeologists would find (a Biblical artifact) I would believe.

We often speak with the conditional use of the word if.

Yet, there is also great significance to the use of this word. What would you or I attempt to do if we knew we could not fail?

A Question

May 5, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

I first saw this question on a church building sign.

The question challenges the depth of our faith and the strength of our vision.

The question requires a deep reflection into our soul to determine where we are and where we want to go.

The question brings a responsibility to act, requiring us to get up and do something.

The question applies to every individual and congregation. It stretches across every generation, culture, and era.

Before you read the question, remember to give serious consideration to the question before answering.

The question is simply this: “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?”

When A Leader Fails

March 1, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

I have been fascinated with a number of quotes and principles regarding leadership and what happens when leaders fail to be trustworthy.

One primary thought expressed by John Maxwell, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”

On more than one occasion I have heard various news reporters express the idea of accountability. Specifically, one analyst expressed that what leaders need to do when mistakes are made is to confess the mistake, take responsibility, and let the chips fall where they may.

What happens when leaders fail?

Leaders will experience failure and make mistakes. How leaders strategically maneuver during these times determines the level of trust from those who follow.

If… Part 2

August 15, 2019 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

We left off yesterday with this question: “What would we do if we knew we could not fail?

Would we talk to the neighbor across the street if we could not fail?

Would we set greater goals for reaching the lost of our state or country if we could not fail?

Would our approach to world missions take on loftier efforts if we could not fail?

We cannot fail! The Bible reminds us that not one of God’s good promises ever failed. 

He has promised to be with us and never forsake us, to listen to us and counsel us, and to give the increase.

Why are we waiting?

If…

Think about the various ways we use the word “if.”

If we could only win a game.
If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say…
If you do that one more time I am going to…
If I hear this again I will go crazy.
If archaeologists could find (pick out a Biblical artifact) I would believe.

We often use this word in a conditional sense.

Consider the significance of this word in a question: “What would we do if we knew we could not fail?”

Think about it and we will look at more tomorrow.
