An Eternal Matter

When we boil it all down, what really matters?

We often make life complicated. We get caught up in trivial pursuits and do not focus of what really matters.

Please do not misunderstand. We must work to provide for our families. We need time for rest and recreation. There are also family responsibilities.

If, however, we believe that spiritual and eternal matters are the priority, then why do we often spend our lives focused on areas that are temporary in nature?

As we end 2025 and begin 2026, a new year, let us lead with our priorities firmly established and influence the major areas of life in ways to make heaven that much sweeter.

Objective Leadership

One word, but this is not just any word, especially when it comes to leadership.

What is the objective? Is the objective clearly defined? Has the objective been communicated to everyone on the team?

Leaders carry a responsibility to clearly define the role and responsibilities of each individual involved in achieving the objective. They must understand their role and responsibility in order to make decisions connected to the objective.

Without clear communication of responsibilities and expectations, suspicion is created. Motives are called into question. The result is distrust.

It may be one word, but the objective touches the whole of the work.

The Language of Jesus

Languages are not a strong suite for most of us. Imagine the difficulty of listening to the multiplicity of languages around the world.

However, the key to communicating effectively is understanding.

The ability to communicate so others understand is vital to our leadership.

Goals must be communicated so everyone understands.

Plans must also be communicated effectively.

Roles and responsibilities must be understood.

Above all, leading others to Jesus demands communicating the message of the cross in ways others understand.
