I have visited many other countries and always been impressed with the cultures, beauty and people of other nations in the world. I appreciate the readers of this blog from around the world, and I have even been in another country as they celebrated their founding day. Today is our special day in the United States, as we celebrate our country’s founding.

A young college-aged girl told me recently that she didn’t enjoy reading her Bible and asked if there was an alternative book. Well…no! This is THE BOOK! There is no substitute. There are plenty of great Christian books, but none compare to this one. I’ve heard similar concerns many times. The Bible intimidates many people; even those who are avid readers of other books.

I explained recently that I have a new heart stirring. You can read about it HERE. About the time I started considering some of this new direction for my ministry, (it’s actually an addition to my ministry since I’m not leaving the one I have now) along came a book in the mail by Tom Watson called “ Man Shoes “ Wow! Talk about perfect timing!

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.&# John 15:12. As believers, loving others is not to be an option, it’s to be a lifestyle. No one does that better than my wife Cheryl. Recently we were on a 3 1/2 hour flight to San Francisco. I was in the window seat, Cheryl was in the middle, and a woman we didn’t know was in the aisle seat.

Responsiveness is extremely important in leadership and organizational health. It’s one of the non-negotiables for teams I lead. (I wrote about those non-negotiables HERE.) Being responsive shows that a leader cares for others, recognizes their value, and is disciplined enough to follow through. There are times, however, when I believe responsiveness is not only the wise or right thing to do, critical in terms of protecting the relationship.
