Schools in! I can just hear a collective sigh of relief—“Ahhhh”—from parents all over the country. For the next several months, schedules are getting set in stone. Summer’s freedom has given way to fall’s predictability. Kids are sad; parents are glad. Have you ever wondered what happened to that sense of adventure that we had as kids? Read More

What Motivates You?

Someone once said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily!” What motivates you? Have you noticed it is stronger some days that others? At its heart motivation is a matter of will. You and I must will and choose to do. We are motivated in the doing. God’s Word should always be our motivation. We must choose to read it and act upon it. We must embrace the Word and allow its truths to react with our lives. It can be an agent of leanings, strength, change, direction or re-direction. The point is that we must add the Word into our lives so that it can change and motivate us. As the Word works within us, we see the need to change and want more; thus we are motivated to apply more of the agent of change in our lives—the Word. Read More

Direction SignAs leaders, we pray, seek God, and are inspired by the Holy Spirit. At least, we should be. if not, then we need more prayer, more Word, and perhaps a change in those who influence us—but that is another article.

I choose to believe that you are at a place from which God is leading you to the place where He wants you to be. Now this can be a personal, spiritual, or ministerial journey. The important thing is that you are allowing God to take you to that higher or better place.

A Healthy and Happy Marriage PDF Print E-mail

By Lonnie Hilton
USA National Director & International Vice President


WeddingRingsAll too often couples—including those in ministry—assume that success in marriage occurs without any investment of time and energy. Many times marriage partners rely on emotional feelings and what they think are signs of compatibility to be the magic key to a successful marriage. Then when life and the marriage don’t run smoothly, they assume that individual differences are to blame. Divorce lawyers call this “irreconcilable differences.”


Usually the individuals struggling in marriage don’t question their own actions or attitudes. Unmarried couples usually don’t seek to learn the fundamentals to practice in their future marriages. Because of this, many people are setting themselves up for pain and/or failure.

Part of gaining control of events is planning for the unforeseen. For most people the biggest obstacle is their own habits. One such habit is procrastination.

Procrastination is a major time robber that affects all of us to one degree or another. To overcome procrastination is to regain control of our lives. “Putting it off” has probably produced more headaches and failure than any other time management problem.

The Case for Honor

by Pat Harrison
President and Founder


CoffeeCupThe Bible makes a case for honor, a necessary element in all our relationships.

John 5:23 says that we must honor God. Ephesians 6:1-3 talks about children honoring their parents. The Apostle Paul wrote that we are to respect (honor) leaders (1 Thess. 5:12) and our employers (1 Tim. 6:1). Marriage should be held in honor (Heb. 13:4), and we are to honor widows (1 Tim. 5:3) and the poor (1 Cor. 12:23). Actually we are to respect (honor) everyone (1 Peter 2:17), even those who question our Christian faith (1 Peter 3:15-16).

¿Es usted un disidente?

Por Pat Harrison, Presidenta y Fundadora

"¿Es usted un disidente?”

"Por supuesto que no.  Yo soy una buena persona. Obedezco la ley. Soy una persona de bien. Los disidentes son alborotadores “.

Vamos a analizar nuevamente lo que es un disidente. En el Diccionario Oxford de la Lengua inglesa, disentir significa “expresar un desacuerdo con un funcionario o con la opinión popular" o "no estar de acuerdo con la doctrina de una iglesia establecida u ortodoxa”. Como sustantivo, significa "un desacuerdo con un oficial o una opinión amplia”.
