Expand Your Vision of Who Is Reading It is not just about expanding your distribution list; it is about expanding your vision. Never assume that no one is reading what you distribute. If it is practical, truthful, well written, and addressing the questions people are asking, someone will read it. It may not who you expect, but someone will read. There will people who will ignore your publication, some who discard it, and others who glance over it. You must distribute to them in order to reach the smaller group of people who are hungry. See that person in your mind and in your prayers. Know that...
Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:18:53 -0700 To Whom Are You Speaking? Your first concern in developing a publication ministry is to determine your audience. To whom are you speaking? Are you addressing yourself to your own members? If so, that will drive your content.

Are we angry with sermons and institutions and the God they describe? Do we perceive God as unfair and ruthless? The importance of personal belief lies in what happens inside of me when I believe and identify with ultimate truth....

They have many expressions and characteristics, but I want to focus today on one dimension of choice: Playing it safe or risking everything. Most people agree that “stupid risks,” those made in a stupor of pleasure seeking irrationality, are worthless and possibly evil.
