GodIntersections.com Current Best Thinking says:

  1. God is the  Owner of our Life and we are the Steward.
  2. Good Stewards don’t make “Owner” decisions.  They simply do what they can.
  3. If God is the Owner then He gets to decide how our life turns out.
  4. If we need direction from the Owner then pay attention to the Intersections God creates in our lives.
  5. In the absence of God’s direction our Current Best Thinking is enough.  Act on what you know.
  6. If God (the Owner) wants our Current Best Thinking to change it is His responsibility to show us how.
  7. Significance is found in letting the Owner lead and simply loving the person currently in front of us.

Mark's Meanderings

This Idea called Cooperative Capitalism

For most of 2010 God and I have had a running dialogue regarding how to describe what Godintersections.com and Leadership Productivity Forum’s are actually all about. You all have heard me use phrases like:

  1. Finding your way in challenging times using God Intersections
  2. Learning to Trust God with our businesses
  3. Building God’s Economy businesses
  4. Growing success, finding significance.

All true but somehow a little too confining. Particularly when talking to marketplace folks who are not Christians. This year has been fascinating in terms of the dialogue and God Ideas my Intersections have created. So my Current Best Thinking is that we are all about:

  1. Helping marketplace people find their way in business by involving the living God
  2. Working with business leaders to learn, practice and replicate Cooperative Capitalism in our economy

What do you do when the fear gets too bad?

In these challenging times fear is something we deal with regularly. Fear that we won’t pay the bills, fear that we might get sick, fear difficult things will happen to our loved ones, fear that we won’t get that new deal we are working on, etc. Fear, of course, causes pain particularly as it worsens. And I’m talking to lots of people these days whose fear and pain are causing their everyday lives to be very challenging.

What is interesting is the different ways I see people dealing with fear. They include:

Finding the End of Ourselves

What an interesting journey this Trusting God is!!!!  It has been over two years since God asked me “Will you trust Me?”.  I suspected the journey would be difficult and in some sense I was right.  But not in the way I thought.  The hardest part in working with people on this journey is helping them “Find the End of Themselves”.
