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.

Why is this Stewardship Thing so Hard???

This has been an amazing week of God Intersections for me.  My normal “vital activity” every week is to meet with three God Intersections.  The purpose of those meetings is to simply hear where folks are at (everyone has a story), model what God is doing in my life and find out how I can help.  This week I’ve had over 15 intersections (a record) all around a fairly common theme.  That theme is “my business (or life) is NOT working very well”.

So you want to be Transformed!

Transforming our lives into it’s best possible version is of great interest to many of us.  We are tired of the same old life, same old pain, same old results.

The million dollar question is “How does transformation happen”?  What is our role in the process?  What is God’s role in the process?

And so we begin (again?).  We search for new knowledge that will jump start the process.  We read books, go to seminars, listen to sermons, pray, read God’s word, serve when we can etc.  We do all this for the purpose, perhaps unspoken, of becoming a better version of ourselves and Jesus Christ.  And after we do all this we find we are incrementally different which we don’t mind but it seemed like a lot of work for such little change.

Becoming “A Light on the Hill”

As I pondered my learnings from 2009 I realized what a rich year it was. God imparted more things to me during 2009 than any previous time I can remember. Things like:

  1. Truth does not need to be defended – God can handle it. My job is to simply love people where they are
  2. God is the Owner, I am the steward of my life and business. Leave the results up to Him and simply do my part
  3. God, as the Owner, will guide my life if I will simply follow the God Intersections
  4. Move our businesses into God’s Economy
  5. Build a Community, it is the new foundation for significance.
