"What is the single most important thing you do at work?"

Planning and it's importance
Pray, Plan and Prioritize...then delegate.
But don't get hung up on planning...the LORD can intervene at any moment and you can change direction! Keep your ears open!
A good plan for beginning each day: Pray, Plan and Prioritize. Then Delegate...if you have someone to delegate to!
A few notes on "Planning" from the book of Proverbs:
"For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths." Proverbs 5:21
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21
"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty." Proverbs 21:5
"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth." Proverbs 27:1
We have to remember that these are observations...reality, not promises from the Bible. Our actions have consequences.
So, be sure to pray before making plans...and continue to pray!
My TWEETS for today

"The most important decisions that businesspeople make are not what decisions but who decisions." -Jim Collins, Author of Good To Great.
That also goes for non profit organizations!

WHO
WHAT
HOW
It's relatively easy to figure out What to do and also How to do something.
Maybe a more important decision is WHY we do what we do.
What are our motives? Have we sought the LORD on what we plan to do?
Then the rest becomes easy.
A good book for figuring that out is " Start With Why by Simon Sinek.
If you don't know WHY, You can't know HOW.
"All great leaders have clarity of WHY; an undying belief in a purpose or cause bigger than themselves. It's not Bill Gates's passion for computers that inspires us, it's his undying optimism that even the most complicated problems can be solved. He believes we can find ways to remove obstacles to ensure that everyone can live and worked to their greatest potential. It is his optimism to which we are drawn." P. 134
Let me know your thoughts!
Have a great day!

the organization exists in terms beyond its products or services, then
how does he expect the employees to know WHY to come to work?”

The Heartbeat of Our Mission
A few of my favorite worship songs!
Ephesians 5:15-20
Where my strength comes from!
The Heartbeat of Our Mission...
"Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name." Psalm 30:4
Ephesians 5:15-20
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Heartbeat of Our Mission...
"Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name." Psalm 30:4

Race and the Gospel: How the gospel transforms racial divisions in our world and our city.
On Monday, January 26, 2015, Eastbrook Church was honored to host Bishop Walter Harvey of Parklawn Assembly of God for a conversation and time of prayer on the topic of race and the Gospel here in the city of Milwaukee.
4 times a year we gather as a church to discuss key topics to help us move forward together. This year, we begin our Leadership Forum series with by addressing the challenging topic of how the gospel transforms racial divisions in our world and city. In a city known as one of the most segregated cities in the United States, we want to live into the dream of God for a multiethnic people rooted in the reconciling gospel of Jesus Christ.
