Has there ever been someone in your life that you wish you had listened to at one point? Maybe pertaining to some sort of advice or challenge? The truth is, so many of us are so hard-headed that we feel like we have it all under control. If we’re not careful, we’ll find ourselves in situations that make us think how different the circumstances might be, if we had only listened. This week Richard Hamlet shares from Matthew 3:1-4.
Real Time in the Marketplace
Did you know that one of the leading causes of stress today, is related to our finances? When it comes to money, people worry. Even though Philippians 4:6 says, “Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done.” And in the book of Matthew, it talks about ways that God provides for His children and emphasizes the importance of our worth in His eyes. Today’s guest, has a passion for business and helping people. For the last twenty years, Ed Gillentine has used the financial planning platform as his ministry. He’s now the Senior Partner for Williams and Gillentine Legacy Planning. He’s not only impacting people in his city, but around the world.
Choices aren’t always easy. In fact, it seems like the more options that we are faced with, the more difficult they become. Why do you think that is? Maybe, it’s because we’re afraid that if we choose one, then we might miss out on what the other options have to offer. It’s anticipating disappointment. Today, Richard Hamlet shares from 1 Kings, when the Israelites were faced with a really big decision to make and how it all panned out.
Real Time in the Marketplace
Rev. Dwight L. Moody once said, “Where one man reads the Bible, one-hundred men read you and me.” Every week on Ministry in the Marketplace, we try to highlight the importance of letting our lives reflect Christ. Not being perfect by any means, but letting our light shine in the marketplace. This quote from Dr. Moody is a perfect reminder for us to live our lives in such a way that points other people to Jesus. Our guest today is Dr. Erwin Lutzer. Dr. Lutzer recently transitioned from his role as Pastor of The Moody Church in Chicago, to Pastor Emeritus. He’s also authored several books including, “Ten Lies About God, Why Good People Do Bad Things, The Power of a Clear Conscience. Recently, Richard caught up with Dr. Lutzer in Nashville, TN.
