Psalm 111:10 says, ‘The fear of the Lord in the beginning of wisdom.’ Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10 say the identical thing. Three times God tells us that we begin to get wise when we begin to fear Him. If the first of the 10 Commandments is to love God with all of our heart, mind,…

Should We Give Away What Meets our Needs in Order to Meet our Needs?
Each of us is driven to satisfy our needs. But what happens when someone else has a need and we have to ignore it to get our own needs met? In families and in society at large there is perceived competition for need satisfaction. There is also another level to this competition – satisfaction of…

If you are as busy as a bee, are you as smart as one?
There are three ways to make profit: gross margin, expense control and productivity. I’ll bet your CFO has the first two all sewed up. And the third one? I’ll bet again that he or she can’t give you a straight answer on how to raise it. That is because they are better at things like numbers, inventory, assets, than intangible things…
