When Should We Ignore Tradition?
In a recent column I noted that tradition is not self-contained or absolute. It’s complex, so that superior, subordinate, and parallel traditions often come into conflict.

Pastors: Why Your Local Influence is More Essential than a National Platform
Many church leaders manage both local influence and a national platform.

Bible Teacher's Guide: Nehemiah--Becoming A Godly Leader
It is no surprise that when we look at many of our national and local elections, we often find ourselves not voting for a person we want but voting for the lesser of evils. The world is in a leadership crisis, and the answer is not more training or more education. The answer is God. God is the ultimate leader and the reproducer of leaders. In fact, Scripture declares that there is no authority but that which comes from God (Romans 13:1). Leadership…
