John C. Maxwell

A few months ago I purchased an NKJV of the bible.  It is called  The Maxwell Leadership Bible, Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God by John C. Maxwell.
I normally study and read from a King James Version of the bible, but occasionally will use the NIV also.  The reason I bought the Leadership version is because I have watched John be interviewed many times and have been blessed by his insight of leadership principles.  I have not read all his comments included in this bible yet, but I am reading them along with areas that I am studying at the moment.  So far I have been blessed by the notes I have read so I thought I would post for anyone who would like to check it out.
LifeWay has an ereader version available. Click here to access .  The ereader copy is in NIV format.  You can purchase a briefcase edition or hardback copy at several stores and online.

Description from LifeWay:
The Leadership expert, John Maxwell, brings an in-depth look at God's laws for leaders and leadership.
God has shown us in the Bible the time-tested and irrefutable principles of leadership. John C. Maxwell has assembled these biblical teachings to equip and encourage leaders and those who serve with them to meet the challenges of the 21st century. This revised and updated edition presents John's latest refinements of these principles. 
Features include: 
  • 2 New Laws - Law of Addition and the Law of Picture
  • New major articles and new notes throughout the Bible that connect with the new Laws
  • New notes that reflect Maxwell's works since the Feb 2002 release of the "Maxwell Leadership Bible," including "The 360 Leader," "Talent Is Never Enough," "25 Ways to Win with People," and "The Difference Maker"
  • Revised indexes to the 21 Laws of Leadership and the 21 Qualities of a Leader
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The study of God's word is imperative to lead successfully.  God has equipped us to lead and has given us the principles in His word. Studying to show ourselves approved is wise and necessary.

2 Timothy 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

~Debbie 


I am studying in 2 Timothy chapter 1 right now and one of the leadership comments was in reference to God equipping us.  This is an excerpt from page 1508, The Law of Empowerment:  God Gives Us What We Need to Lead
"God gave Timothy (and us!) everything needed to accomplish the job.  He empowers us before He ever expects from us.  He gives before He demands.  We receive His competence before we receive His commands."  -John C. Maxwell

If God asked you a question, what would it be?

I find myself on a busy day sending a quick note or quick question for needed information to those that I know. I never really considered how often I ask a question. Being a fairly practical person I want to get an answer and bring any subject to completion when dealing with business. But relationships don't happen that way. And that is the difficult part! There are so many nuances and reasons why people do what they do. And usually they do not give a second thought to any of this! Well, I believe we need too! Have you ever tried to work on a puzzle where one of the pieces is missing or there is a piece that almost fits, but, not quite? Ugh! This will send me to my knees. Literally. Where is that piece? That's the way I feel at times dealing with people who make me look for the missing piece in a relationship and look and look and look. This train of thought was brought about by mulling over some personal issues. Well, like I said...I like completion. So my thoughts were twirl

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam

Realigned Focus

Image
At times strength arrives in drops of liquid peace as I worship. Arms extended, heart submitted upward I reach to be cradled by the strong arms of peace that sustain me. By God’s love that restores and renews me. Praying the Word of God will settle the waves assaulting your peace.  The Word of God will reveal the false narrative that floats you into storm filled seas. Be still and know.  Prayer can refocus us when we have been blown off course by the cares of this world and the spiritual intensity of daily life. Spend time with God. He welcomes you and delights that you are seeking Him. Prayer and worship can strengthen you in your journey here on this Earth.  Take time to be still and know that God is God .  The surrender of self to realignment will strip you of false layers, preparing you to rest in the warmth of the LORD’s peace and care. A moment of prayerful focus can realign your day or night. Why not take a moment as you are reading or listening to this to agree in prayer with m
