1. A keen mind.

3. Sense of possibility.

1. Keen mentality…..these are people who notice the stuff most people miss. They easily see patterns.
2. Deft touch….by this they know what each situation requires. They are masters at knowing which skills to apply. It is the opposite of the old adage if you have a hammer you think every problem is a nail. These folks know when to use a wrench. And things happens when they put their hands to the task.
3. Sense of possibility….. they create anticipation in every situation and in every group they are a part of.

I think this is the case often in ministry as well. Those who’s personalities modulate somewhere in the middle wil lhave the greatest impact. Extroversion allows the leader to reach out and impact others. Introversion always one to listen to the real needs of those you are trying to impact.

Most people are inclined toward one extreme or the other. But those leaders who know when to introvert and when to extrovert impact more people.

Paul 12:1— we are living sacrifices. Sacrifices not to satisfy God. But sacrifices for the sake of those he loves. Us.

The book I am reading is Christ’s Alternative to Communism. And I am re-reading is book titled – Unshakable Kingdom – Unchanging Person. Both books dramatize in thought the power of the Kingdom of God.

As i re-read Jones i find why i am not comfortable with the Democratic party nor the Republican Parry. And I am certainly not a marxist. I do not believe the state can solve the core issues the world faces to be humane and effective. It never has and never will. It can definitely solve many problems but not the core ones that trip us up. Human laziness and selfishness for just a couple. And Darwinian capitalism is no less benign from my view point. And I should add E. Stanley Jones.

If the church were promoting the Kingdom of God rather than getting its political identity form parties far from God we would have greater impact.

I think it is a Kingdom perspective that business owners would to business not just to give to their church nor for profit only but also to give people jobs and increase the level of living for their employees. This is a good thing. We either sing up for darwinian capitalism or we align with the sentimentalism of socialism. We see business as the way we can pay for churches or an evil entity.

What if a man or woman called into business saw their call to provide a product to make life better for humanity in order to honor God? Wouldn’t things be different. What if businesses were loyal to their personnel? I think these are kingdom perspectives.

The Kingdom can be affirmed and encouraged by government and ti will change society permanently and better than the state could ever imagine. We are seeing in our day a wide open door for the Kingdom of God to expand.

Do all he good you can,
By al the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all times you can,
to all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
