Management

Last week I attended a course on Foundational Management for my employer, which was a great experience. I got to meet many people from the business side of things, and had some interesting conversations about their day-to-day work and their technology needs.
I think all of us were energised by the course and inspired to become better managers.

One of the key ideas around management is that you should be able to get the work done through other people. Thinking about Christ Jesus our Lord/Manager, His strategy is the same: to get His work of bringing souls to Himself done by us; we are His hands and feet. In dependence upon the Holy Spirit, may we seek in every way to please our heavenly Master to this end.

Prayer Meeting - CBD South

This morning I attended an "inaugural" men's prayer meeting under the auspices of the Christian Business Men's Association (CBMA) and City Bible Forum (CBF). It is a joint venture using the experience of CBMA and the resources of CBF, specifically the Evangelistic Prayer Team (EPT) booklets.
The Vision of CBF is: Under God, we long to present the good news of Jesus Christ to every worker in every major business district of Australia so that they may respond in repentance and faith and be established in the fellowship of believers.

Such a vision will only remain a vision without the commitment to regular prayer and subsequent action (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) in witnessing to our work colleagues with the glorious Gospel.
This initiative is exciting and important if Christians are to "seek the welfare of the city" a la Jeremiah 29:7. I commend it to you.
