Keep Your Walk Simple: But, Don't be Simple.

Proverbs 9:6; (NIV) Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.

Any learning that leaves out God, is foolish – it's the simple (think simpleton) way.

A Christian leader (or any person) must adopt a worldview that is totally integrated with God's revelation and man's knowledge of life– it defines walking in the “way of understanding.” That walk includes unifying our public/private, sacred/secular lives and gaining spiritual power.

Truth is not subject to man’s rules about discourse and debate. Understanding the principles of Truth is vital since many business decisions are not clearly legal or illegal; rather, they often demand leaders thinking about which of the ethically correct paths that should be followed - and that takes understanding and a clear focus on the Truth. Sometimes we cannot clearly see down the path: following God's lead is a walk of Faith and not sight.

This faith walk begins with "knowing God" and that results from feasting at the table of His Word, filling his time with pray, and fulfilling the mandate (from James) to have transparent relationships with Godly people.

You got “walk?”
