These days it is fashionable to write in a certain way
speak in a certain way, and behave in a certain way; and
the mantra is, that will bring you success. This is the
repeat Parrot system that is do dangerous that it is
almost too scary to be written about. Does that tell
you how frightening repetition and duplication are?
Here is why- when you replicate someone else when it
comes to success, you stop what is essentially you-
and you become what is essentially – their success.
The very real danger is, you will never achieve the
success that was possible in you, you won’t ever see it.

The very real danger of duplicating someone else when
it comes to the delicate area of success- it will be
limited to what they had achieved, diminished from what
was possible for you; and here is the strongest harm-
it is exponentially harmful as you advertise “follow me!”
Real leaders don’t duplicate, they don’t replicate, they
are people who have the inner character not to. Leaders
are tough but not tough, loving but not too loving,
kind but not too kind, understanding but not too far
gone in understanding minutiae. Leaders don’t duplicate
because they have a vision which won’t allow them
to track along a path which has been trodden upon
before, as most today are familiar with the poem,
by Frost, that “Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I— I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.” Click

The ads, suggestions, books, public speaking, and
even so called collegiate education these days, does
not emphasize being your own person; instead, the folks
who have been given the responsibility to lead out to
new shores, aren’t interested in that, they are rather
interested in folks who will follow what they say.
This lockstep group-think mentality is not only
dangerous, it is costly. To measure the cost of this
lack of internal growth and character, look at the
growth in crime and associated criminal activities?
Every year crime increases, criminal activity
increases; this shows clearly that those who want
to institute follower-ship rather than character
and individuality; are creating a gigantic monster
which will consume the very core of the nation
which allows it to fester, and that nation is
unfortunately; America. We decry the lack of leadership,
and yet, almost all of our current leaders in the
Senate and House, are law school graduates? Tell
you anything about the type of education which says
not to step too far out of line? Look at the
types of laws which these leaders are putting
together? You will find measured, poll successful
ideas, but will you find daring visionary laws?

So the absolute two words for success, which
when they are missing will guarantee that a person
won’t reach the level of success possible had they
been present, are…

Fidelity and Victory.

When it comes the subject of fidelity, is it
possible to find a more refined thinker on the
subject, than Shakespeare? Recently, the very
ethic of fidelity has been challenged. In
postcolonial critics’ eyes, faithful translations
of the towering figure in the English-language
literary canon risk reinforcing the global
hegemony of Anglo-American culture.
(From a must read article linked in here)!

You have undoubtedly heard the quotation which
it seems most aptly applies to victory, but let’s have
a little fun with the comments section and see if
you can nail the source of the quote? Here it is:
“There is no substitute for victory”

And indeed there isn’t!

Remarkable moments – do you sense them? The flashing bye
of life, where one moment is significant? Do you have a
sense that the moment is? To be clear this is the moment
when you see the person you’re going to marry? This is
the moment when you know your life direction, perhaps,
for the first time? This is the moment where you know
what your life is about? Now that you know what moment
we are talking about, have you had it, or some of them?

This week we’re going to deal with the toughest of all
subjects, judging, what it means, why and how we do so,
and, should we or should we not? You see, many Christians,
are not only confused about this, but believe, falsely,
that the Bible teaches against judging. The truth is,
Jesus said that judging was serious, should be taken
seriously, but shouldn’t be ignored. Quickly then,
let’s connect the spiritual worshipful, to the subject-
as tomorrow we will deal with the scripture more
thoroughly, consider these scriptural statements:

Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you;
good measure, pressed down, and shaken together,
and running over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again.

Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again.

So this day let us pray that we shall get the
matter of judgment into our core spiritual nature
and after this weeks review, my belief is you will
not only be a better judge, but you will get the
character concept of God which comes through
His pronouncements about this highly important
part of what it means to be in touch with Him.
