In the financial services industry, risk management involves assessing and quantifying business risks, then taking measures to control or reduce them. Risk management is necessary and a logical part of any business, church or even household finances.
As a pastor I am particularly cognizant that the business I manage is God’s and I must continually practice good stewardship of His property and resources. Ministry is unique to business in that many times we are required to take a step of faith . . . and in many cases that may not seem logical. In order to follow God’s will we take a step that may require risk. I have heard it said that Faith is sometimes spelled R-I-S-K.
Sometimes our impossibilities in life seem like a mountain too tall to climb. These are place there in order to build your faith in the one who can enable you to ascend to the peak. Faith requires action. Faith requires belief. Faith requires confidence that God is God and He specializes in the impossible. Faith in God is the best risk management I know.
Welcome to REV'D
As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.
Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.
Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.
