The ONE THING

The random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)

The ONE THING for today

The Boss is asking, “What do you need to create?”

Posted on September 2, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

The ONE THING for today: If I want something different, I must do something different.  Identifying the “something” and creating it will be the difference between winning and losing this month. Continue reading →

Who is bothering you?

Posted on May 27, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

There are two reasons people stop bothering you… They sense you don’t care or… They sense you are incompetent and not worth bothering. Remember, you exist to be bothered and when you stopped being bothered by people the question you should ask is, why am I here? The ONE THING for today: People are sometimes … Continue reading →

When you’re the problem

Posted on September 19, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

If you are the cause of the problem, (and trust me, you will often be), then you should also be the cause of the solution. You will fail, flub-up, and misfire, but you can’t walk away and pretend that nothing is wrong. Do what you can to clean up your mess and if you don’t … Continue reading →

And then there’s other people’s problems…

Posted on September 18, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

I once heard my good friend and master pastor, Marc Campbell, comment at a pastor’s conference: “We can get blogged down pastoring other people’s problems.” So true. People will let you solve their problems all day if you are willing. But when you are solving problems for people that they should be solving themselves, you … Continue reading →

Unequal problems

Posted on September 17, 2019 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Problems are the spice of life. Problems give you a chance to make a difference, advance in life, and succeed, for there is always a place at the table for a problem-solver. However, all problems are not equal. For starters, if the problem you are working on is about your comfort and fun, scrap it. … Continue reading →

Let problems come to you

Posted on September 16, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Don’t go looking for problems or looking to solve problems, let them come to you. By this, I do not mean to not care or to “live and let live.” By all means, be willing to step up and resolve problems and issues that require your attention. But that is the issue, most problems need … Continue reading →

Just one funeral away from things getting better

Posted on January 16, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

There is an old saying in the church world that goes like this: “Our church is just one funeral away from growing.”  Sometimes there is some truth to this.  Whether it is a church, corporation, or your clan—there is almost always some “stuck-in-the-mud” person who refuses to change and buy-in to plans for growth and … Continue reading →

Solutions

Posted on August 13, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Be someone’s solution. Problem-creators are a dime a dozen (Shoot, if you’re like me, I can create more than enough problems for myself without any help!). Most people are drowning in a sea of “journalist” (people who talk about the problem). Also you can throw in a few “theorist” (those brainy types who will talk … Continue reading →

Problems and Progress

Posted on February 27, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Remember, problem solving is not progress. Problem solving can become addictive because it provides immediate gratification (when you solve a problem you can see results). But in reality problem solving is about repairing what already is. Progress occurs when something new is created; when new territory is taken; when advancement is made. Problem solving is … Continue reading →
