What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
Matthew 16:26

Helping people take hold of the deeper priorities of life is something I do in a seminar exercise called, “Below the Bottom Line.” Everyone is given a blank sheet of paper.

Years ago I heard a wonderful illustration of what it means to be “real.” Here goes: There are three types of Christians. First, there’s the TOP-OF-THE-PILE Christian. You have seen these folks. You ask them “How are you doing?” and away they go: “Top of the pile! Movin’ and groovin’ with Jesus. Growin’ and glowin’ in Him.” Really? All the time? You can’t be that way all the time, it is not realistic.

YOU, A Spiritual Leader? YES!

Dr. Parrott September 2, 2013 No Comments Bible Study brother of Les Parrott Christian author Dr. Parrott Foundation grace of God group study Jesus keynote keynote speaker leadership les parrott leslie parrott Life in Christ ministry my soul purpose Nashville First Church of the Nazarene nazarene Pastors professor Purpose Richard and Shirley Parrott Richard L Parrott richard leslie parrott richard parrott Self-understanding Small Groups social services son of A.L.

Spiritual leadership! This is a different kind of leadership, and it includes YOU. We have leaders in all segments of our world: politics, the military, education, business, business, social services, the church, etc. Now, all this “leadership” is good and I have consulted and taught leaders in all these areas. But, this is not the kind of leadership I am speaking of in this blog.

A Compassionate Person

Dr. Parrott August 30, 2013 No Comments 40 years A compassionate person author Bible Study brother of Les Parrott Christian author consultant Dr. Parrott firm foundation grace of God homes big and small Jesus keynote speaker ministry my soul purpose Nashville First Church of the Nazarene Prayer professor Richard L Parrott richard leslie parrott richard parrott Self-understanding son of A.L. Parrott son of Lora Lee Parrott soul purpose Soul-Friends speaker step into life Students Sunday School trevecca wide diversity of people

I’ve known and worked with a wide diversity of people in the last 40 years of pastoring and teaching. I’ve worked with people who lived in homes that were so big and so beautiful; frankly, it made me nervous to go inside. And, I can remember a fellow with crooked teeth and scars on his face who, every Sunday, walked from the Union Gospel Mission to sit on the second row in church.

Here is what I know: Scratch any person, and they will bleed. Everybody carries a load. I would like to put a badge on every person that reads, CAUTION! HUMAN BEING. HANDLE WITH CARE.

A Godly Person

Dr. Parrott August 29, 2013 No Comments author Being A Godly Person Bible Study brother of Les Parrott Christian author Dr. Parrott grace of God group study Life in Christ Live for God live out your values make the grade minimums and maximums Nashville First Church of the Nazarene Olivet Nazarene University professor richard leslie parrott Small Groups son of A.L. Parrott son of Leslie Parrott son of Lora Lee Parrott Soul Crisis soul purpose speaker Sr Students Sunday School trevecca

Being a Godly person. That’s a challenge. Sometimes I feel like I’m not very good at it. That’s when I have to remember that I’m not the one who makes me “a Godly person.” Jesus does the work in me; it is my challenge to cooperate with what He is doing.

A week ago, the school where I teach (Trevecca Nazarene University) celebrated the opening dinner of the school year. And, it happened to me again. An individual hurried up to meet me and in great overtures, complemented my on my exceptional skills at the piano. I quickly explained that I don’t play the piano. However, the gentleman continued thanking me for sharing my musical gift. It took two more explanations before he realized that I am not the person he thought I was. When he finally realizes the mistake, we both laughed as he explained, “You look just like him.”
