Yesterday I was blessed to get to hear Art Williams speak. He was on the campus of Regent University
to be a guest on the 700 Club and agreed to speak to a small group of students for about an hour who had RSVP’ed ahead of time. I was one of them. Art was a high school football coach who won seven straight national championships and then he started his own life insurance company. Focusing on only one product—term life—within just a few years A. L. Williams was the #1 life insurance company in the world with over $300 billion in assets. Art Williams is a Christian who is a devoted husband and father, a best-selling author and quite the motivational speaker. His simple, persistent message is: “Winners do it until it’s done.” His favorite answer to “How do I…?” questions is “You just do it.”
So maybe it’s time for us to stop saying, “When this happens, I’ll start doing it,” or “If I could only have this, then I could do that,” or “If I only had more time,” or “I’d like to do this, but…,” and simply commit it to the Lord and with His help and a winner’s spirit, do it! Hmmm! That does have kind of a biblical ring doesn’t it? “I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:13, NKJV).
Grace and peace,
Mike
