Digg it UP - Misquoted Bible Verses or Misused Bible Verses – Which is Worse
It happens more often than you’d ever guess – in fact, it might be happening at the booth right next to yours. Recent surveys of trade show attendees show that the most dissatisfied attendees are those who purchase something that they really didn’t want. Needless to say, these attendees don’t have a high opinion of those companies that ‘strong-armed’ them, and report that they’ll be unlikely to do business with them again.How can this happen? What possible way is there to force attendees into purchasing something unwillingly?Not all the ‘people pleasers’ at a trade show are booth staff. Some are walking the aisle, as attendees. When these types run into an overly-forward, persistant salesperson, they can be bullied into a purchase. That’s not the way you want to do business.Instead, train your team to have a needs-focused approach. By engaging attendees in conversation, questioning and listening more than talking, and truly focusing on solving the attendee’s problems, you are far more likely to make a sale the attendee is satisfied with.Key to this is five questions, the

You're probably familiar with e-mail signature (or "sig") files -- they're the few lines of contact information that many of us put at the bottom of every e-mail we send. Most e-mail software programs allow you to create and use sig files -- even AOL.I've heard some people who don't use sig files defend their position by saying, "All my clients know my info -- I don't need to remind them with every e-mail." Stop! You're missing a perfect opportunity to promote your business, as well as do your clients and prospects a favor.When you think about how many e-mails you actually send a day, it's probably more than you realized! Some people send over 100 a day. That's a lot of mail -- and a lot of chances to slip in your own subtle marketing messages.Sig Files Put You at Their FingertipsPeople love it when you make information easy to find. Sure, your clients have your phone number somewhere, but they'll really appreciate it when they can grab your number right from an e-mail they're looking at. In fact, e-mail is such a part of our lives now, that if someone needs your
"Never Take a Scripture Verse Out Of Context"
This clich? is often used when we are trying to establish whether a teaching or doctrine we've heard is true. It is often used to pinpoint the errors of the cults and the so-called pseudo-Christian religions.
The truth is that it is often necessary to take a verse out of its context to convey its most basic meaning. To include the verse preceding or following some verses would tend to cloud their truest meaning in literally hundreds of instances. The scriptures for the most part are not written in a narrative form. This is especially true of the New Testament epistles. A few examples are as follows... In Proverbs 11: 28-30 are three verses that are totally unrelated. If we were to be emphasizing the necessity of keeping peace in the home verse twenty-nine would be a good verse to use.

In light of the high street outlets offering better deals than the networks, exactly where should we be looking for the best mobile phone deals? As soon as something closes in your High Street or shopping centre you can be almost certain that a few short weeks later it will reopen as a mobile phone shop. Such is the proliferation of mobile phones in recent years that we have created a distinct retail industry within the last ten years. Business is clearly booming for everyone concerned with the mobile phone market – the networks, manufacturers and retailers all have their eye on our wallet the very moment our existing contract expire. The problem for consumers is that with an increased market size come increased consumer choice and finding the best deal becomes increasingly complicated. The networks themselves and the ubiquitous mobile phone shops offer a multitude of combinations of packages, handsets and incentives all of which seem to conflict with one another and before long you end up in a confused mire of free minutes, text messages, accessories and special offer gif

Over the last 5 or so years, there seems to be an ever-increasing number of organisations that are creating a new role in the corporate office: the Performance Measurement Officer. Actually, the title of this role varies from organisation to organisation, and where exactly in the organisation structure that role is placed also varies.Titles for performance measure facilitator positions have included Performance Measurement Officer, Performance Measurement Director, Manager Performance Measurement, Corporate Planning and Performance Reporting Officer, Corporate Performance Management Coordinator and Manager Planning and Performance.Most often the person in this role of performance measure facilitator will be associated with the corporate planning team, but they are also associated sometimes with the information services team or even somewhere in the human resources department.The one thing that is consistent, however, is the thing this person is responsible for: to facilitate the design, reporting and use of performance information in decision making about organisational results

If you've been involved in SEO (search engine optimization) for a while, you may remember the time when you could create a web page and get it ranked at the top of any search engine with little effort.All you had to do was load up the page with the keywords you wanted to rank high for, make sure your meta tags were stuffed with those same keywords, submit the page and within a few days or weeks you've captured a top 20 or even top 10 result.The major search engines were pretty easy to figure out. Some focused on the first 90 characters on a page, others gave more weight to the title tag in your HTML, another paid more attention to the overall content and finally some used a combination of factors to determine a page's rank. And if you were a search engine expert, you knew which engine looked for what information.Back then, you didn't get penalized much for keyword stuffing, hidden text, and some of the other tactics that can get you into trouble in today's world.The bottom line is search engine optimization for the average webmaster was almost like a cakewalk years ago.

Bad credit can happen to anyone. The road of life contains many potholes, including divorce, unemployment, illness and unexpected medical expenses. The good news is that even if your credit is less than perfect, you can still buy a home.There are many mortgage products available from a variety of lenders today. One of them is almost guaranteed to work in your situation. Don’t assume that just because your credit is less than perfect, you won’t qualify for a mortgage. Sit down and talk with several lenders about the options available to you. They will offer suggestions on how to improve your credit rating and qualify for the best mortgage. Often, they’ll have a mortgage product that’s right for you.What do we mean by damaged credit? Well, that can include late payments, accounts that went to collection, judgments, tax liens or even bankruptcies. For many borrowers with damaged credit, a sub-prime mortgage is the best bet.Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—the two major players in the mortgage field – have versions of sub-prime loans that are usually available through traditional le
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. (Proverbs 11:29)
Verses twenty-eight and thirty have absolutely nothing to do with keeping peace in the home. We are forced to extricate or disengage the verse from its context to gain the fullest use of it. We can carry our example still a step further to illustrate the weakness of the clich?. The first sentence of verse twenty-nine is separated from the second by a colon. The second sentence is in no way thematically connected to the first. In order to get the greatest impact from this verse if we were stressing the idea of peace in the home it would be necessary not only to remove the verse from the context of the passage but we would be forced to split up the verse and leave part of it out altogether. Hundreds of Bible verses are found in similar complexity
Subject matter changes so frequently in the New Testament that it becomes necessary to remove a whole passage from its context to gain the full meaning of it. The weakness of this clich? is perhaps best seen in the sayings of the Lord himself. He was notorious for dangling quoted verses in mid air without supportive contextual inclusions.
Many times Jesus would say, "It is written" or "Have ye never read" and quote a single verse taken right out of its context. He made no apologies for not including the preceding or following verses and the effect of his single verse sayings often stopped the mouths of his enemies or illustrated a great principle to his followers. Sometimes the verses he quoted were taken from texts that originally had nothing to do with the subject he was dealing with. Such is the case where Jesus was criticized by the Pharisees for accepting the praise
