Institutions matter. But we often view them somewhat cynically, perhaps as a necessary evil. In truth, institutions remain essential to human flourishing. They are the very means by which communities thrive, individual vocations are fulfilled, and society is changed for the good. We all must learn the wisdom of working effectively within institutions-what Gordon Smith calls institutional intelligence. In this book Smith unlocks the essential elements of how institutions function in a productive, healthy manner. Focusing on the nonprofit sector, he shows how team leaders, directors, executives, board members, key stakeholders, and employees can avoid what is often their greatest source of stress on the job-working with the institutional character of their organizations. Church staff, educators, and those in service agencies can all thrive by understanding these dynamics instead of fighting against them. By developing institutional intelligence, we and those around us can not only flourish personally but also fulfill a larger mission.

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is King of all the earth; sing ye praises with understanding, (Psalm 47:6-7). Throughout the Bible there are songs. Some are songs of celebration and hope while others express despair or humility and still others recount God's redemption. Songs lift our hearts and minds, writes James Reapsome. They powerfully convey truth poetically and musically. God commands us to love him totally and exclusively with the union of our emotion, intellect, and will. That's why he included songs when he inspired the words of the Bible. Taken together these songs reveal our humanity before God and the glory and grace of life in him. This nine-session LifeGuide(R) Bible Study explores several biblical songs from both the Old and New Testaments.
