Taking It to Work: Where do you get your peace? What do you hunger for? I woke up the other morning and my favorite, safe-bet, low-risk stock completely tanked, 22% in one day. It reported underperformance and got hit with a lawsuit on the same day. I’m not going to lie; it shook me. In our culture, and most cultures Read more…
Taking It to Work: Talking about our faith at work can be very intimidating, especially talking with those who are not yet Christians. I say not yet, because it is very likely that some of those non-believers are being drawn to the Father, and will at some later time answer His call. The thing to remember is ‘sometimes’.

Taking It to Work: I once played a game where I was blindfolded and had to be led around like I was blind. It is hard to imagine that some have to live that way – no light, just total darkness all the time. I often think about if I had been born blind, and never saw an image of Read more…

Taking It to Work: How many notifications do you get a day? Instagram, Facebook, email, Signal, Snapchat? The list goes on and on, and is ever growing. Never before in the history of mankind, have we had the ability to communicate at this speed and at this level. It’s incredible when you stop and think of it. In a blink Read more…
Taking It to Work: Could you imagine what would happen if some of the key players in the government were to be saved and started following the Holy Spirit’s lead, in voting, making policy, and truly living out their faith at those high positions?

Taking It to Work: To be a “servant” holds very little value in our society, and less in many societies before us. In fact, I’m not sure I know of any cultures where the most esteemed people are the servants, except for the Christian culture.

Taking it to Work: What do you want to be when you grow up? That has got to be one of the most common questions posed in the early years of life. When my boys were little they loved when the garbage truck would come each week. Not so much to see the truck, but to see the man of Read more…
Taking It to Work: Remember Clark Kent, aka Superman? Well, even when disguised as a mild-mannered reporter, he never forgot that he had a bigger job than just working at the Daily Planet.
