March 10th – Solid Standing
Taking It to Work: We all know what it means when someone, “takes a stand,” or when you have to, “stand your ground,” for something right or honorable. Even as a kid when dad tells you to, “stand up for your sister,” you know what that means. Unflinching, unfaltering, unwavering, […]

March 9th – Blessed to be a Blessing

March 6th – Wait, There’s More!

March 5th – Identifying Sheep
Taking It to Work: So, what does a true Christ-follower look like? How would you know one if you were to meet one? I have met many who claim Jesus as their Savior, but don’t seem to live a life that would convince me that He is their Lord. Many […]

March 4th – Blame Game
Taking It to Work: There are people you work with, who struggle terribly. Some struggle by their own repeated mistakes, some from possible enemy attack, but many more than we realize suffer through times of trial because we have a loving Father. How so? Think about your past. What times […]

March 2nd – Non-Consumable

February 27th – Can’t You See?
Taking It to Work: When I think back to before the Lord pulled me out of my pre-Christian life, I am astounded of how blind I was to so many things. I did things that were blatantly wrong from my perspective now, that I justified as good and right back […]

February 25th – Your Honor

February 24th – A Fool’s Game
Taking It to Work: There’s a great book on my shelf by John Ortberg called, “When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box.” What a great title and great reminder of the truth of today’s devotional. One of the world’s most popular board games, launched in […]

February 23rd – Let’s Get Together
Taking It to Work: We were all taught that one-plus-one is two. But when it comes to God’s designs, in so many places, one-plus-one yields much more than two. Take for instance your hands. What you can build with two hands working together in half an hour, far exceeds what […]

February 20th – The Long Haul
Taking It to Work: One of the most common questions from believers and non-believers alike, is, “Why does a loving God allow suffering?” There is a Biblical answer to that, but it can be very hard to listen to, especially if you are in the midst of some kind of […]

February 19th – Listen Up

Taking It to Work: Ready for a tough one? At least this is a tough one for me, and I don’t think I’m alone. First, a little background that you already know. In our natural state, without Christ, we live for ourselves, the people we care about, and we work […]

February 16th – Fear Getting Fired?
Taking It to Work: There were some incredibly hard choices made by men and women in our Bible, but maybe because we have heard the stories so many times before, the choices don’t come across so incredible . . . but indeed they were. Think of the story of those […]

February 13th – Fear Must Bow to Faith
Taking It to Work: Can fear and true faith exist together? That sounds like a loaded question doesn’t it? If we say we don’t fear, we know that’s not true, but does admitting we have fear show our faith in God is not true, or strong, or real? Should I […]

February 12th – Godly Leading
Taking It to Work: I have been on some good teams, and on some pretty poor teams. I have actually lead some pretty poor teams, especially in my early days. Looking back, many of the mistakes I made leading people were the same ones that can easily occur in raising […]
