May 29th – Little Light of Mine
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 […]

May 28th – Bitter Blessings
Taking It to Work: Does God allow trials in our life? Well, experientially and biblically, we know the answer is, “Yes”. We have all had them, and in the Bible we see many examples, great and small, of trials Jesus took his disciples through, as He was growing them into […]

May 27th – Your Notifications
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 […]

May 23rd – Pray for Them
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? Just a half dozen or so […]

May 22nd – To Men or Majesty
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. In fact, it seems God’s […]

May 21st – What Do You Want to Be?
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 […]

May 20th – My Super Job!
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. His mission, his assignment, his calling was meant for greater impact, and his x-ray vision and super-hearing […]

May 19th – Growing Strong
Taking It to Work: How do you look at challenges? Are they something you dread, or something you love? For most of us it can go either way. We may like a good challenge on the tennis court, softball field or golf course, and we may even like challenges at […]

May 16th – And the Winner Is . . .
Taking It to Work: There is a story told of two brothers who loved to run and race. Whatever race they entered, these two were on top. They raced in grade school, high school, and college, both winning 1st and 2nd place time and time again. But it was always […]

May 15th – Whom Shall I Send?
Taking It to Work: It’s a co-operation we have with God. Why He decided that He would give us the privilege and responsibility of shining His light to others, I will never know (at least not on this side of Heaven). It has always seemed to me that if God […]

May 14th – The Hope of Glory
Taking It to Work: Have you ever stopped to compare our lives with the lives of kings and emperors of long ago? The comforts and conveniences that we have, outdo even the great King Solomon. I always think of just a few things starting with the first letter of the […]

May 13th – Skillful Sailing School
Taking It to Work: It is said that we are either in a storm, coming out of a storm, or heading into one; experience says that’s the truth. We know now that storms of disease, isolation, and misinformation can be worldwide, affecting billions across the globe. We also know that […]

May 12th – Going His Way?
Taking It to Work: Sometimes, I think I just “know”. I remember one time checking auctions for items needed for my business. After months of looking, I found an auction that had all five of the items I was looking for. It was a slam dunk. I quickly registered for […]

May 9th – Good Listening
Taking It to Work: Are you a good listener, or do you think you are a good listener? I have to admit, when I really pay attention to my listening skills, I’m really not very good, but I also don’t think of it as a spiritual issue. I say to […]

May 8th – Moving Up
Taking It to Work: We have a choice at work – either strive to impress our boss, co-workers and customers, in hopes of a raise or being promoted, or we can simply strive to give our best effort to please our Lord and to truly help those we serve. If […]

May 7th – Patient Training
Taking It to Work: I was a pretty tough father. I wanted to give my kids the best start in life that I could give them, and I decided early on that I was not going to forgo discipline, even though I knew I was not going to enjoy it. […]

May 6th – Working Together
Taking It to Work: Our God is capable of all things. When we put faith in His capabilities, and faith in His willingness to use those capabilities on our behalf, we have the Biblical definition of a faith that pleases God, and a faith that can move mountains. Most of […]

May 5th – Peace Be Still
Taking It to Work: There’s a story told about a famous tightrope walker named Tipsy, who was planning to walk across the expanse of the Grand Canyon while pushing a fully loaded wheelbarrow. “I’m nervous,” he said to his biggest fan. “Nonsense Tipsy!” said the fan. “You are the greatest […]

May 2nd – Limelight or Godlight?
Taking it to Work: It is said, “Conceit is a disease that makes everyone sick, except for the carrier.” We have all met those in our lives who have that disease, especially at work, those who are self-focused, self-serving, always wanting the limelight. On the other hand, we have met […]

May 1st – Are You A Phinehas
Taking It to Work: When I was sixteen, the Lord arranged that my first full-time job was one with a small air-conditioning company where my boss and his wife were practicing Christians. In retrospect, I’d say she practiced it a lot better than he did, but for a young man […]
