Taking It to Work: Who do you work with that, “rubs you the wrong way”? Maybe they are bossy, loud, or lazy. Maybe they are arrogant, rude or vulgar. Whatever the case might be, they also may be future brothers or sisters in Christ whom God wants to extend grace, through you! We have to remember that we all rubbed Read more…
Taking It to Work: I don’t know if this is Christ-like, but I love this guy, Mark Rober on YouTube. He puts packages on people’s porches as bait for these crooked thieves, known as Porch Pirates, who routinely steal other people’s packages from outside their homes. Mark very professionally and ingeniously puts mechanisms in the package that once the package Read more…
Taking It to Work: The TRUTH of God’s Word is mighty. For centuries, actually for millennia, the ungodly have feared the truth in the pages of our Bible, and that same truth when it’s on our lips. History shows, it is the truth of God that changes lives, displaces error, disarms enemies, and releases God’s power into the world. If Read more…
Taking It to Work: In general, it is not until later in life that a son or daughter will truly appreciate what was done for them when they lived at home with their parents – Mom’s lasagna, Dad’s help with fixing things, family vacations, new school clothes, free A/C and heat, clean sheets and a refrigerator that seemed to fill Read more…

There is also an art to knowing when we should share, and when it is prudent not to, even if the truth would theoretically help the situation. The Bible says, Read more…
Taking It to Work: How many times have you said to yourself, “I want to be stronger in my spiritual walk; I want to grow”? We all desire it, but we have all experienced times in our lives when we let our time with God, which brings about a huge part of that growth, fall to the wayside. Our daily Read more…
Taking It to Work: What did you have to do to get good at your job? If you’re like most of us, you had to put time into honing your skills. That may have been through education, a trade school or college, or it may have been just years of on the job training. Regardless, those years of dedication, your Read more…
Taking It to Work: Before FCCI, I remember I had a desire to talk about my faith at work, as I felt bad for the good men and women I worked with who were living life without any thought of God. But I was fearful, not only of rejection, but also because I really didn’t know how far I could Read more…
Taking It to Work: There is an old saying, that we should, “bloom where we are planted.” Although not a direct quote from the Bible, I do believe the Bible supports the concept.
