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 our Christian walk is spent developing and implementing that kind Read more…
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 tightrope walker ever! You’re going to do great and amaze Read more…
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 those who have even better skill sets, higher titles, and Read more…
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.

Taking It to Work: There is a common path that God has put most of us on, that often we don’t see clearly. It involves three very top-level steps that are so large and long in duration, that they don’t even feel connected. Let’s call them school, work life, and True Life. School we all get. It is to prepare Read more…

Now that sounds harsh, but I have experienced it time and time again. Good, God-honoring men and women will promise to do something by a certain date, and well, sometimes you don’t even hear from them. Read more…
Taking It to Work: Yesterday we said it is okay to take on more than we can handle alone, as long as know His strength and guidance is with us.

Taking It to Work: How often have we said, “I just can’t handle this!”? Have you ever had the crisis of faith that comes with not understanding how a loving God could let such calamity into your life, wondering why it has to be so tough sometimes? We have all experienced these trying times in our lives; sometimes with work Read more…
Taking It to Work: As true Christians, we hate the “four letter words” that are fast becoming commonplace in our rapidly degrading culture. In 1939, not all that long ago, it was a public uproar that the word “damn” was released in a motion picture to the public.

Taking It to Work: We, even as Christ-followers, are so easily tricked into thinking that the end game is just enjoying life in security and comfort.
