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 you could do with only one in an hour. The Read more
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 suffering that seems out of your control. We might not Read more
Taking It to Work: Some of us are carrying quite a load in the workplace. Many of us just have too much work to do, pressing deadlines, and very difficult responsibilities.

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?

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 and guiding children. In fact, in many ways, leading in Read more
Taking It to Work: Being a person of The Word, and being a person of your word, has a very strong connection.

Taking It to Work: As a believer in the workplace, we mingle daily with many who have heard the Good News, but for a myriad of reasons, have rejected God’s invitation (thus far).
