Taking It to Work: The message today may seem more personal in nature than workplace oriented, speaking more directly to the true position of our heart with God than maybe our disposition at work.

Taking It to Work: It seems that there is an art to living peaceably with others. There is also an art to sharing truth with others in a non-offensive way.

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”?
