Taking It to Work: Our Father in Heaven is pleased to see His reflection in us. That reflection is not just one of love, grace and mercy, but one of inner strength. When we look at the life of Jesus, we remember the stories of His love, grace and mercy, and we also remember the great stand against Satan in Read more
Taking It to Work: Our relationship with an all-knowing God gives us access to His great counseling Spirit. There is no problem too hard in our life, including our work life, that He can’t help us with. We have been taught that, right? He is the Lord of our life, and much of our life is spent in the workplace. Read more
Taking It to Work: Our culture loves a superhero, one who can muscle through adversity, defeat resistance from all sides, and make sure the bad guys get it in the end.

Tuesday He spoke, purposely, but not-so-clearly, to his disciples about the end times. He emphasized being prepared.

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”?

Taking It to Work: It is a common human desire to be better than others. From the earliest of years in school, we run hard to be the fastest on the playground, smartest in our class, or best at our sport. We compare muscles, height, hair, grades and, at least among the boys, we try to show ourselves stronger, quicker Read more
Taking It to Work: If you are a true follower of Jesus, you have a source of light in you that is beyond any of this earth.
