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.

Taking It to Work: The most difficult thing, and arguably the most critical thing, about living out our life as a Christian is actually having a real, working faith.

Taking It To Work: Omnipotence. It means all powerful. Not just very powerful, it means possessing and having at His disposal all existent power.
