Taking It to Work: So, what does a true Christ-follower look like? How would you know one if you were to meet one? I have met many who claim Jesus as their Savior, but don’t seem to live a life that would convince me that He is their Lord. Many are involved in church, and can tell you how old Read more
Taking It to Work: There are people you work with, who struggle terribly. Some struggle by their own repeated mistakes, some from possible enemy attack, but many more than we realize suffer through times of trial because we have a loving Father. How so?

Taking It to Work: There’s a great book on my shelf by John Ortberg called, “When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box.” What a great title and great reminder of the truth of today’s devotional. One of the world’s most popular board games, launched in 1935, is the game of Monopoly. I was born in Read more
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.
