Treating Our Tasks as from God
Once we change bosses [from men to Christ], we are to obey our earthly bosses “just as we would obey Christ” (Eph 6:5). Even though our tasks are dictated by others, we are to treat them as if they come directly from the throne of God. Then we become “like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from our heart” (Eph. 6:6). Get Your Free e-Book HereWant to learn more on what the Bible says about...

A Community Transformed

In essence, it's because we live our lives in compartments. Like sections of the newspaper, our lives divide neatly into categories. There's the business side of life, the people section, sports, travel, and...
On Holy Ground!
"Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths." (Psalm 25:4) The deepest activity of God all the way through the Bible is in the marketplace. God takes up residence in His people, and then functions through His people in the world. The difficulty is that the marketplace is not encountering God in the lives of His people as it ought to.

Guilt and the Working Mom
I cuddled my five-month-old firstborn, wishing she were awake, wishing the evening were longer. She slept as only a baby can, her soft breath caressing my neck. I wished I could coo to her, watch her smile, laugh, drool — anything. It was 7 p.m. She had done...
Work Is Not Cursed
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (Genesis 2:15) Let's clear up a common misunderstanding and hopefully change some thinking. Have you ever heard of work being referred to as "cursed"? Have you ever viewed your...
What’s That Bible Doing On Your Desk?
As a young executive, I remember my dad telling me: "I don't trust anyone who has a bible on their desk at the office." I was immediately ready for an argument. How could he be so cynical? Weren't these people being a "good witness?" I asked him why he felt so...
