Last week my main point was that your work matters to God because people matter to God. This is truth that every Christians needs to embrace. After all, if God’s not work through you during the 53% of your life that you spend…

            Americans spend between 30-60 hours a week at work, whether it’s as a student, at home or in the marketplace. That’s upwards of 53% of our awake hours. What’s more is that those are the best 53% of our awake hours–the best 53% of our lives. So the big question is: Does our work…

            Do you remember how Jesus said others were going to be able to tell that we were genuinely his followers? By how we love one another.
