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…

            Because of their faith, Peter told the early Christ followers that they were like exiles and foreigners (1Peter 1).

            We’re always looking for a better investment with greater returns. It doesn’t necessarily mean we’re all greedy, in fact, it just makes sense. We want to make the most of what we’ve got for the sake of the future. We ought to take the same approach to our marriage–our most…

            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. Sure, loving the world and serving people is important, but in John 13:35, Jesus said that how we love the other followers of his is how everyone will know we are his…
