Wise Men Bring the Gift of Work >
A business executive asks himself, "Does God care about my profit margins and cash flow statements on Monday as much as he cares about my offering on Sunday?"
Where's Your Church? >
Christ, the Church, is there when we say an encouraging word to someone in the next office, serve a personal need of someone working alongside us.
Open Your Eyes and Listen >
Listening is difficult because most of us are too busy speaking. God, on the other hand, listens generously to us, and He listens as we rattle on and on. The 20th century Christian martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, "God shows his love for us in not…

Are You Dressed for Success? >
In our work, our families, our leisure, or as responsible citizens in our communities, our new uniform calls us to exemplify Christ.
The Joy of an Ordinary Christmas >
Smell of hay, a newborn's cry, makeshift crib, anxious first-time parents away from family and friends—uncertain and confusing times, politically and personally. These were the ordinary circumstances for the most extraordinary event ever. In a cave…
Lip Service, Life Service >
Let your living spill over into thanksgiving . . .
Col. 2:6-7, The Message

An Encouraging Word >
In the mid 1970s, radio airwaves were full of Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle, a haunting ballad of an out-of-sync father and son who never manage to spend time together. Years after I became a father, those lyrics were the source of a personal…

Working in the Image—and the Presence >
The creation story says that humankind was created in God's image and immediately assigned a task: "Let them have dominion" (Gen. 1:26–28). Human creatures received responsibility and resources. The Creator invited the creature into a partnership to…
God's Work, Our Work >
From the beginning of scripture to the end, from the Bible's first chapter through the last, God is at work to create and recreate. From the beginning, God invites us humans to join him as co-creators, managers, and agents of renewal.

Competition: Healthy or Unhealthy? Constructive or Destructive? >
Competition is a fact of life, and it's everywhere you look: in athletics, business, academics, and politics.
LET'S ROLL: Risk Taking—For Life! >
Those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake and the gospel, will save it. (Luke 9:24)
Todd Beamer's last recorded words, "Let's Roll," have become a rallying cry for those…
First Things First >
God in the flesh lived personal sacrifice to the point of death on a cross. He lived personal service to the point of washing the disciples' feet at the Lord's Supper. That act of humility was followed by these words: "If I, your Lord and teacher,…
What Does God Want? >
The everyday life of faith ultimately is pretty simple and straightforward stuff—simple, not necessarily easy. While there are many complex nuances of thoughtful reflection and application of Christian faith to each person's everyday life, at the beginning…
Whatever You Do, Do It Well >
The Apostle Paul concludes his list of Christian attributes, a mini Book of Virtues, with this: "Whatever work you may have to do, [in speech or action,] do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him." (Col. 3:17 Phillips)
