“Oh, so you’re going to Vegas? Sin City!?! Well, be careful!!” I just smile and nod every time. But the statement makes me wonder at times. I understand the idea, of course- that when people are surrounded by a lot of temptation, it’s very easy to become someone different and make choices you wouldn’t have otherwise. But really, the statement…

I was listening to a sermon a few weeks ago where a pastor said, “If we are being excellent Christians we will be excellent in our jobs in the workplace as well.” I think it’s a true statement except that we tend to put our own spin on that and make it into something it’s not meant to be. Because…

I have been praying lately about what God wants me to do in order to advance my career. Do I need to spend more time investing money here, more time volunteering there, more time reading about this topic or that? God’s answer was I needed to love more. Love?

One thing I love to think about is our ability as people in the workplace to change the course of tide of life itself. This is introduced biblically as…

I see this topic of “faith at work” floating around sometimes nowadays, much more often then I did ten years ago, and I think it’s a wonderful topic. However, it’s always interesting how this discussion actually goes after the title. I think far too often, people are confusing their vocabulary, so let’s discuss some things it’s not.
