     | 6,826 views

    Setbacks are very common in life and especially so at workplace. As Christians we have a definite advantage over others in overcoming such setbacks

    Thriving through setbacks and Anxiety @ Workplace Today’s workplace is in a constant flux. The phrase, “change is the only constant”, though clichéd, is very much applicable in the workplace. The sad part of this is that not all that change is constructive as far as the employee is concerned. As ...read more

    I once saw a sign outside a church that made me smile. ‘Merry Christmas,’ it said, ‘to our Christian friends. Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends. And to our atheist friends, good luck.’ Times are changing!

    The Land Of The Midnight Sun Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 1, 2009
     | 4,869 views

    Our culture has lived in sheer optimism, but that time is fading. We must seize the opportunity to minister while it is here; and if we do so, we will see bountiful rewards.

    My besetting sin, if you must know, is procrastination. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, for somehow tomorrow always seems to be even more than only a day away. It seems to be an eternity away, and so what if I do not do today what my To-Do list says I am to do? Who will know ...read more

    The Third Sermon of a Seven Part Series, ‘Stepping Stones and Stumbling Blocks to Faith.’

    I begin this morning with a riddle, or, at least what I hope is a riddle. (Or maybe a pseudo-riddle). The riddle is a common experience several of us have had over the years.

    The folly of false religions. Only fullness and freedom are found in Christ.

    The setting is the front of a small church. The pastor says from the pulpit, ‘I’ve misplaced my sermon notes, so I’m just going to read from this devotional—if I can find it here.
