    I want to help us confront a division that is so natural it can influence our lives more than we know… the division between what we perceive as spiritual and secular… between what we deem spiritually relevant and spiritually irrelevant… between what

    If some one will ask you to describe a man, let us suppose you were asked to give a brief account of Job in your own word, many of you will start with his wealth or fame. Now let us look at what are the things God most cared about.

Let us read the first verse of the book of Job In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 ...read more
