Fruits of Our Efforts
How many times have we felt like a salesperson just wanted to sell something to us to make his or her goals? How many times have we felt cheated because of an extra add-on charge?
Coloring Ourselves with Truth
When we meet someone, we should be glad to meet that person. Our thanks in our emails should be sincere. When we tell a story, we should tell the whole story. What comes from us should always be the truth.
Imago Dei
George was raised in a wealthy home and went to Harvard. Instead of studying economics or business, he pursued a path of social advocacy. He eventually graduated with a master’s in Social Work.
Leaving the Past Behind
Eventually he stopped judging himself based on the past and looked to the present. It is in the present, as a new creation with the Lord, that Jesus wants us to reside.
The Cereal Tycoon
We have our work lives, that we use to pay our bills. From that we should have a Sabbath. We also have the work of the Lord, which never ceases.
How Do We Treat the Least of These?
Jesus makes no distinction about a person based on race, gender, socioeconomic circumstance or locale. All are members of his family without bias in any direction.

Jesus says that when we live with the Spirit, we see God at work. We see God’s influence in our lives.
Commending Our Spirit to God
When we commend our spirit to God, we change our perspective from worry to hopefulness and helpfulness.
Taking the Narrow Road
For many of us, we are pressed for time. Our to do list piles up if we tarry to long on a project. We are besieged by an endless list of tasks.
Following Jesus to a New Identity
Jesus asks us to take his yoke. Jesus reminds us that he is “gentle and humble of heart,” and that his yoke is light.
