So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) "I believe God made me for a purpose - for China. But He also made me fast! And when I run, I feel His pleasure.

real estae greenville sc: A Nuclear Powered Work Life
- 09/09/08 02:26 AM
The work culture of every office - good or ill - is set by a few people at the top. If the core leaders are tight, if they work in close coordination, and if they like what they are doing together, then their synergy radiates out with positive catalytic influence throughout the entire organizational chart. The same is also true of work spiritually. A Christian approach to work-life means following the example set at the top - in this case a leadership core of three: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. From all eternity, this divine … (0 comments)

It's Monday morning. We hurry to get ready and run out the door to work. We are lucky if we squeezed in a few minutes of prayer and reading our Bible before breakfast. Church--if we went--seems like a world away as we hit the ground running. The weekend and time with our family is over. Now, it's on to other things. Gotta get to work. Time to face today's to-do list. Unread e-mails blink waiting to be answered. We dive into a day of appointments, phone calls, meetings, and putting out fires. We are in a different zone now. We are … (0 comments)

With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves?

- 09/04/08 02:26 AM
There are many reasons for dissatisfaction in a workplace. Some can be attributed to the employer, and some to the employee. The only one we have control over is ourselves. We can choose to be dissatisfied, working for just a paycheck, or we can determine to make a difference. Debbie, a friend of mine, was telling me of a conversation she had with an executive at a very large company that she knew from church. As this executive complained about her job, and the bureaucracy with which she was constantly struggling, Debbie began challenging her friend. "God has obviously given you skill to … (2 comments)

real estae greenville sc: Six Reasons to Fall In Love With Jesus Christ
- 09/02/08 05:25 AM
It's been 17 years since I gave my life to Christ, and I can tell you, the Christian life is not an easy, 'feel good' road. It doesn't come with a benefits package guaranteed to fix all of your problems, at least not this side of heaven. But I wouldn't trade it now for any other path. The benefits far outweigh the challenges. But, the only real reason to become a Christian, or as some say, to convert to Christianity, is because you believe with all of your heart that God exists, that his Word-the Bible-is true, and that Jesus Christ … (0 comments)

The truth is, the Gideons don't mind if you take those hotel Bibles. They are actually placed there for travelers who might need one.

- 09/02/08 04:53 AM
Evangelical Christians seem to be responding enthusiastically to John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate. Up until now, one outspoken conservative leader, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, had been very reluctant to put his support behind McCain. However, in this recent statement made after the announcement by McCain, it's obvious that Dobson's outlook has changed: "Sen. McCain's selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is an outstanding choice that should be extremely reassuring to the conservative base of his party. She is a strong executive who hates corruption and puts principle above politics.
