In His great love, God has given us as Christians the privilege and responsibility of sharing in His work, of telling others about Him, through our words and our lives. This is a weighty thing, more important than any earthly occupation we’ll ever have. I think that can be quite overwhelming sometimes, so I’m very […]
Hey you, I don’t know what job you’re in. And I don’t know if you love it or hate it, or if you have a job at all. But I do know that you can serve Jesus in whatever you do, although that would probably be the more difficult option–every time. You might have a […]
