Hurry Up and Wait

Nobody likes to wait. In business, we reward initiative and results – people who get things done. But it's often in the waiting that we find the reward - the recognition that our activity is not what brings us closer to God.

When integrity wins

The Bible describes TRUTH as a belt that holds everything in place. Is that true of you? Are you buckled up when frustration, temptation or struggles come your way, or do you tend to come untucked and unbuttoned?
