It is written
As the Psalmist admitted, God's word is what gives understanding, illumination, and purpose to our life. How do we find our way in a world where truth is hated and lies celebrated?
When life happens
Like many people I have met, you likely have a carefully crafted plan outlining your daily, weekly, monthly, and even future goals. However, unexpected events can occur…
Hunger for a Touch of God!
Upon arriving in Nairobi, we had to endure another 5-hour drive to get to our destination. But despite the length of time, the journey was an adventure in itself.
Go and make
One of the things I found hard when I first accepted the position at my current workplace in 2012, was that everyone around me was a believer.
Meetings organized by God #2
When we pray for God to organize divine meetings, we will start looking out for these appointments that he may have created. For me, I must admit that most days pass by without my knowledge of having any special, God-ordained encounters with others.
Meetings organized by God #I
The Bible has many stories about people who seemingly meets randomly. When we look closer at things, we do however see God’s finger behind the encounter. It is like God brought the people together without them knowing it.
A heart for others
“The city of Jerusalem is in ruins and those living in it are in great distress”. These were the words of Hanani, one of the brothers of Nehemiah, accompanied by other men who had just returned from Judah.
Golden rule and customer care
“This is a hike and not a training session,” says my coach, Frank. His job is to take people on hikes in the mountains. Frank has a deep voice. His practical style and way of talking resembles his passion in life; hiking. He draws forth a big blue rucksack. It is full of security equipment and different hiking gear, extra clothes in case of chilly weather, flashlights, and a walkie talkie that can be used in remote places.
Friendship in your workplace
Friends understand and appreciate each other. Friends care, and as a result, they can influence each other's lives. The mutual appreciation that arises from friendship creates strong bonds.
Give Thanks
In many cultures around the world, it is important to show gratitude for something received. This means that being grateful is response for a good act or deed done.
God’s good guidance
In chapter 28 of Deuteronomy, we read about the blessings God is promising to the people of Israel if they obey his instruction (v.1-14), and the curses that will follow should they choose to disobey (v. 15-68).
Joy at workplace
When I told my co-workers that I had accepted an offering for another job a few months ago, some of them came to my office trying to convince me to stay. They told me that I was the one bringing happiness and peace to the office, and they did not want to lose this.
Revelation on a rainy workday
During my studies abroad, at the leading of God, I took up a part-time work assignment at a public kindergarten
Actively Doing Nothing
In Philippians 4, the apostle Paul encourages the believers in Philippi to always rejoice in the Lord and be anxious for nothing.
Daniel can be a role model today
Despite the tragic situation because of Judah's disobedience and the Babylonians conquering, the book relates to the life of a person (or persons) who walks in a different direction than both societies. He does not conform to Babylon's antagonism to the lifestyle imposed by God or Judah's disobedience to God's call.
Celebrate your culture – as God celebrates you
Languages are a part of our everyday life. They matter since it was Gods idea to confuse them.
Security guard to God’s glory
On a recent trip to Abuja, we dropped by one of the city’s Shoprite malls for lunch. We had to go through a security scanner to get into the mall.
Mouthpiece for justice
God intended humans being to work, and all workers are created in His image. Thus, there are good causes for Jesus-followers to celebrate the International Workers’ Day or Labour Day on this first day of May.
Can bringing faith to work be a secret weapon to success?
Elize Strauss, Bonne Turner, and Merrel Grootboom are all leaders in Tent South Africa. Here they share their inspiring stories on how bringing faith to work has blessed them and others.
God’s definition of rest
What comes to your mind when you hear the word rest? Many people think about absence of work. It is thus a bit strange that Jesus, just after inviting his followers to rest says: “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
