“Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance.   Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ.   The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible.    Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t […]

If you think you are too good for that, you […]

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.
