Our Purpose

Posted in Purpose, Vision on December 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Recently, two people whom I greatly respect, asked “what is the purpose of WorkMatters?” On the surface, it’s a strange question from someone who knows WorkMatters well.

My co-worker and good friend Butch Scruggs, who leads The Joseph Project, gave me a cool one year devotional prayer book at our WorkMatters Christmas dinner last week. Do you have something you read to augment your Bible study? A blog, My Utmost for His Highest, maybe a book? Well, the morning after the party I opened [...]

Northstar’s mission is “building profitable businesses that advance the Kingdom”. My long time friend and Northstar leader Clay Bell has been an advocate of bridging the gap between faith and work long before I got involved with WorkMatters. Clay shared [...]

Friends, One thing you will learn about me is that I am passionate about  music.  I know that everyone will define good music differently, but  those of the original rock and roll generation have to acknowledge that Jethro Tull was GOOD MUSIC!  Yes , it was defintely out there with Ian Anderson and his flute [...]

Every Tribe, Tongue and Nation

I have been reading through Acts this month. I love this book and its discussion of the early church beginnings.  Thinking about the history of the church and the efforts put forth by the first apostles just amazes me.  I love that our Lord specifically called Paul to reach out beyond the Jewish people and [...]

Last Friday, he went to work. Like he had for over 60 years. Yes, he retired for a year or so. But he went right back to work, believe it or not…driving a school bus early in the morning. All of the drivers started their buses each morning and awaited a quick safety check before departing. After [...]
