Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of one of the most important days of my life. On October 5, 1991, Theresa and I said “I do and I will”! In honor of that day 20 years ago, we spent the entire day together just having fun. We reflected on the past 20 years. We looked at old [...]

Last night, WorkMatters ENGAGE marketplace ministry for Young Professionals had our monthly Gathering. We were blessed to have Mike Rusch share with a roomful of young leaders on the subject of Serving. Mike is leader at Nickelodeon and also a co-founder of the Cobblestone Project, a non-profit organization with a dream of “a community without need”. In my preparation to introduce [...]

60 Days of Prayer Friends, We are so honored for all of you who prayed diligently for WorkMatters and our fundraising during our 60 Days of Prayer in November and December.

Faith is…

What does the word faith mean to you? We tend to use this word loosely, don’t we? But what does faith really mean? The Bible give us a clear definition: Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 Every December, our faith at WorkMatters gets tested [...]
Six Years Since No Paycheck
Posted in Calling, Money on October 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Six years ago yesterday, I spent my first day on the WorkMatters payroll. Actually, the truth is, as the first employee of WorkMatters I was not getting paid… You see, we had this issue. This fledgling marketplace ministry was flourishing. We wanted to release it from Central Methodist Church where it was birthed. But we had NO money! [...]

How often do you experience a true reset? It’s pretty rare isn’t it? Well, some of us had TWO resets within 24 hours last week. Last Thursday night, 1,000 people hit the reset button at the funeral of a precious little 10-year-old girl, Olivia Ray (see “Reset” post). Then on Friday night, I witnessed something that truly amazed [...]

…give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or I may become poor and steal. Proverbs 30:8-9 As we count down our 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, it’s seems fitting that we can focus on [...]
Day 13 – Money (more or less)
Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Economy, Money on July 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. A man’s riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat. Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. Proverbs 13:7, 8, 11 [...]
