Friends, Consider these words of the apostle Paul from his first letter to Timothy: “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live [...]

“Be Still and know that I am God.” Philip Yancey writes that this familiar verse in Psalms contains two commands of equal importance. ”First, I must be still, something that modern life conspires against.

As vacation days are beginning for most everyone today, please allow me to digress a little from the workplace theme of most of our 60 Day posts.

Friends, Often times I have felt at a loss for words. A situation presents itself and it feels like I should say something, but I don’t because I am scared that I will not say the right thing. Good intentions and all, but the word of encouragement or the word of thankfulness does not ever [...]

Friends, A few more thoughts on prayer from E.M.
