What an incredible day it was last Wednesday, February 5th at the Joseph Project 2010 Advance Workshop! There was great anticipation during the weeks leading up to this kickoff event. Seems like what you hear is how the economy is recovering. That may be true in some some quarters, but there are many others who are [...]

Haiti – Pray

“…The few things we can confirm – yes the four-story Caribbean Market building is completely demolished. Yes it was open…”. I found a link through a Twitter post to a blog from missionaries on the ground in Haiti. The stories are heart breaking. http://ow.ly/W00E As marketplace believers, let’s join together to pray powerfully for the Haitians. [...]
2010 – Time
Posted in Uncategorized on January 6, 2010 | 1 Comment »
We’re talking 2010 goals this week. How are yours? Written them down yet? We’ve talked encouragement… then judgment… today is TIME. Short of our relationship with Christ, this may be THE issue of the year. Precious few of us have all that we need or use what we have wisely. It’s a source of great frustration and [...]

As most of us sprint to the Christmas finish line, it’s so easy to forget people in need. This year, WorkMatters has been blessed to help the “poor and the sick” of the marketplace through The Joseph Project. Hundreds of business men and women have lost their jobs this year and this Christmas will look [...]
Judgement

That’s a scary word, isn’t it? We hear so much about legal judgements, especially in our current economic environment. But what about personal judgement? Along with pride, judgement has to be one of our greatest daily challenges. It just seems to be part of the way we live our lives. We judge our spouse constantly, without [...]

When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he stayed for two days, long enough for many more to hear his message and believe. Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you have told us, but because we have seen for [...]
God With Us

and to Jacob was born Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Matt 1:16 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call him Immanuel, which translated means, “God with us.” Matt 1:23 Thank you God our Father for coming to [...]
Is Work Meaningless?
Posted in Integrity, Seven Pillars of Faith and Work, Uncategorized on October 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Do you sometimes feel like your work is absolutely meaningless (beyond the money you receive for it)? That it’s a grind. It’s like chasing after the wind? I just recently finished reading Ecclesiastes with a 31 year old friend who I spend time walking through work and life with. Solomon, the wisest man in [...]
Day 19–Thy Will Be Done
Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Planning, Plans, Prayer, Uncategorized on July 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
You can make many plans, but the Lords purposes will prevail. Proverbs 19:21 (NLT) This verse in Proverbs is probably one most of us can quote in one form or fashion. It is one that has spoken to me my entire adult life. Even though I have claimed this verse many times over the course [...]
Day 18–No Slacking Off!
Posted in Uncategorized on July 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys. Proverbs 18:9 (NIV) Most of you probably can relate to this proverb in one way or another. Who hasn’t worked with one who was “slack in his work”, doing just enough to get by. When you really start to think about it [...]
