Our Weekly Devotional

Shortly after the release of his first three collections of Bible studies on faith and work (30 Moments Christians Face in the Workplace), Madetomatter's Senior Writer began to look for new ways to reach working Christians. In February, 2002, the first weekly devotional was released under the title "Marketplace Moments." Now approaching it's tenth year, the column's title was changed to Made to Matter on January 1, 2008. With over 500 devotionals written on topics important to workers in every walk of life, there's likely one written about the issues facing you right now, so we've placed them here, searchable, for readers to explore anew. Got a favorite? Write to let us know. Looking for something to send that friend whose suffered a loss, or who has had a serious setback at work? You might find a column that captures the essence of your feelings right here. From the deeply moving story of the WWII canteen in North Platte, Nebraska to the words and life-tales of some of history's best-known and least-known characters, there's something here for everyone.

When we encounter Jesus Christ as Savior, we are called to live the rest of our earthly days in service to something, anything, EVERYthing bigger than self.

Are we made to mutter, or made to matter? What we do in the routine moments of life defines what we do for God when He calls us to service.

Unlike others who don�???�??�?�¢??t know Jesus----humans equally capable of noble acts and unselfish service---- we fight with different tools and different strategies, and with the hope and perspective of eternity in our sights.

Two folders sat on President Abraham Lincoln's desk, each asking him to commute or pardon the sentence of death hanging over the soldier named therein. Without the President's pardon, both would die by hanging within the week.

God never honors laziness, selfishness or self-indulgence; His call to Christians is one of action and activity in sacrificial pursuit of service. Yet none of that is why we were created; nor is it how He measures our worth. For God loves us more than our most noble labors.

Though there are terrible struggles in the world today, it is important to remember there are other times in history when the world has been equally distressed--perhaps even times that were worse. Because we don't know when God's marvelous grace and patience with humanity will end, it is imperative we remain hopeful--primed and ready for revival and renewal if God allows it. to happen. With history as our guide, we find evidence for how best to prepare for those revivals and awakenings. Here are ten keys--3 beliefs, 4 traits and 4 actions--Christian history shows are necessary for anyone to be agents of renewal in our cultures. How many do you possess? What are you prepared to to let God accomplish in and through you?

Since leaving California, this batch of troopers watched deserts turn to mountains, and mountains turn to dense Arctic forests, and then the wild would turn back to civilization somewhere shy of Denver. Nearly every soldier was seeing these American treasures for the first time, having never been more than 20 miles from home before the war.

Many were also seeing them for the last time.

Every Christian is called to full-time service to God. The places where we serve will look different, but the principles that guide us are absolute, eternal and practical. Even in places where God isn't always welcome. Here are but a few ways for you to consider the influence your faith is having on your work, and the people who surround you there.

God never gives up on His children. Whether we're only now discovering our work matters to Him or we've known it for years, here are five principles that help us keep our service in line with His priorities; with His thinking.

It remains one of my favorite workplace encounters in thirty years. Dust rag in hand, she reminded me the most effective service we offer the Kingdom of God is something everyone can do.
