Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.-Colossians 3:23-24

May the loudest voices ringing in the ears of the hurting be the compassionate and humbly broken among us, in and outside of faith.

Like everything else in this journey of faith, trying harder never works; shouting louder never works; getting angry never works. If we're too human; too rebellious; too broken to fix ourselves, then we're certainly too "all" of the above to fix Creation. But...

"...non-Christians make the same mistake most of us as believers make at some point in our faith journey: We expect Christians to be different than non-Christians."

Our faith isn't measured by the absence of sin or mistakes in our lives; but rather by our desire to get back up, look back to Jesus, and continue the trek in this two-steps forward, one-step back journey to eternity.

What makes our labor holy, what makes it eternal, is not just the work but the state of our hearts while performing that work. When we comprehend that truth, then we realize washing dishes is as significant to the Kingdom as operating on a patient; driving a truck is as eternally triumphant as leading a company. Then, even in the zig-zags of our careers, when life seems more random than ordered, when it feels like we're running in thick mud with heavy boots, we can rest in the knowledge we're serving God as we labor faithfully and diligently.

What we become during the storms of life matters more to observers of our faith than what we say or do in the lulls.

Revival can start anywhere, but the path it follows once started, carries it from heart to heart among those who are already talking to God. These are the beacons of faith that light the darkness when hope is all that's left.

When I left the corporate world for seminary, I thought Science was casting doubt on Scripture. In seminary, I learned the opposite was true. The more we dig, the closer Science gets to validating God's promise His Word is Truth. So how come lay people don't know that? Why are we telling our kids to "accept on faith" and "trust God" when they could be digging the hunt for Truth themselves? It's time to unleash the real power of science: Taking us through hard questions, not around them, as the shortest route back to the Face of God.

Jesus walked the earth during times of great national and international turmoil, and then he picked a team of regular men and women to build His Kingdom when He returned to heaven to advocate for us at the Father's right hand. Those regular men and women of faith changed the world in one generation. How? By looking and sounding and acting like the Prince of Peace.
