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.

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?
