The Bible has much to say about teamwork. A couple of my favorite verses on this subject: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should not only look to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3,4 Also, …
I need to work on my game! Not baseball. I’m a little “long in the tooth” to be doing mound work. After reading the following verse, I was convicted to work on my “life game.” Join me, please, so that our families, communities, teams and organizations will benefit from our example. “Set an example for …
Think little, believe little, act little, and the results will be little. Think big, believe big, act big, and the results will be big. “According to your faith will it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29

It’s uncomfortable for me to hear Christian’s argue with each other…. especially in the presence of non-believers. The Apostle Paul reminds us of this truth in Galatians 5:6, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” Non-believers will only know the Way if we show the Way through love.
