If tomorrow you were to tell one of your co-workers or employees that you were a Christian, how would they respond? Would they be surprised? Confused? Shocked? I think this is a good question to ask ourselves. Our faith isn’t just supposed to stay between the pews on Sunday Mornings. It is important that our…
As we try to deal with information overload in today’s digital age, the less distractions the better.
