Long ago, Thomas a Kempis wrote, “The Lord has many lovers of His crown but few lovers of His cross.” This is hardly understood in our day. Most of us would say we love the Cross. Why? Because we only know the Cross for what it has done for us (its work). We know little […]

Before we delve into another article on the way we think, what we think about, and how our thinking impacts our faith walk, I would like to clarify something. These articles are for Workplace Leaders. In fact, this is true for every article that God uses me to write – whether or not they are

The way we think affects our reception of external stimuli, our processing of it, and our response to it. Most of us think without thinking about the way we think.
