Taking Christ to Work, Part 2A
July 24, 2013
The Paychecks That Matter Most
Why do we get up each morning and head out to work? For many of us, we’d readily admit that our motivation to punch the clock is the paycheck waiting for us at the end of the week. On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez asks us to look past the monetary gains of our job to find real purpose in what we do for a living.

Slaying the Stigma of SinglenessWhy would someone choose to be single? Is it because they’re not ready for a lifelong commitment? Or maybe they’re simply biding their time, waiting for the right person to come along?
