Don't fix what's not broken but ...

"Don't fix what's not broken." A popular saying, and a good one. It advises against trying to fix or improve something that is already working fine. While it can be useful in certain situations, it can also hold us back from progress and innovation.

Finish what you start

We’ve all been there: a new hobby, a home project, a personal goal—we start with a burst of enthusiasm, only to see our initial excitement fizzle out. The half-finished painting gathers dust in the corner, the half-read book sits on the nightstand, and the half-completed online course lingers in our browser history.

While it’s easy to move on to the next shiny thing, there’s immense value in finishing what you start. This isn't about being a perfectionist. It's about building character, gaining clarity, and being reliable—to yourself and to others.

The power of small victories: How "Atomic Habits" can change your life

We all have goals, right? Whether it's to get fit, learn a new skill, write a book, or just be more organized, we set our sights high. But often, the journey to achieving those goals feels like an uphill battle. We start strong, then life happens, motivation wanes, and before we know it, we're back where we started.

If this sounds familiar, then James Clear's groundbreaking book, "Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones," might just be the game-changer you need. It's not about radical transformations overnight; it's about the incredible power of small, consistent changes.

The myth of the self-made individual

Our culture celebrates the story of the "self-made man" or "self-made woman." 

It's the inspiring story of people who, through sheer grit, determination, and talent, pull themselves up by their bootstraps, overcome all obstacles, and achieve remarkable success without any apparent help from anyone.

God cares about your work

We come from different walks of life, with diverse experiences and aspirations, but are united by a common thread: work.

Whether you’re a surgeon wielding a scalpel with precision, a teacher patiently nurturing young minds, an artist breathing life onto a canvas, a parent juggling the myriad demands of family life, an entrepreneur building a business from the ground up, a scientist exploring the mysteries of the universe, or someone diligently working behind the scenes to keep the gears of our world turning – your work matters. And, perhaps more than you realize, your work matters to God.

Uncover your income sources here and now

 

We often look far and wide for opportunities, scrolling through endless job posts or dreaming of distant opportunities. But sometimes, the most accessible and fruitful income sources are right under our noses, within our very own community!

The Gift of Time

We usually think of gifts in terms of tangible things: a thoughtful present, a delicious meal, a helping hand. But there's a gift we receive every day that’s both precious and fleeting: time. From a Christian perspective, time isn't just a commodity to be spent; it's a sacred trust.

The power of asking

It's 12:21 in the morning, and maybe you're up late, scrolling, thinking about something you wish you had, or a problem you wish would just magically disappear. We all do it, right? That silent yearning, that hopeful wishing that things would just happen. But what if I told you there's a powerful, often overlooked key to unlocking what you need, both spiritually and practically? It's simply this: the power of asking.

You Are What You Feed Your Mind

    

We are constantly bombarded with stimuli vying for our attention. From the endless scroll of social media to the 24/7 news cycle, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content we consume. This has a great impact on your inner life, thoughts, and ultimately, your relationship with God.

You are what you feed your mind.

Finding God in the Mundane: How to See the Sacred in Your Daily Routine

                          


The alarm blares. You roll out of bed, still half-asleep, and begin the well-worn routine: coffee, a quick scroll through your phone, a hurried breakfast, and then you're off to the races. Whether it's the daily commute, the pile of laundry that never seems to shrink, or the endless stream of emails, our lives are filled with the mundane.

Spender or earner: which one are you?

                           

Spender vs. Earner?

I once had officemates who waited for payday so they could go to the bar and drink, then report to work the next day, almost broke and with a hangover. Or they spend a third of their income on clothes and end up borrowing money for their necessities a week later. For some, this was a pattern.

If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Wait. Be wise.

In a world saturated with advertising and the constant pressure to keep up with trends, it's easy to fall into the trap of instant gratification. We see something we want, and the urge to acquire it immediately can be incredibly strong, especially with easy credit options readily available. However, for those of us seeking to live a life aligned with Christian principles, there's wisdom in the simple adage: If you cannot afford it, don't buy it. Wait. Be wise.

Education matters to God

 

Education is important to God. 

Whether it's structured classroom learning or the lessons gained from experience, education is a sacred trust, a means of stewardship, and a vital path to glorifying God.
