Why God Doesn’t Want to get Involved in Your Business

Whenever I teach on “marketplace ministries,” I often ask in my presentation, “Who wants God to get involved in your business?” The vast majority of those present raise their hands expecting me to help them find effective ways to help them further achieve that “divine connection.” To their surprise, I not only don’t help them, [...]

It always happens in an election year — some kind of upheaval. But this year it really seems to have teeth. Banks failing, huge drops (and gains) in the stock market, businesses closing, layoffs, etc.
As believers, how do we respond?
I’ve spent a lot of time studying this subject this year. With ups and downs in [...]
