On Monday, we met R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes in Detroit... Their mission -- in their words, "highest priority" -- is to honor God in all that they do as a company and as individuals. They articulate strong values in nine aspects of business, yet place their ultimate trust for success on Matthew 6:33: "But...
On Monday, I shared some interesting research data that illuminates the intersection between physicians and faith. See https://championsofdestiny.com/whats-up-doc-2/ The study revealed that, although a high percentage of physicians believe in God and attend religious services at least occasionally, 61% say they "try to make sense" of a difficult situation and "decide what to do without...
For seven years since eHarmony's inception, prospective members had accessed the website's entry portal. Beginning their online quest for a lifelong match by indicating "Man seeking woman" or "Woman seeking man." Then, in 2007, eHarmony encountered Disharmony.

This God-encounter happened to me. Last night, after dinner. Outside of the context Religious Liberty... but strikingly relevant, all the same. We prepared a delicious, home-cooked dinner together. Exhaustion soon caught up with my Honey. As I cleared the table and washed the dishes, he drifted into Slumbersville... right in his chair at the dinner...

Certain boundaries are just understood for most restaurant patrons... Amen? Boundaries like "No shoes, no shirt... No service." I also remember another from years back, allowing the restaurant owner the "right to refuse service to anyone." Not a license for racial or any other kind of blatant, illegal discrimination. But certainly a license to throw...
Would it surprise you to learn that some Christian realtors are coming under fire for using Bible verses on their websites and email signatures, and Christian symbolism in their materials? It did me! The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) notes that the Virginia Real Estate Board has repeatedly filed complaints against Christian realtors,...
What would you find too hard to swallow? On Monday, I introduced Hobby Lobby -- founded and owned by devout Christians who desire to honor the Lord through their marketplace influence (see https://championsofdestiny.com/when-faith-is-far-more-than-a-hobby/). Obamacare passed, imposing a mandate on businesses to include contraception in their employee health care plans. Enter the spectre of Abortion. Hobby...
My heart-prompting to be in the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday proved to be unrealistic. I was already planning how to take the Metro and arrive hours early for a first-come, first-serve seat... when I realized the real Deal Breaker. I had returned to our Florida home from Virginia the week before. :( What state am...
On Monday, I introduced you to Jack Phillips and his small family-owned business, Masterpiece Cakeshop. During his 40 years in the cake industry, Jack has sought to live his life and run his business in a way that glorifies God.
