In today’s world it’s easy to be anxious about the future, isn’t it. Where are we headed? What’s going to happen? Where is God in all this? The good news is that God is not surprised by where we find ourselves, and He has a GOOD PLAN for your future! Stick with Him and you’ll come out on top, and be a shining light to the people around you.

This devotional, part three of the Be a Gentleman series, focuses on authenticity. This plan will help you on the journey of aligning your actions, words, and values with your true self.

There's no doubt about it; if you're alive, you will experience suffering. Perhaps you're in a time of suffering right now and feel as though God has disappeared. Maybe you're questioning why God allows suffering at all. Take heart; God walks with you through your darkest valley and gives you His fatherly comfort. He knows what you're experiencing and promises great gain and future glory when you suffer.

Over the next 4 days, we will look at 4 popular passages of Scripture that are frequently taken out of context, and thus, misapplied at work and throughout the rest of our lives.
