Bernard Moon examines the dualism that enabled people to compartmentalize life, easing into the role of "Sunday believers" who honor the "natural" separation between church and the rest of the week. Is this why some "Christian" businesspeople can be the most unscrupulous professionals you've met...because they can subdivide their conscience employing a "this is business" rationale?

Bradley J Moore writes, "I tend to get caught up in 'What’s Next.' The next big exciting deal or promotion or position or recognition.
