John would there be any specific counsel you would give a business person about glorifying God in their work he must have heard a talk I gave early today but does that come from here I gave a talk to the Christian business men's group downtown today and how to glorify God 8 to 5 and so first thing I want to say is I totally believe in secular work meaning non church work we're all ministers we're all priests piece to the believer and so I'm not drawing that kind of distinction I'm just saying as far as the office goes your priesthood may be it a computer company or nursing or doctor or carpentry or whatever and my priesthood happens to being pastoring so I'm totally there and I believe the Bible says we should be staying generally where we are and only if God leads in a clear way should we leave the job rambling we're saved so the counsel I would give is seek to do your work in such a way that Christ looks more important than your work seek to make and use money in such a way that Christ looks more important than money seek to have relationships with people in the workplace such that Christ is more important than those relationships now that doesn't imply the relationships go down in effectiveness and importance it means in fact they go up because if Christ is infinitely precious to you you will now have resources for the relationships and for the work that you wouldn't have had otherwise if those relationships were God if they're God you're drawing strength from them and eventually people are gonna feel that you're using me you you may be really really interested me and you'd like to spend time with me but I'm starting to feel dry by you whereas if Christ is all and he sends you into that relationship with resources then the field should be I like being around you because I get your you're ministering to me you're not taking from me and so whether it's people whether it's money whether it's activities we do them all with we're we're very good at them we should be creative and industrious and excellent in all of our work in order to adorn the gospel and do it in a way that Christ is shown to be more valuable than any of those things that's just the chapter in the book don't waste your life what if his glorified God 8 to 5 or something is where I'm getting all that stuff you
