Monday, January 31, 2011 • Randy Kilgore • Work as service to God
"We were created to be careful keepers of the place where God puts us, whether that place is ten square feet of assembly line or ten square feet of cubicle or ten thousand square feet of a manufacturing facility. We were also created to enjoy the work we do because we're doing it alongside God."...
..."As Christians, our problems begin when we think we're smarter than God. When we think old rules (the Bible) don't work in new cultures. When we think getting our share of the pie comes before making sure everyone else has enough. When we think the world exists to make us comfortable, happy, and prosperous."...
..."On this side of heaven we work to fix the things our sinful natures broke. We work to fix lives physically, emotionally and spiritually. We work to fix Creation environmentally, economically and spiritually. We work to fix ourselves and our families and the tiny place where God has us laboring."
