Are You Ready to Work? August 27, 2007

Taking great joy in a job is a scoffed-at concept by most of the people with whom I work. Unfortunately, even many Christians hate the idea of employment, especially after a nice and relaxing weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not saying breaks and rest are bad–they’re a wonderful God-given part of life. More importantly, though, God calls us to be engaged in our vocations as ministers for Him, and do so joyfully AS UNTO GOD.
Along with this topic, I just finished listening to a great speaker, Dennis Bakke, (you can listen to his thoughts HERE) who gives some great insights into work and serving God in business. If you check out the above link, you’ll get to hear Dennis’ presentation, but don’t turn it off when it gets to the question/answer time because it is very insightful. I was challenged to think and evaluate Christian leadership in the business world–and how I should make the most of my skills as a leader in the business community.
If you’re looking for some other interesting insights into business leadership and workplace interactions with faith, you can check out the Work Research Foundation.
I hope you’re encouraged and excited to go to work tomorrow!
