27: Mission Critical Work

Quote
Read this verse in context
Perry BigelowFaith Goes to Work (p 54), Alban Institute, 1993
Colossians 3:23-24New International Version
 

There are two ways to connect faith and work. One can integrate faith into work, in which case faith is secondary to work, or one can integrate work into faith, in which case faith is primary. I have tried both ways. For me integrating faith into work resulted in compartmentalization; integrating work into faith is holistic. All work done in Jesus' name and done for Jesus (Col. 3:23-24) is part of the good work that God has created me to do—whether it is work in the marketplace, in the community, at home, or at church.

 

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
