Colossians 3.17
New International Version
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Dallas Willard
The Divine Conspiracy (page 286), HarperSanFrancisco 1998
The specific work to be done — whether it is making ax handles or tacos, selling automobiles or teaching kindergarten, investment banking or political office, evangelizing or running a Christian education program, performing in the arts or teaching English as a second language — is of central interest to God. He wants it well done. It is work that should be done, and it should be done as Jesus Himself would do it.
