"The true test of your walk with God is not necessarily determined by how involved or dedicated you are within the confines of your local church, notable as your service there may be. Rather, the test may center in the rough and tumble climate of the 'marketplace' where greed, seduction, power games, and Machiavellian pragmatism commonly prevail. It is into this environment that the Master Strategist has undoubtedly placed you to affect lives for his glory."
Dwight Hill

[Work] should be looked upon, not as a necessary drudgery to be undergone for the purpose of making money, but as a way of life in which the nature of man should find its proper exercise and delight and so fulfill itself to the glory of God. That it should, in fact, be thought of as a creative activity undertaken for the love of the work itself; and that man, made in God’s image, should make things, as God makes them, for the sake of doing well a thing that is well worth doing.

What is our calling as Christians? Is it simply to believe in Jesus and wait for heaven? Or does the Christian have a calling in the world that is also for the world?
