10 Key Points About Work in the Bible That Every Christian Should Know

As the holidays come to an end and we don our work apparels, i'm really excited to share something vital with you regarding your vocation. I was pleased to come across a website: Theology of Work. I firmly believe that our vocations are means of fulfilling our various callings, and as Christians, we ought not to separate our spirituality from our secular jobs. I especially love Nehemiah in the Bible. He was such a hard worker who was obviously pleased with his work as the King's cupbearer, because Scripture says that he had never been sad in the king's presence. I really would love to be such a Christian.

Today's post is from Theology of Work, a Christian website pioneered by a man named Andy. Andy became a Christian as a CEO, and he felt God impress upon him the importance of asking, “What difference does being a Christian make for my work?” Over the years, Andy’s extensive experience as a Christian working in the marketplace and his study of scripture have helped him form the following perspective on work.

The Bible makes it clear that work matters to God. No matter what your profession or occupation – whether you’re a parent, a bus driver, an artist or an engineer – God cares about your work. Here are ten key points about work drawn from the Bible. They provide a practical foundation for Christians asking what the Bible says about how we should approach our work.

Have a great day at work, and a successful new week. Yours in Christ.

Happy New Year readers! It's been an amazing one year break. It was totally worth it. I am really grateful to God for everything. To Him be praise and glory, now and forever more. Amen This year, I have made up my mind to serve you diligently. The goal is spiritual growth. The Bible says in Ephesians 4 that the Body of Christ grows as each member does his part in love. I'll make sure to do my part through this blog and my sincere prayer is that we all will grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ. Last year, I found out that there's a lot of great stuff on the internet that can help us grow as Christians spiritually, and otherwise. So I'll be serving us with lots of these awesome stuff. I'll save you the stress of searching; just stick with me on this blog and all bring all the great stuff here for you. That said, I really do hope that we'll all have an amazing year. I love you very much, especially for your commitment to this blog since 2011. I a

SPIRITUAL WORKOUT

DOWNLOAD POST HERE              I have a very tall and handsome cousin. He is well-built and fit. He is in very good shape and does a lot of exercise that’s because he gyms every evening. I am not a sporty person, though I am thinking of trying out at something new. I remember when I was in secondary school. Every Saturday morning, before the morning prayers,

Thankfulness

Oh! How much we love the words THANK YOU, PLEASE and SORRY. It is part of etiquette and politeness. I have a friend who is very good at it. She says these words as frequent as she says I. This little act of courtesy really moves me. I like it a lot. Though it was a little bit hard for me to practice and also took a long time for me to get used to it. When I finally did, I felt wonderful. It was nice and pleasing to be around people saying those three things clearly and boldly. I gained the respect and friendliness of a lot of people. A good attitude begins with gratitude. As these three things are essential in our daily dealings with our neighbours so are they important in our relationship with God. In fact they are the most important words in our prayer. Remember our pattern of prayer should be like this: Thank God for His providence (THANK YOU) Ask for Forgiveness (SORRY) State your request (PLEASE) Conclude with thanking Him again Yes, it is the same thing. After all, y
