Connecting Call and Career

Series: Working for Christ 8/28/12 We are a royal priesthood. The word “royal” speaks of a kingdom. It speaks of power and authority, and the fact that we are chosen by God as His representatives in this world to advance His kingdom purposes. As a Christian it means that our entire life, not just a few hours a week within the walls of the church, is to be lived for the purpose of representing God and His Kingdom in the world. We are not part time volunteers working a couple of hours a week for God. We are all full-time ministers. The majority of our time is spent at work, and God has chosen us to be  agents of God’s Kingdom in our workplace. It means that we need to see our work as ministry unto the Lord. We are there to represent God and His interests, His Kingdom. Our call and our career are connected. We really need to look at this more in depth, so that we will be able to grasp what it means for us and what it will look like in our lives, so that we put it into practice.
