Our friend and mentor, Randy Kilgore who heads the “Made to Matter” workplace faith ministry, recently published a list of three myths that persist among Christians who work.
We’ll summarize, but you should read the whole post here.
Myth 1: True workplace faith is about ethics. The working Christian doesnt just follow a list of rules. Jesus’ call was about “doing the right thing in the right way with the right motives.”
Myth 2: Faith at work is about evangelism. We don’t go to work just to share the Gospel.
“Christianity is not a smoke and mirrors game where we pretend to care about our jobs simply to have the opportunity to sneak the Gospel in somewhere.”
Myth 3: We work to earn money so we can support God’s real work.
“The real work of the work of the church is to equip its members o serve God outside the walls of the church.”
Read the whole post here, drop Randy a note of encouragement, and then leave a comment here about these myths…and perhaps others you’ve experienced in the workplace.
