Amidst the songs and sermons and outreach and discipleship that goes on in today’s churches, there is an elephant in the sanctuary – a silent, unspoken force.
It’s the workplace.
Secular work is rarely discussed from the pulpit, despite the fact that the vast majority of Christians spend most of their time at the workplace. We have sermons, seminars, Bible studies and workgroups that support Finances, Family, Spiritual gifts and even sex are given full measures of support.
But it’s a rare sermon about how to do our work ‘as unto the Lord.” It’s a forgotten 12-week Bible Study on how to function as a believer in the workplace. It’s a nonexistent commissioning of a person to ‘go out the world’ of a new secular job or profession.
What is your suggestion on how to bring this creature out into the open? How can we make this taboo subject an integral part of modern ministry?
