The Idea of Integration of Faith and Work
When we integrate our faith at our workplace, we get to be an example of Jesus to our coworkers. Now, we are not saying that you have to stand up and preach the Gospel every time you come to work, but you need to show the love of Christ in the way that you work. Whether that be through praying for a coworker, or going above and beyond at your job, our mission is to have people ask us why we are different.
God is Faithful in Giving the Desires of our Hearts
Have you ever thought about where your desires come from? As Christians, we are called to chase after what God has for us. He is the one that gives us the gifts that we have so that we can further His kingdom. God is eternally faithful, and He will always provide for us when we chase after Him.
