Working for A Living

What...if not work and our chosen vocation (job)...is the gravitational center for the proclamation of Christ and Him crucified (the Gospel)? We are no longer an agrarian society teaching and living Christian life on the farm. I in-fact travel and have been many places for my employment and have been employed by many. Hence the reason I believe God keeps me healthy and constantly moving job to job. Every employer and every single trip for those employers another opportunity. 80% of our waking hours are in employment. I am a teacher without a pulpit. I am the pulpit.

We are in fact as Chrsitians...all bi-vocational. We need to work and we are also commanded to spread the Gospel. In both of these vocations we are in-fact emulating God's work of creation in Genesis and the spread of His word all throughout Scripture,

Most of us will be pastors or teachers in our workplaces, not the church (brick and mortar). Our main effect on the world as salt and light is in the streets or corridors of industry not dying behind cloistered walls in dead church buildings being obsoleted by false doctrines. By all means find a sound theological church and attend but don't hide your theology in it.

Genesis 2:15 say: The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

Colossians 3:23-24 says: "Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
