Verse Of The Day:
"Be still, and know that I am God"... (Psalm 46:10) [NIV] Verse Of The Day loading... Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Bringing faith into the workspace is good for business. According to research done by Merrill Oster, a former Inc. Magazine Entrepreneur Of The Year, executives who intentionally applied religious teachings at work scored higher on almost all leadership measurements. Leaders who took their faith to work also ranked higher in personal job satisfaction and net worth. Bringing faith to work pays off. But just how should faith be brought into the workplace? Let me highlight three ways Christians are to take their faith to work. First, Christians are to be industrious on the job. The Bible instructs Christians to work hard. “Whatever you do, work with all of your heart, as working for the Lord, not men” (Colossians 3:23). Second, Christians are to have integrity as they work. Jesus wants His followers to be exemplary in their ethics (1 Peter 2:11-12).I know a Christian man who refused to lie for his boss. When his boss got irate, he said "Look, I won't lie for you, but I won't lie to you, either." His faith bolstered his honesty. Finally, Christians are to be interested in others at work. Employees often carry heavy concerns with them when they show up at the office. At appropriate times--during a break over lunch--Christians can offer them the encouragement and hope that springs from their faith in Jesus. Trying to keep faith out of the workplace is simply bad business. Companies and co-workers benefit when faith goes to work. From: http://delveintojesus.com/articles/87/Faith-in-the-Workplace.aspx
the school is our workplace. let us be industrious, work with integrity and show interest in others in school.
this is certainly one way we can evangelize.. by letting our actions speak louder than words..
totally feeling this article.. think it was the way God led me in army too, even though i tried to live life on my own strength, God has really helped me because i am really not industrious, nor with integrity nor truly interested in others most of the time..May God help me with this in school. because points 1 and 3 are so easy to come into conflict at times.. :X
totally man!! i'm certainly not industrious at studying!! and i'm fully aware that it's bearing a very bad testimony.. ahhhh, God please help us to study hard to bring glory to your name.
