Struggle Against Part-Time Faith
It could start with your snooze button or a traffic jam. When you get to work, a customer is already irate, or a deadline slipped; a long meeting or an Internet outage. Others tug on us to finish our tasks early so they can slip.

And this doesn’t even include school, sick kids, family commitments…

Live An Unexplainable Life
God gives you life as you give your life away. In the civilized American work world, we rarely suffer, but we could get ostracized or passed up for promotions. Even if we receive harsh treatment, we know God causes good from all things (Romans 8:28). Whatever we give away, Jesus says we will receive a hundred times as much and eternal life.

Giving and Eternal Life Part 1
However, when we enter a job as a representative of Jesus, we know our life is eternal. We spend energy, but the Holy Spirit refreshes us. Our life comes from God instead of coming from our work.

Evangelism, Discipleship, and Moving Closer to Jesus
On first glance, this may seem like a compromise with my faith. The "truly" spiritual know that God is first. That’s the Sunday school answer. God is first, others second and me third. It’s biblical. The Great Commandment (Luke 10:27) is that we would love God and love people. God is first.

Who Do You Pray For?
When you think about your prayers, do they sound selfish? Mine can. Take some time to think about who and what you're praying for and ask God to change you.

Pray For Your Co-Workers
Every day, I went to work thinking my faith would make me a better employee, but not much more. After work and on weekends, after my bills were paid and everything else was done, then I could “do ministry.”
