Monday morning atheist? Dr. Dion Forster EXPOSED – Shining a light on corruption http://www.exposed2013.com
A missed opportunity… Monday morning atheists? OR The 9-5 window!
“I believe one of the next great moves of God is going to be through the believers in the workplace.” - Dr. Billy Graham
Doing your work and life for God’s purposes and blessing! • Paradigm 1 - God’s discipleship plan is for more than just individuals. (Matthew 28:18-20) “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matt. 28:18-20)
Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing! • Paradigm 2 – Everything has been ‘redeemed’, and so it needs to be ‘reclaimed’ (Luke 19:10) “For the son of man came to seek and save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10) “For it was the Father's good pleasure …to reconcile all things to Himself…whether things on earth or things in heaven.” (Col 1:19-20)
Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing! • Paradigm 3 - God views every Christian as a minister, and so work can be worship! (Col 3:23-24) “Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, working for the Lord and not for your masters, since you know that you will receive your reward from the Lord; you serve the Lord Christ.” (Col 3:23) The ‘worship switch’… ON or OFF?
Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing! • Paradigm 4 - God wants us to take light into dark places, and get salt out of the salt shaker. (Matthew 16:18-19) “Upon this rock will I build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overpower it…” (Matthew 16:18-19). Building the Church is what Jesus does… Taking his Kingdom and gospel all over the earth is what we’re commanded to do… - Ed Silvoso
Preaching the truth without love is like giving someone a good kiss when you have bad breath. No matter how good your kiss is, all the recipient will remember is your bad breath! - Ed Silvoso
Doing your work and life for God’s purposes and blessing! • Paradigm 5 - True transformation must be tangible and visible. The Gospels recall two incidents when Jesus wept, once for a friend, and another time for a city. His tears show how deeply he loves individuals and cities (groups, structures etc.). What would the most tangible and visible expression of God’s love be in your context? What is REALY good news to the poor? Remember the ‘methodology’ of Jesus… Bless, Fellowship, Minister, Preach…
