We need Christians in all sorts of vocations, because we are in a spiritual battle every day and…
The “war” is being fought along the line between sin and righteousness in every family.
It is being fought along the line between truth and falsehood in every school…
between justice and injustice in every legislature…
between integrity and corruption in every office…
between love and hate in every ethnic group…
between pride and humility in every sport…
between the beautiful and the ugly in every art…
between right doctrine and wrong doctrine in every church…
between sloth and diligence between coffee breaks.
It is not a waste to fight the battle for truth and faith and love on any of these fronts.
The war is not primarily spatial or physical — though its successes and failures have physical effects. Therefore, the secular vocations of Christians are a war zone. There are spiritual adversaries to be defeated (that is, evil spirits and sins, not people); and there is beautiful moral high ground to be gained for the glory of God.
You don’t waste your life by where you work, but how and why.
–John Piper
I hope as you head to work today (and throughout this entire week) that you will keep your eyes open for the great opportunities God is giving you to impact people for His kingdom in your workplace. Don’t waste the opportunities He places in your path!
