Your Work and the Mission of God

Jan 19 | Pastor J.D. | 2 Comments |

It was great to meet with a thriving group of businessmen here at the Summit this morning. They meet the 3rd Thursday of every month in Suite 111 of the Brier Creek North campus from 7-8am, and you are free to join. It’s encouraging to be around men passionate about seeing their secular vocations leveraged for the mission of God.

Here are a few resources I referenced this morning. One of the great achievements of the Protestant Reformation was the tearing down of the artificial wall between clergy and laity. The following can help you to that end, showing how God has designed and equipped you for business or other so-called ‘secular’ vocation for His purposes:

Determining Your Calling: (mp3), (Transcript PDF) (I gave this talk this past Tuesday at our Equip Leadership Forum)

Blog article: “What Makes Business Christian?“

Blog article: “The Next Wave of Missions“

These articles from past issues of Christianity Today (Note: I wouldn’t agree, necessarily, with every word of these articles, but there is some valuable stuff in there)

- Working on Eternity

- The Mission of Business

- Work Is Our Mission

- Scripture and The Wall Street Journal
