Up Close & Personal with Gordon
MacDonald
Q. How can one
bring the kingdom of Christ to a place of work?
A. Here
are some questions to stimulate thinking about the value of your work in kingdom
terms:
For Saturday:
Are you an asset or a liability?
Does your employer consider you a distinct asset to the business so that, aside
from your "niceness," you are worth what he pays you (or even more)?
Are you managing the routines?
If Christ were to sit at your desk, make your rounds, sell your widgets or provide
your service, what would be the atmosphere?
Which issues you are prepared
to stand for? What decisions will you be called to make or influence that will
make a significant difference in the direction your organization takes? What
issues would cause you to bet your career and your personal security?
For Sunday:
Are you in a position to
spread Christ-following values? What values will you identify with and "evangelize"
among your colleagues and associates? Are you alert to times in your workplace
when significant values are being violated? Will you be passive, reacting to
things when they come to you, or proactive, pressing for values higher than
the "bottom line"?
Has your real-world faith
helped some people to be come Christ-followers? Have you developed genuine enough
relationships that a conversation about Christ might be a natural topic? Is
there anything about your Christ- following that would make a colleague curious
about what drives you?
