I freely acknowledge that this post is not going to be for everyone. However, if you are a growing Christian and working in the corporate world it may be exactly what you need to hear.
As we mature in our relationship with Christ we start to see things the way He does and not the way the world does. Most people at work are motivated by power, pleasure, position and pride.
Even for us as Christians we get caught up in what kind of car we drive, the clothes we wear and the houses we live in. Our success status can even be defined by where we are in the leadership ladder at church.
When we grow to the point of real spiritual brokenness we move beyond success to significance. This means that we realize that the only lasting thing that really matters at work are the people and not the profits or performance reviews.
For the first time in our lives all the things that used to be important no longer motivate us in light of eternity. We often ask ourselves a thousand years from now will this really matter. Now we have moved from Success to Significance to Surrender. The old juice is gone.
Now your career has become your calling. No, you do not need to quit your job and go to seminary because you are headed for Africa. You need to live your new Christian life right where you are with reckless abandon for the glory of God.
