Whatever your hand finds to do,
do it with all your might.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
I'm just maverick enough to say that I think fewer
Christians ought to be going into the ministry and more should be going into
business and into occupations that have nothing to do with the vocational
Christian service.
I don't see life divided into public and private, secular
and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God.
My hope is to see . . . a group of Christians who will
infiltrate our society---in fact, our entire world---with a pure, beautiful
message of grace and honesty in the marketplace.
Recently I had a delightful talk with a keen-thinking young
man . . . at our church. As we visited, I asked him about his future plans.
"Well, I've just graduated from law school," he
said. When I asked about how he hoped to use his training, he said, "I
want to be a man of integrity who practices law."
What refreshing words! They reflected the right priority.
