Everything about our work should display and demonstrate the very work that God is doing in our hearts, minds, and souls. I like to see it this way: as a Jesus Followers, everything about you should be changing, and everyone around you should be benefiting from your faith, whether they believe in Jesus or not.

We are God‘s representative here on earth, showing others who God is through the work that He has done in our lives. We are his hands and feet to the nations. God wants everybody to know how much He loves them and cares for them. Romans 5:8 says, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” God loved that coworker you find mildly annoying, that troublesome client, and that boss who micromanages you so much that He sent his only son to die for them!

No matter which part of the body of Christ you are, you are essential, and your role is significant. No one part of the human body is independent of the other parts of the body. We, as humans, tend to diminish some parts of the body in their significance because they are less visible, but God doesn’t; every part is completely necessary for the functioning of the whole. So which part are you?

The Church is everywhere: in our neighborhoods, in our workplaces and of course in the 4 walls building we also call a church. If Jesus had wanted us to build a bunch of buildings, he probably would have downloaded a few blueprints for us.

When the Body of Christ is outside the 4 walls church the body of Christ is unified in reaching the workplaces of this country. Stop thinking there is a little “c” church or parachurch, we are THE Church and it was Jesus’ idea.
