We closed out the work week with Donna Clute from New Life Solutions and a show centered around the premise of Wayne Grudem’s book, Business for the Glory of God. 

Can be business be done for God’s Glory?  Or is it morally neutral? (hint, hint… its NOT). If we take the perspective that life was created originally by God to be good, then we need to apply that across all areas of life - including how we do business. Today we talk about how to make work worship… rather than worshiping work.
