Work Principles by Pastor Ty

We need to look to Jesus to get our priorities straight -the eternal, not the temporal. John 6:27 says, "Do not work for food that spoils". We can see His example in 2 Corinthians 8:9- He became poor, so we might be rich.



God wants to assure us that He will provide for our needs. 2 Corinthians 9:10-13 - 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.

To the extent we carry our Christian principles into the work world, our work becomes a Christian ministry. This gives work new meaning and dignity. We can’t, on the other hand, claim to be Christians if our Christianity is only a one day a week affair. God does care what you do Monday through Friday whether you are an employee or employer.

May we work for the Lord every day.
