Serving God Full Time
November 14, 2016
So many people tell me, "What I would really like to do is get out of this job and serve God full time." Have you ever thought that?
May God help me teach you today that if you are a Christian living in the Spirit, you are serving God full-time. Wherever you work—as long as it is an honorable occupation—you are serving God full-time. You are no less a minister because you wear a fast-food uniform. You are no less a teacher because you push a broom. You are no less a prophet because you fly an airplane.
We want to neatly divide life into the secular and the sacred. But God doesn't do that. Our work is to be the temple of our devotion to God, and it is to be the platform of our witness.
Colossians 3:17 says, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him."

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
