The Lord has been blessing me by bringing men of God into my work.  In my previous life, business meetings started with easy banter and the "getting to know you" conversations.  Then one person would start the meeting with, "Lets get started" Or, "Where are we with...?"



Recently I had a dinner meeting with three men I had never met.  Early in the meeting I tentatively used the words "faith" and "thankfully been given gifts to..."  The elder gentleman said something like, "Hey are you one of those 'out-there' Christian guys?"  I immediately responded, "Absolutely!"  He replied, "Amen, so are we."  Before our meal at the restaurant he led us in prayer."   At the end of our meeting we prayed for wisdom and thanked the Lord for our fellowship.  Wow!  The closer we are to Him the closer he is to us.

I believe the Lord is giving me positive feedback and opportunities to learn how to express my faith in business. 

Also, when I do express my faith, my accountability and responsibility increases exponentially.  I become responsible and accountable to my Lord.  And that gives me motivation with peace of mind.

What do you do to express your faith in business?  I was afraid to (and still am in certain circumstances), but now, with encouragement I feel a bit bolder. 

 What do you do?  How do you handle it? Any help, or words of wisdom?PEACE

Closet Christians
Amen, brother... it is a great feeling to be yoked with other believers at work. In my work, the owner is a strong Christian, so it has been a blessing. I remember one day when we found out that one of our co-workers were battling cancer, one of our managers lead a group of us in prayer. It was a great feeling. There are more of us out there then we know, but many are what I call "closet christians". they are afraid to come out of the closet because they are afraid that it is going to change the way people see them. This really needs to stop. We need to take a stand for Christ, not Hide!!!
