Colossians 3:22-4:1
I read a story about an Indian who walked into a cafe w/ a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He said to the waiter, ''Me want coffee.'' The waiter said, ''Sure chief, coming right up''. The Indian then downed the coffee, threw the manure into the air, and blasted the bucket w/ the shotgun before walking out.

The heart of this series is based on Paul's prayer that we would be filled w/ the knowledge of God's will so that we would walk worthy of the Lord and live in such a way that it would put a smile on God's face.
After giving us a doctrinal statement of what it means to have a relationship w/ God, Paul shows us the discernable differences b/w having a cultural faith and a committed faith. Last week we looked at a committed faith in the most challenging arena - the home. Today, Paul is going to address what a committed faith looks like in the workplace.
Did you know that before you retire, you will have invested nearly 100k hours on the job? So it's critical to not only enjoy what you do for a living, but to learn God's expectation on your life on your mission field. For whatever job you have, G ...
