— “Your workplace is not just a job site — it’s your mission field.”
📖 Summary
A Christian’s career choice must be guided not by salary or status,
but by calling, holiness, and purpose.
While working for a Christian-run company can be a blessing,
it’s not automatically godlier.
What matters is how faithfully you represent Christ,
not merely where you work.
1️⃣ Introduction | “What is a good job, really?”
The world defines success by income and stability,
but Scripture defines it by faithfulness and stewardship.
Every vocation is sacred when lived before God’s face (Coram Deo).
2️⃣ Biblical Foundation | Work for God’s Glory
📘 Colossians 3:23–24 (ESV) — “Work heartily, as for the Lord.”
📘 1 Corinthians 7:17 (ESV) — “Lead the life that the Lord has assigned.”
📘 Matthew 5:13–16 (ESV) — “Let your light shine before others.”
→ Work is worship; your desk can be your altar.
3️⃣ Theological Insights | Vocation as Holy Calling
📜 John MacArthur — “Godly work displays divine order in a fallen world.”
📜 R.C. Sproul — “Every workplace where a believer stands becomes holy ground.”
📜 John Piper — “Your work should make God look valuable.”
📜 Tim Keller — “Work is the primary means by which God renews creation.”
📜 Westminster Shorter Catechism Q.1 — “Man’s chief end is to glorify God.”
4️⃣ Christian-Owned Companies: Blessing or Illusion?
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Shared values, ethical culture | Risk of hypocrisy or legalism |
| Spiritual freedom | May limit external influence |
| Trust and integrity | Not automatically godly |
| Faith-community environment | Faith can become formal, not living |
→ The label “Christian company” means little
if Christ isn’t truly Lord over its business practices.
5️⃣ Application | Four Vocational Discernment Questions
1️⃣ Does this work align with God’s moral will?
2️⃣ Does it respect human dignity and God’s image?
3️⃣ Does it fit my God-given gifts and calling?
4️⃣ Can I glorify God and serve others through it?
6️⃣ Conclusion |
It’s better to be a Christian in a secular company
than a secular soul in a Christian company.
“The issue is not where you work, but whom you serve there.” — Revito
Every workplace becomes sacred
when Christ rules the worker’s heart.
Faith. Work. Renewal. — Revito
