“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?" ~ Luke 6:46
Integrity in the workplace is rapidly deteriorating. How frustrating it is to deal with an individual who is completely careless about the needs of a customer, the concerns of coworkers, or even the desires of their employer. Yet, they fully expect to receive their full pay at the end of the pay-period.
But, oh how often this very same attitude is prevalent in the church... those who proclaim the name of Christ and are yet completely careless about the needs of their fellowman, are judgmental toward the struggles of their fellow-Christian, and even attempt to lie to God about the fruitfulness of their ministry. And yet, these very "Christians" fully expect to be blessed by God as they cry out to Him in prayer. It has become so obvious that the world has a greater impact on the church than the impact that the church has on the world.
It's time we take a serious look at the foundation of the church and rebuild on a true and solid foundation of obedience to Christ!
"Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built." ~ Luke 6:47-48
