?Taking you soul to work? ? Beautiful Purity (Chapter 21)

Taking your soul to workExperiencing whole-hearted love for God and neighbour is how Stevens and Ung describe the sort of purity that will counteract the struggle of lust and develop the fruit of love in our workplaces. ?

Such purity of heart looks like this:

  • Seeing God in all spheres of life (Psalm 24:3-4)
  • Experiencing God working through us (John 5:19,36)
  • ‘Willing’ one thing – singleness of heart and action (Jeremiah 32:39)
  • Living an undivided life (Psalm 86:11)
  • Being joined to God – ‘… loving God for who he is, no more, no less’

Unsurpisingly, the bible character chosen as an example or purity of heart was one of my favourites – Daniel. ?Having spent most of my working life in one or other sector of the public service, Daniel is one of my heroes – a lifetime of public service living out the command of Jeremiah (29:7) to, ‘… seek the peace and prosperity of the city.’?[You can listen to a sermon i preached recently on Daniel here] [Read more…] about ?Taking you soul to work? ?
