Remember your wedding day? With a few notable exceptions, most will describe the weeks before, during and after the ceremony as one of the most exciting times of their lives.
But, then what happened? Where went the passion, excitement and adventure of it all? Is marriage destined to have the shelf life of a loaf of bread, growing stale and moldy as each day passes?
The Terrible Truth About Christians
Posted by Michael K. Reynolds in Christian Living, Evangelism, Exploring Faith on December 31st, 2009
Christians really have the unique ability to drive people nuts. Most other folks of faith are pretty good about keeping to themselves and staying out of other people’s business. But the same can’t be said of us Holy Rolling, Bible Thumpers.
The reality is there truly is a diamond hidden amongst all of that bothersome coal, and if you can somehow get past our many shortcomings, you’ll discover our hearts are in the right place.
So before you give up on us completely, here are a few helpful things you should know about Christians.
The Chosen Instrument

As can often be the case, one of the low points of my Christian life came immediately after a spiritual high. At the time I was playing guitar for a praise team and we had just finished leading some riveting worship as a guest band for a neighboring local church.
A longtime business client of mine who was a regular attendee of the church came up to me right afterwards and with much enthusiasm shared, “Wow. That was so great to see you up there. I didn’t know you were a Christian.” (Yes. You could actually hear the air surging out of my high and holy balloon.)

So many Christians believe Satan’s lie that they can’t share their faith at work. Many believing business owners and employees use this false assumption as an all-too-ready excuse for creating a wall between their church life and work life. Business owners will quickly cite fear of insulting clients and employees will share concerns about losing their job or impeding their ability to climb the ladder.
Although it’s starkly different in other areas of the world, few people in America ever lose business or jobs because of their faith. More often it’s because they are not a valued vendor or employee. In the rare case when someone is impacted negatively solely because of their Christian faith, we must ask ourselves if we believe more in God’s favor or the laws of economics.
Can God Work At Your Business?

Is it really possible to build a business or organization which provides for your family, honors God, and results in life changes and spiritual growth in your employees, customers and vendors lasting for all eternity? Absolutely.
What if you don’t own a business, or aren’t the CEO. Can your place of work still be your place of worship? Definitely. In fact, you’re called and uniquely qualified to make it your mission field. But how do we do this?
