The Shoe Shine Glory
One of the amazing things about God is He teaches you in such unique ways and through the most unexpected teachers. My men’s Bible study learned this firsthand when we were joined about six months ago by a 68-year-old man name Ben.
Ben became a part of our group right after spending his prior three decades in federal prison. He was introduced to us by a Pastor in prison ministry who was concerned about Ben’s transition to the outside world and wanted our group of men to support him through the process. We embraced the challenge, looking forward to sharing our wisdom as Ben began his new life.
The Terrible Truth About Christians
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.)
Clutch Time
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.
