Thanks Brian, your comments are spot on. Like Mark above, I recently read Every Good Endeavour, and was invigorated and inspired as I think about what’s next in my work life.

In reply to Ruth. Thanks Ruth. We do distort things so easily, instead of seeing every situation as one in which God is with us and as an opportunity to live out the faith within us.

In reply to Mark Ash. Thanks Mark. It’s a great book, isn’t it? Every bit as relevant now as when it came out over a decade ago.

Your article helps to bring balance to lives. Us humans get things out of balance so quickly and your reminder helps reassess our attitudes and actions.
As always brilliant Brian, thanks.

Thanks Brian. I’m 2/3 the way through Tim Keller’s Every Good Endeavour – the most theologically rich, as well as real and practical thing I’ve read on the subject.

In reply to Lockie. Thanks Lockie. Your summary of what happens is true far too often. It’s sad, as it’s the opposite of the Jesus model of being incarnated, even if it’s difficult and costly.

Comment *Church centricity is such common practice these days. If you’re serving IN the church, it’s deemed your act of worship, and can be referred to as your calling. The faith journey even seems to be formulated as;
1) come to Christ.
2) be baptised
3) serve in church
It’s a comfortable place for so many folk, because it’s often visible, brings gratitude from others, and helps keep church services/events flowing, and bums on seats. I certainly encourage service within the walls, but as you’ve stated, the 3t question needs to be in the forefront when considering the impact.
Love your work, Brian.
