Integrate Your Faith and Work

Whitney Hopler

Work consumes a great deal of time and energy, no matter what your job. It's a major part of your life, and a part that God wants to use. You don't have to be a professional minister to serve God through your work. By performing your job faithfully, you can bring glory to God through any profession. And in the process, you'll grow to love the work you do.
