In YOUR Workplace

[MorningGlory]

Yikes! This thread has been dormant for eleven years! I have to say I'm not sure what the OP is even about.

It is kinda dusty but the topic is still relevant. Our walk in the workplace.

How do others see us? Do our actions reveal our beliefs?

Do we stand out or do we simply blend in?

Wow! Good job of explaining that one, man. It's an interesting topic. I work in a mostly Christian workplace and I make my beliefs known. One of our programmers is an ordained minister and he posts a new Scripture verse daily on his dry-erase board. I have a daily Scripture calendar in my office. Such things are encouraged and smiled upon by management. I consider myself blessed to work in that environment.

Jam 3:13 ¶ Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

1Th 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

2Ti 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

When I first converted I ran amuck slapping everyone in the face with the gospel during company time anytime I saw fit parading around with the idea that God is God so therefore everyone ought to respect him regardless of whose time/stuff it was as all was God's. I had no idea just how much damage I was doing in the process.

Jhn 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.

It has been my experience as I have grown a bit that Jesus is in me and draws whom he wants to speak to unto me then gives me words to say unto them. At work, I simply seek to work and on breaks I sit quietly in the break room with my bible open in front of me reading. Often times others want to know what I am doing. Some come to 'share' a word with me considering me open to hear. I have had much success in repairing the previously done damage. I suppose it was Gods intent for me to go about as a fool in the beginning and then let others see the changes he would make in me over the years. Only God knows for sure. Today I enjoy bearing witness of his power in my changed life everyday I work.

Peace.

Yes,if a person trys to cram their faith down a person's throat who does not want to hear it they will be even more turned off by God.

For those who do not want to hear it we give them to God.Only God can change a heart.

I totally agree, Bopeep.

Everyone where I work know I am a Christian. It's quite amusing that they will say "excuse my language" every time they are about to swear in front of me.

They know I am a Christian because there are things I have simply refused to be a part of at times. Like an official "joint faith day" for the Park in which I work (we are big into community stuff), in which I refused to take part (it involved some African "churches" that still sacrifice chickens and goats). I made my feelings known and was excused from the set up and managing of the day.

Wow - I have never heard the term "dry-erase board" .....

I think it's the same as our "white board" in Aus.
