A college ministry veteran said to me recently that he felt we were not doing a good job talking to students about God using their “secular” vocation. In our emphasis on encouraging students to be missionaries or to go plant a church, we are leaving out something.
He says that something is how God can use each of us in every day work places. God does not want all of us to be missionaries and that we don’t just work to make money to support those who are “doing God’s will”.
Being a Christian teacher is not a second class calling. Being a Christian at work is serious and wonderful!
Are you talking to your students about it?
