Questions before we have the discussion?

How is one different from the other?

What about the industry / work profession?

Are they governed by the position you have?

How does your faith play a part with each of these?

I believe…

They are different… but they are influenced by each other

Very good at one and continuing to learn about the other

Each one is subject to personal/corporate values

Are influenced by industry/work profession

Are not governed by the position you have

Your faith, or lack thereof does play a part

Integrating personal and professional life

Alignment of core values Continue to remind yourself that your talents are God given Be transparent Recognize when you fail, be open about it (be vulnerable, be

human) Don’t take anyone for granted (all employees are volunteers) Let your faith be known by your actions, relationships and

organization that you support (look at your checkbook)

Colossians 1:9-12

9 So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. 11 We also pray that you will be strengthened will all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, 12 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.

Picture your homecoming, the moment when all of

eternity and all the angels and saints pause for you. Heaven will hush as you

stand before your Savior to hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” And then heaven will erupt

with welcome and celebration as you accept

the incorruptible crown that Jesus is reserving for you.
