But I have a followup question - why do you think a businessman or factory worker have a hard time finding a biblical purpose in his vocation?Every Square Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636924397725214300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-1156427134979884172006-08-24T08:45:00.000-05:002006-08-24T08:45:00.000-05:00Andre, Mueller's story is encouraging in some ways...Andre, Mueller's story is encouraging in some ways. But it also creates problems for me.<BR/><BR/>I can look at Mueller's life and say, "Oh, man, of course <I>he</I> was serving God. He helped thousands of <I>children</I>. His work was really a mission."<BR/><BR/>But what about people who have less acceptably "Christian" jobs? Can an editor serve God in his work as Mueller did? Can a factory worker? Can a rich and successful businessman? I believe they can, of course, but I'm always left wondering, what exactly would it look like?<BR/><BR/>As for meditation verses, I love <A HREF="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rom%2012;&version=65;" REL="nofollow">Romans 12:1-2</A> in <I>The Message</I>:<BR/><BR/>So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out.Mark Goodyearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515891157372544251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-1156376615540662602006-08-23T18:43:00.000-05:002006-08-23T18:43:00.000-05:00TriciaYou are right that much of life is lived in ...Tricia<BR/><BR/>You are right that much of life is lived in daily stuff. I think if we learn from George Mueller and practice being joyful in God, it'll make all the difference for us.

So much of life is lived in the daily "stuff" we all do and if we could maintain that attitude I am sure it would be sweeter and more purposeful.triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481923360086276931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-1156294649796513402006-08-22T19:57:00.000-05:002006-08-22T19:57:00.000-05:00I think there's a Sovereign Grace Church in St Pau...I think there's a Sovereign Grace Church in St Paul (Is that one of the "twins" in Twin Cities?) and also in Bloomington.Every Square Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636924397725214300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-1156293226613031692006-08-22T19:33:00.001-05:002006-08-22T19:33:00.001-05:00btw is there a Sovereign Grace church in Twin citi...btw is there a Sovereign Grace church in Twin cities?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945010948044311994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-1156293197891895292006-08-22T19:33:00.000-05:002006-08-22T19:33:00.000-05:00Hi Andre!
