"In my former book, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven". One of the most important aspects of life that Jesus taught was the importance of prayer, of connecting to 'Our Father'.
"In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen." Acts 1:1
Every workplace is a very spiritually complex place. Staff bring their god with them to the work. Christians are the most careless in knowing how to deal with the situations and circumstances they find themselves in.
Lent is not in the Bible but let us use this opportunity as a spiritual M.O.T.
Christian workplace ministry is very sensitive - as we live and work for Jesus we can attract the enemy who wants to shut us down. Christian Workplace Groups need a strong bond between the members so they can grow strong.
