When Calvin taught the believers how to connect their faith with their "station in life," he was intentional and specific. As I mentioned last week, he advised bankers to not charge more than 4% interest, lest they fall into the sin of what the Bible calls "usury."
For Calvin, getting people "saved" was not the end game. It was a necessary first step, and Calvin knew there was a second and a third and a fourth. He understood believers are called to observe all that Christ commanded, and he recognized that this observation was to fully occupy our lives after we say "I do" to the Lord.
Leading people to say "the prayer" is great. But teaching them to observe [practice] Christ's commands is a big part of the Great Commission of Matthew 28 as well, and intentionality is needed.
May I encourage you to be more intentional about observing Christ's commands in your workplace today?
