Share Your Passion in a Searching Marketplace
December 5th, 2006 | Michael Pink
The apostle Paul exhorts us to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we were called. Did you know that being called into the marketplace was a worthy vocation where you are more likely to reach people than at church on Sunday? Most of them are not planning on being in church on Sunday to hear the good news, so how do we reach them?
Evangelism is simply a transference of passion; a passion for Jesus. Do you have that passion? If you don’t, you might need to pursue Him for awhile, before you pursue others. Assuming you have that passion, look to see where God is working and join Him. By that I mean, look for those who are looking for love in all the wrong places. Look for those whose life is not making sense to them right now. Look for those who are hurting, questioning, searching. They are everywhere. In fact, I am convinced that God is calling our generation back to Himself.
There is a restlessness in their hearts and they are searching for the Kingdom of God, but don’t know it. They are blind and need the benefit of your vision. They cannot find their way to you or to God. They hear Him calling, but cannot see Him. They are everywhere in the marketplace. Take your vocation as a calling and lead people to the One who restores sight and gives vision.

A true passion for Jesus will overflow into EVERY aspect of your life. I have found many times(unfortunately!) that the “ruts” I have found myself in are most times the result of not being close to God and thus my passon for Christ has waned. Thank you, Michael, for such a powerful spiritual vitamin this morning!!

The American Workplace is the largest mission field in the world today! I appreciate Michael’s current series and encourage us all to become increasing strong in our faith and willingness to share with our friends and associates at work. Most of us spend more time at work than we do at home; and certainly more time at work than in church or involved in “church” activities. As I have heard it stated: we must love our workplace associates enough to earn the right to share Christ with them. Then we can build a bridge from our heart to theirs, and lead them across to Christ. Merry Christmas from Mississippi.
