Diligent in your work – Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Diligent in your work – Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men (Colossians 3:23).

It is right for Christians to be diligent in business. They have good conscience that oils the wheels. “A merry heart does good, like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). A light heart makes easy work.

We don’t have to do exceptional things – Oswald Chambers

We don’t have to do exceptional things – Oswald Chambers

The “show business,” which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from our Lord’s conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.
