“The work of Beethoven and the work of a charwoman become spiritual on precisely the same condition, that of being offered to God. This does not, of course, mean that it is for anyone a mere toss-up whether he should sweep floors or compose symphonies. We are members of one body, but different members with his own vocation.”
— C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Do you think of yourself as a CFO, business officer, business manager, or administrator?
Or are you helping build something greater by serving well in your role?

What’s the Apostle Paul saying? Speak with authority. Serve powerfully.
Why? Because even the one who sweeps the floors brings glory to God.

“Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.
