Title: Your Job is your Ministry
Topic: Work and Ministry

Discussed by Bob Dickie
with Crown Financial Ministries (www.Crown.org)

Part 1 of 2

Luke10:2 “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”

The issue at hand today is: What are you doing to share the Gospel every day? Serving full-time in ministry is great and we need many people around the globe who are willing to share the Gospel in this manner. But those of us who have full-time jobs can be doing God’s work, too, right in our own office buildings!

Robert Dickie is the President of Crown Financial Ministries. He believes that some people just aren’t cut out for full-time ministry. “We have a generation of leaders who have encouraged members of their congregation to go into full-time ministry to serve the Lord forgetting that the very place where they could serve is in the business world,” Mr. Dickie says.

There are many Scripture references which describe the “real jobs” of people who ministered for the Kingdom. Listen in as Robert Dickie discusses these and why we should use them as guidance in our own lives. “However God has called us, as long as we are in alignment, that’s where we are going to make the biggest impact,” he says.

Robert also believes there is an opportunity many people bypass out of fear: starting their own business. He does warn that not everyone can handle this type of endeavor, but those who can should! Yes, even in this troubled economy! Imagine the impact you could have on thousands of people, if not more, simply by supplying a service.

Robert Dickie believes that those in full-time ministry are essential to the Kingdom of God. We need people across the globe ministering to the needy and those who would otherwise never hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. In fact, Robert’s father has been a Baptist preacher for nearly forty years! He knows the importance of ministers and missionaries and non-profits.

However, the problem lies in people who, with the best intentions, are not really called into ministry by God, but by feelings. “Many people go into ministry with this idea that working for a non-profit is a utopian environment of helping others and happiness,” Robert says. Oftentimes, working for a non-profit or other ministry is more difficult and more stressful than a job in the private sector!

So, how can you make a difference? First, Robert Dickie encourages us to be good stewards of the money God has given us. Yes, tithe. Give sacrificially back to God and also to others. Listen in as Robert describes the sad reality that hundreds of missionaries are being sent home because they do not have the money to continue their work.

We can also be bold at work, proclaiming Christ’s love through our words and actions. It is important to show others who we are and what we believe in our daily activities. “It is not just about profits; it’s about impacting the community,” Robert says.
