Christians In The Workplace

"Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ."
Philippians 2:27

One of the greatest hindrances to effectively communicate the Gospel of Christ to others is the way Christians act in their workplaces. Having worked for over 45 years in the health care profession, it was difficult many times to distinguish the Christians from the non Christians. In most situations the way they talked, the way they acted, the way they conducted themselves was the same as the non Christians. They did not stand out and most did not talk about their faith in any way during the time they were on the job. I feel that a Christian should be recognized where ever they go by their actions, by their speech, by their thoughtfulness and respect for others. They should not have to have a sign on their backs stating they are a Christian, but their words and their actions should reflect this. I am afraid that so many people are only Sunday morning Christians, and only take God with them to Church on Sunday, and leave Him at home when they go to work, to school, to the grocery store, or shopping at the mall with their friends. God should accompany a Christian where ever they go and in whatever they do. You cannot have Him only in your heart on Sunday during church, but He demands that you keep Him with you all during your day. This is not something that He wants you to do sometimes, but He commands you to do at all times. God must be part of your life every day, and not even for just a few minutes in the morning, but with you all during the day. If you are a Christian others need to see God in you at all times.
