Proverbs 21:21 (NLT) Whoever pursues godliness and unfailing love will find life, godliness, and honor.
Plato taught that moral thoughts are universal and that “the Good” can be attained through reason not through submission to Revelation. Submitting or Reasoning? We like the second: appeals to our ego.
Pursuing godliness (righteous living) and love (focus on others) in the workplace results in the kind of life that is attractive. The “work of the Lord” is always about love; therefore, we must speak the truth seasoned with grace. Speaking brutal truth is about us: our reasoning ability to see what is “right and true.” Honor results when we focus on the impact that truth will have on the hearer for the benefit of the Kingdom.
Pursue godliness bathed in love. Love drives personal repentance and fuels our pursuit. What fuels you?
