As an activity that dominates much of our time in life, work is an extremely important area to think clearly and biblically about, especially in terms of our relationships in that arena.
Followers of Christ are to have a compelling character in the context of a "crooked and perverse" culture, with a clear sense of calling as agents of the King, holding fast the timeless and powerful word of God, as we look toward the second coming of Christ.
Ken Boa shifts to practical application of his teaching on life's purpose by focusing on some personal principles and values that help us review and remind ourselves of our purpose as humans, as believers, and as individuals.
Every person has an ultimate purpose, a universal purpose, and a unique purpose. A life of integrity unites these purposes, so that our daily life and activities align with, or flow out from, our primary calling to know God and be conformed to the image of His Son.
Ken Boa discusses additional principles of stewardship, including stewardship of our relationships with others, and moves into a discussion of our purpose in life. This teaching is based on chapter 20 in Ken's book Conformed to His Image.
Ken Boa introduces the final section of this series: Stewardship and Purpose. Today, stewardship is even more vital and challenging because we have additional time (longevity), options, and resources than previous generations. Whether young or old, we should seek to live wisely and not squander our time or resources in self-centered living.
