The New Work as Worship Network site with RightNow
Seven
years ago a conversation began here on this Business as Mission Network
site. It was a conversation that started because too many Christians
spend a great deal of time at work and yet they don't see how their work
intersects with their faith.
Over
the years the blog posts sparked many conversations that have become a
regular part of our DNA with the 75 people on our RightNow team. Today,
one of our deep passions at RightNow is helping people realize that
there isn't a divide between the sacred and secular parts of our lives
and that working with our God-given skills can be an act of worship.
We
might spend 2 hours of our week at the church building or in a small
group. This kind of worship is biblical and a vital rhythm in the life
of a Christian. But during the other 166 hours of our week, we have just
as much potential to worship the God who created us. Our time at church
and small group should launch us out into the world-which includes the
marketplace-prepared to take the hope of Jesus with us.
Currently,
there are pockets of churches and ministries promoting a part of the
work as worship message. Some focus on how to give money as a business
person, while others focus on how to do evangelism in the workplace or
build a business overseas. Some focus on business leaders, others on
employees. Our RightNow team is committed to creating content for
business leaders and the Church that champions a holistic viewpoint of
work and faith.
So today the BusinessasMissionNetwork.com
site is merging with our new WorkasWorshipNetwork.org
site
to put a bigger dent in the sacred and secular divide by having this
conversation on a much bigger platform. You'll continue to find the same
news updates but today you can check out 40+ different video stories
and illustrations as well as updates on our growing Work as Worship
Conference. In order to communicate a complete and biblical picture of
work and faith, we've defined 8 tenants of the Work as Worship message
that inform all the content we create in this area, including our Work
as Worship conference and video resources. You can read the full list
here (www.workasworshipnetwork.org/what-is)
In the next 30 minutes you'll be getting an email from work@rightnow.org highlighting
the new site. So check your mail filters and make sure it gets through.
It will be the first of our monthly email updates from the new site.
