I think we often create an artificial dichotomy in which we divide what is "spiritual" and what is “secular.” We don’t leave work to go do ministry. Our work is the best opportunity we have for living out our calling and for engaging in true ministry.

Questions: 1. Should I do what I want or what God wants me to do? 2. How can I build a name for myself without being egotistical? 3. I love selling real estate but feel like I should be doing more Godly work. 4. If God has a calling and purpose for me does that mean I have to be a pastor or missionary? 5. I feel guilty because the work I’m most passionate about is not Godly.
