Why it matters that the Bible makes me better at work
God is excited about making you important.
If you:
want to know that in your 'secular' work you are doing something God wants you to:
want others to know God truly is valuable in your work (= witnessing)
want to know how God and your work relate
God gives you two advantages:
Jesus is IN you implanting God's lifestyle principles in you- so you do what you should do no matter what you are doing
The Holy Spirit is IN you guiding and enabling you to do these things
Then you know:
the right thing to do involves your job
God sees and will reward you
what you do really counts
You MATTER
You get:
↑ significance
↑ peace
When you do things God’s ways God is happy. The boss is happier. You are happier.
My job is to simplify the difficult process of you discovering Who You Are to God, and Why Your Work Matters. Questions wait for your PERSONAL ANSWERS as you explore your PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with God.
We are simply going to look at 28 things God values in your work. These make you important to God while you work. And everyone is the better for it. God, your business, your boss, your family, you.
28 Ways the Bible Makes Me Better at Work does not teach the 28 ways, it guides you to see how the Bible has shown you the ways God has already shown you or will show you over time.
God gave Adam and Eve a mundane, secular job- tend a garden! King David was a shepherd. The Apostle Paul made tents. What made them significant at work? These 28 things among others. (We have a bigger society today, so the list is a bit bigger now.) What makes me significant? These things, for one.
I certainly wondered how I was important to God as I hauled trash, cleaned toilets, assembled bicycles. I figured it out as I went. This might speed it up for you.
These 28 ways honor God. Honoring God in these ways makes you important to God. Your secular mundane job gives you a reason to exist.
In these 28 ways God and your work mix. You will know why you have to do “secular” work to survive. You will be comfortable doing secular work, knowing God is pleased.
God notices little things. Jesus saw a woman make a teeny tiny donation at the temple and now she is famous around the world.
God told you to do these 28 Ways. He pays attention to these in your life. Do these 28 Ways and you are doing what God cares about. Where do you do these things? In your secular work.
You aren’t alone in this. God gives you spiritual gifts to help out. He gives you the Bible to teach you. He gives you the Holy Spirit to guide you. If you do this course in a table of 4 you have peers to help. If your boss is involved, he might mentor you.
This is not something for non-Christians. It does apply to them. The Bible has not made them better at work. You have an advantage over them. You have God using His Word to make you better at work.
This is something for YOU. There are questions waiting for your PERSONAL ANSWERS. These show how the Bible makes You Better At Work. They show how You Get Purpose At Work.

This comes in the form of journals.
I did not manipulate the info in the journals to be all the same length per page. I'm not interested in distorting the info so the length will all be the same.
I did not manipulate the journals to be all the same length.
I did not dumb down the info. Some of it is hard to comprehend. Take in what you can, learn the rest later. I 'only' spent 3,000 hours in the little book of 1 John in the original Greek to learn the ideas in the God WANTS You course. I understand it taking time to learn ideas.
There is space for you to write down- and find answers to- your own personal questions.
There is space for the pastor to give his input. This is important.
There is some more info that does not fit the journal style at all. It can be found in the books Jesus N Me and God WANTS You, depending on which journal you are going through.
Satan's Goals is not in journal style. It is a novel with a lot of historical info.
Hey, Boss!
Have you ever wondered how to help your employees understand they ar e serving God in their job?
Do you want to encourage employees to see value in their work, not just from the job done but from bringing glory to God?
And how this is true?
Have you ever wanted to encourage your employees to work with higher ethics? Higher motivation? More enthusiasm?
Or wanted them to have a feeling of significance from their job?
Have they wondered?
Use 28 Ways and tell me what you think.
They get assurance of signicance and you get better employees.
Benefits
know why your secular job matters to God
know 28 reasons you exist*
Feel significant
professional development
personal development
* My course Jesus N Me covers the one central underlying reason you exist.
Commitment
If you are going to really gain from this course you must make a commitment to participate and answer the questions. The biggest value from this training will come from putting these ideas into action.
You will need to focus. Take a 4 minute break before you start to deal with distractions so you can focus. This way you will tell yourself that you are serious about wanting to know what God values in your work.
You CAN do this!
Layout
You have 3 opportunities with each chapter:
analyze the verses that teach you how God wants you to act
answer questions so you have PERSONAL ANSWERS on how you act
if you are working with others, get feedback
The goal is NOT that you memorize the list of 28 Ways. That would be ridiculous. You will think through them and the verses and see how God has implanted them into you. These are an inherent part of you as you encounter situations when they are needed. You will act even more purposefully on what you have thought through. Like driving a car. You know what to do, and you do it.
If you want to remember something, simply remember this:
Love one another as I have loved you- Jesus.
You can skip over parts, rearrange the order, even add to the course.
You can do table of 4 meetings- at work, home, church. Instructions are near the end.
As mentioned before, if you working in a table of 4 you have peers to help. If your boss is involved, he might mentor you. If interest appears we might form an online community to work together.
Basic ideas
God has things He wants us to do, and we learn about those from the Bible.
If I do the work God wants me to do God will be pleased and I will be blessed.
When employees see value in their work (other than just getting a paycheck while making their boss rich) they do the job better.
Extra!
The 1000 words project : Write 1000 words on how the Bible makes you better at work (instructions found with the Tables of 4 info below).
God knows how much of the course you have done. Each time you complete 10 sections feel free to download one Wall Art. You will find the Wall Art at -- coming soon.

About the Author
I’m a writer. I write books. But I don’t remember why I started this material. And set it aside as just a pile of notes a few years ago. And started it again from scratch, and had fewer notes, and set it aside. I do know I was prompted by God to finally finish it. I wasn’t worried about it getting finished, but He was. I couldn’t really get it going, until I found the original notes. Then it actually came out better than I expected. Someone needs 14 Ways the Bible Makes Me Better at Work. Is that you? Someone need 14 Ways the Bible Gives Me Purpose at Work. Is that you?
Jesus in my heart makes me valuable
ValuableMe- I am a bonafide headed-to-Heaven purpose-loaded person God is delighted to see.
I invite you to be one, too.
I help you see you the way God sees you and see how to improve so He sees you with delight
People often want shortcuts
In some areas you don't need shortcuts. You need to know the right path to take.
One of those areas is peace. The ultimate peace is peace with God. This peace is so great it is there even in the midst of gre at trials. There is no shortcut to this peace. There is a right path. I help you find that path.
Knowing Jesus is not a quickie 3 minute relationship.
This is a serious Bible study
With REAL ANSWERS.
For 3 minute fake answers you will have to look elsewhere.
Another area people don't need a shortcut is in finding signicance in life. The ultimate, and only permanent, signicance is found in how God views you. I help people see how God sees you, and how to improve so he sees you with (greater) delight. I help you find the path to real, permanent significance. Including at work.
May God bless you as you explore Who You Are IN Him.
