Workplace Apologetics

In: Developing Christian Servant Leadership

Abstract

As Christian servant leaders, God blesses us with unconditional love, grace, and mercy. God meets us where we are, whether it is at the height of heaven, the pit of hell, or somewhere in between. This is a wonderful and comforting Kingdom principle, given our physical, spiritual, and emotional wanderings. Wherever and whenever we call upon the name of the Lord and draw close to him, in agony, in ecstasy, in the midst of the mundane, to soothe our scars, or to celebrate our “crown” moments, Jesus draws close to us. In the spiritual realm, God is never far from us. He surrounds us with his angels, and fills us with his Holy Spirit. The tangible recognition and experience of God’s presence is conditional, however, on a whole host of factors including our obedience, our willingness to forgive, and our transparency. When we hide our weaknesses, sins, doubts and insecurities, we are prisoners of our conscience and the internal condemnatory dialogue.
