Marketplace spiritual guide

“LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?” (Ps 15:1).


In February 2001 Sales and Marketing magazine did a survey and found that among those surveyed:

  • 58% cheat on expense reports
  • 50% work a second job on company time
  • 36% rush closed deals through accounting before they were really closed
  • 22% list a “strip bar” as a restaurant on an expense report
  • 19% give a kickback to a customer*

If Psalm 15 were the core value of every business plan and purpose statement and reviewed with every employee before hiring, the workplace would be a very different place. What type of person can live in the presence of God?

The psalmist tells us:
“He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken” (Ps 15:2-5).

Are you blameless in your approach to your work life? Are you truthful in all your dealings? Do you treat customers, vendors and fellow employees as your neighbor? Do you say what you do truthfully and do what you say? Do you follow through even if the outcome may not be positive? Will you lend money without usury to a friend and refuse a bribe? If you can say yes to these questions then you are a Psalm 15 Kingdom minded person, you can dwell on God’s Holy hill.

Friend, pray that God makes this psalm a part of your life and begin to ask God to show you how to live this chapter in all you do.  
職場屬靈指南
耶和華阿、誰能寄居你的帳幕．誰能住在你的聖山. (詩 15:1)

2001年2月，銷售和營銷“雜誌做了調查，結果發現，受訪者中：
58％作弊開支報告
50％在的工作時間從事第二份工作
36％急於通過會計關閉的交易，然後才真正關閉
22％在開支報告”情色場所”以餐廳來報帳
19％給予回扣給客戶 *

如果詩篇 15是每個企業的計劃和目的聲明的核心價值，並與每個僱員在聘用前審查，工作場所將是一個非常不同的地方。什麼類型的人可以住在神的同在？
詩人告訴我們：
“就是行為正直、作事公義、心裡說實話的人, 他不以舌頭讒謗人、不惡待朋友、也不隨夥毀謗鄰里, 他眼中藐視匪類、卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人．他發了誓、雖然自己喫虧、也不更改,他不放債取利、不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人、必永不動搖。“（詩 15:2-5）。

你在你的方法，您的工作生活無可指責嗎？你在所有的交易都是真實的嗎？你對待客戶，供應商和其他員工作為你的鄰居嗎？你說你做什麼如實地和你說什麼？你循即使結果未必是積極的嗎？你沒有高利貸的錢借給朋友，並拒絕賄賂？如果你能對這些問題說”是”，那麼你是詩篇 15國度職場宣教士，你將住在上帝的聖山。
朋友，祈求上帝使這詩篇成為你生活的一部分，，並開始問上帝向你啟示如何活出榮耀祂的生命。

Spiritual Parenting Seminar was a success!

Posted by mpdgroup in Events

Larry was with us last weekend for a 2-day seminar on the topic of Spiritual Parenting & effective leadership. This is the core of who we are at MPD group – that each one of us is called to go and disciple nations! This is the second year we host this event and nothing beats listening to testimony after testimony on how people’s lives have been impacted by others who took the time investing in them. Yes, Spiritual Parenting is a long shot – no immediate result, not much thrill from performance, no applauses. It’s very similar if not at all alike raising your own children and spending a lot of time thinking about how to raise them and the best possible ways (or so we think) to teach the young ones. Headache and heartbreak can be expected but the reward is just so worth it!

Having become a parent (how very recently!) of a 3-month old, I (Annie) have come to taste what it means to overcome one’s flesh and sacrifice what I want for the sake of my child’s benefit. A simple example would be a 3AM feeding followed by a 6AM morning call :) However, no words come close to describing the thrill of seeing my child growing, day after day, inch by inch…

I hope this would be something you’ll give it a try just like I’ve done so. To invest in the next generation in whatever areas of life you desire. Ask the Lord to give you grace.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)

So what do you say?
