"The largest mission force that the church has is mobilised by God every day of the week meeting the world in the workplace but the church does very little deliberately to equip and support Christians for their life in the workplace." This understanding is not new. The concept of the whole people of God being engaged in mission rather than select groups within churches has been theological orthodoxy for some time now."
Mackenzie says those who struggle in connecting their work to their faith are usually"factory workers manufacturers many business people and those involved in commercial or industrial work; those who feel somewhat removed from meeting people at their particular point of need. "
"Many of these people also feel embroiled in a harshly competitive environment. A similar struggle is experienced by people who are involved in primarily technical jobs where they are utilising practical skills rather than being in direct contact with other people. People often feel somewhat disconnected from God while they're performing those kind of functions."
In response to the question do we as Christians take God with us into the non-Christian world or is God already present and at work in the world and we go to join God in the work that he has already begun?"I subscribe more to the second approach than the first. Which means that God is not only present in the workplace when somebody speaks about God but God is present and at work there all the time. So Everyday Spirituality is really about trying to expand people's vision of God and inviting them to explore the question: How can we work to gain a greater sense of connectedness to the God who is present everywhere in every circumstance?
