I Pray For My Team
Christianity continues to take
criticism in this modern day where a fickle and ever-changing society tries to
dictate what is acceptable to talk about and what is not. Religion is often
part of the latter, and people of belief can be attacked for being who they
are, seemingly without consequence.
I believe some of this comes from the confusion that if you are a Christian you should always be perfect. And then when they see the failings of Christian’s all around, it makes it easier to attack the religion instead of focus on the behavior. Yet, to be a Christian is to recognize that you are not perfect, to recognize that you will fail, to recognize that will may make mistakes even catastrophic mistakes throughout your life, yet you can turn to the teachings of God to learn from the mistakes and turn failings into learning opportunities for yourself and for others.
I don’t want to be as silent
Christian simply because it’s not socially acceptable or because I have to be
cautious with the way I operate my business. I don’t want to hide my faith
because I’ve made many mistakes in my life that were not aligned with my
beliefs. I no longer fear the attacks of my faith because of my past failings. I
cannot change the mistakes I’ve made in the past, I cannot change the way
others view me, I cannot make others believe my faith, and I cannot change the
climate of the business world that continuously tries to separate the secular
from the religious. But, I can pray for my team.
