How many of us have ever gotten up on Monday morning after an awesome night in God’s house on Sunday and thought… awe man, back to work? I know a lot of us at Lakeshore would desire to be able to serve God as a “full-time” vocation… and some of us may even be called to that. But what if He said “no, I have another plan for you”?

This was one of those mornings for me. I DID NOT want to go back to work. I felt uninspired to do my best, I was frustrated by the work that had piled up while I was on vacation… basically, I was pouting (are you kidding me, with so many people out of work, was I really pouting about having to work?).

During the middle of the day, I received an e-mail from my best friend and the last line simply read, “Every believer is called to full-time paid ministry – God just chooses to route our paychecks through different sources.” Okay, so this was my wake up call, and hopefully yours. His Word tells us to do everything as we would for Him, and we all know that doing our job means to seek and save that which is lost. You are a full-time paid minister at the factory, coffee shop, clothing store, office, or wherever it is that you pull a paycheck… do your job!
