Do It Heartily

Col 3:22-4:1

"Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven."

There is no slavery in our country, but in the workplace we are in subjection to a higher authority, a boss. So, we will apply some of Paul's teaching to that relationship. Since the Lord is always watching us, we are to work diligently even when the boss is not looking. One definition of integrity can be: what you do when no one is watching you. What is your quality of work when no one is watching? And whatever job you are expected to be doing at the moment, do it heartily, cheerfully, with all of your energy, as unto the Lord.

PPPP (the fourth P is for particulary): Why were the people that Paul was writing to descended from Anak? Because they were collosal.

Yes, I agree. Maybe you could provide us with some funny ones? We all need to laugh more.
