This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today we continue with our series called Doing Business with God.

In this series, Rick helps you understand why you work,

what you should be working for, and how God can use you in your workplace.

Right now here's Pastor Rick with the final part of a message called

the Purpose of Work. Now we come to the Sixth Purpose, which is the highest purpose of all,

and this is the purpose not of identity or

necessity or charity or credibility or maturity. It is the purpose of eternity. And

this is thinking long term about what your job's

implication is. Eternity is I use my job to build God's kingdom. I use my job to build God's kingdom. You can use your work to bring

glory to God. You can use your career to bring glory to God. You can use your

skills, you can use your business, you can use

your workplace to further God's kingdom. So how do I do that? Oh there are lots of ways. Lots of ways you can use your business to further God's kingdom.

One way is to use the contacts that your businesses have to spread the good news and to tell other people about the good news to pass it on.

This is why we have the peace, PEAC and assist the poor, using business people to go out and

teach businesses which will assist the poor to create jobs.
