Five Ways to Represent Christ in the Workplace
1. Pray for coworkers and clients--substitute prayer for faultfinding.
2. Show the character of Christ with loving behavior toward others. Letting the reality of God show in our actions can transform relationships.
3. Practice humility toward others, and avoid self-righteous moralism. Christian righteousness is never faked, never legalistic, never arrogant toward others. Accept criticism and learn from it, benefit from it and deal with it effectively. Critics may correctly identify an area in your performance that needs work.
4. Maintain the highest moral and ethical standards of behavior and attitudes. Keep watch on your own behavior rather than blaming and censuring others.
5. Maintain high ethical standards. Ethical conflicts often emerge in the workplace.

Faith is not born at the negotiating table where we barter our gifts in exchange for God's goodness. Faith is not an award given to the most learned. It's not a prize given to the most disciplined. It's not a title bequeathed to the most religious.
Faith is a desperate dive out of the sinking boat of human effort and a prayer that God will be there to pull us out of the water. The apostle Paul wrote about this kind of faith: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9.
The supreme force in salvation is God's grace.
