Superman on Sunday…Why Clark Kent on Monday? (Part 3)

In his book The Pursuit of God, A.W. Tozer states “One of the greatest hindrances to the Christian’s internal peace is the common habit of dividing our lives into two areas – the sacred and the secular. But this state of affairs is wholly unnecessary. The sacred – secular antithesis has no foundation in the New Testament.” Larry Peabody also addresses this issue in his book Secular Work is Full-Time Service. He explains that “In the New Testament God does not depict the Christian life as divided into sacred and secular parts. Rather, he shows it as a unified life, one of wholeness, in which we may single-mindedly serve him, even in our everyday work. The glorious, liberating truth is that in Christ, God has performed the impossible. In Christ, that which was once secular has become sacred. The wall between them has been removed.” After I tore down this wall in my own life, I found the peace that can only come from an authentic, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is your personal savior and His death on the cross has paid the price for your sins. All you have to do is accept this wonderful gift in order to enjoy a personal relationship with God. If you have made this decision, then you have much more than an “S” on your chest, you have Jesus in your heart. If you go through your work week hiding this fact, then you are just like the bumbling, stumbling Clark Kent character in “The Adventures of Superman”. You have an awesome power that can transform a sinful world and save many lost souls. Throw away those Clark Kent glasses and embrace the world with your Eternal Perspective. You do not have to compromise your Christian values in order to be successful in the business world. Don’t spend one more single day living a double life!
