Lk-3-10-18 Dec 15-24 Living our spirituality in our daily lives

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast from Luke, we hear more about John the Baptist.  John is giving advice to individuals who want to change their life to reflect their beliefs.  These individuals realize that their faith is not just practiced on holy days but will also impact their behavior at work and at home. There are a couple of key points that I want to draw your attention to.  When asked what to do John doesn’t say, pray more or sin less or give more money to the Temple.  Do you notice that all of his advice involves how to respectfully relate to other people?  John treats everyone the same.  It doesn’t matter what their profession is.   In most cultures including our own, professions are ranked from least to most prestigious.   That means nothing to John.  All work is honorable.  The people are called to do an honest day’s work.  Sometimes we are fortunate, and the job has meaning or purpose.  Other times people work for the money.  They work to live.  They find purpose outside of work.  But, even if you are working simply for the moony, there is still honor there. Complete our 1 Minute Survey
