One thing to notice about the Pastoral Epistles is that they do not urge the leaders of God’s people only to know the Scriptures well and to teach them well to others.

We’ve been hearing the same mantra over and over: You can be anybody you want to be. You can do anything you want to do. Reach for the stars. There’s no limit for you to be who you want to be. But that idea didn’t come from nowhere. There’s nothing new under the sun. Jen Oshman explains out the erroneous ideas that we’re the self-made gods of our own lives.

You may feel your occupation is not holy, but it is if you see it so and do it for God’s glory.
