Heaven At Work: Restoring Heaven On Earth
Driven by his search for satisfaction (because his job has not made him happy), Zacchaeus seeks Jesus, but discovers that Jesus is already seeking him. Their encounter illustrates God’s work as Restorer—He fixes the things that are broken in the world. At the 4th Level of Integrating Faith and Work, companies and jobs that fix broken things in life image this restoring work of God. At the 5th Level of Integrating Faith and Work, Zachaeus becomes an example for how we all can redeem and fix what is broken in our own professions, companies, and industries.

Transforming Grace
“When I was ten I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.†- C.S. Lewis To be so self-absorbed, so fearful of the opinions of others, so defined by what others think, is a sure way to miss the real Jesus. To be like a child, to be willing to look foolish for Jesus is a crushing blow to your pride, and it is a necessary step to meet the real Jesus. Have you gotten over the fear of looking childish? It’s one of the ways you know you’re growing up.
