God is at work in the business sphere

Yes, He is! What a delight to read Peter Heslam's article for @liccltd about God being at work in businesses. Whilst I am the first to shout from the hilltops about the amazing life-changing work that my charity clients do, I also firmly believe that each of us with a faith should be in a job that we know God has called us to. With Him at the centre of what we do the world can be transformed for the better. Peter Heslam's article flags again that when business fails to flourish, everyone is impacted, but the poor are impacted the most. In these most challenging of times, those of us in business must fulfil our particular vocations and also collaborate with each other to maximize the common good.

Firstly, God is at work in the business sphere, just as God is at work in every other social sphere. Secondly, signs of God’s kingdom multiply when the various spheres of society not only fulfil their particular vocations but collaborate with each other to maximize the common good. Third, that the image of an all-wise, loving, and creative God is reflected in the amazing scientific capabilities of human beings, without which pharmaceutical companies would have nothing to draw on.
