Excellence in the Marketplace
Here is a short story about a member of John Calvin’s 16th-century church in Geneva, Switzerland.
“Calvin was a strong believer in practical and living theology, and he encouraged his parishioners to apply Christianity to every aspect of their daily life. One day, a stranger entered a shoemaker’s shop run by one of Calvin’s congregation. When the stranger found out that the shoemaker was a Christian, he said, somewhat sarcastically, “Oh, well then you must make Christian shoes!” “No,” the shoemaker quietly replied, “I don’t make Christian shoes, but i make shoes well.”

Followers of Jesus Christ should be known around the world for excelling in whatever we put our hands to. It is a tragedy that we have a reputation in some spheres of business and society of doing things shoddily. God help me to be excellent in what I do.
