The basic need of any enterprise is human resources. Similarly, the first essential for any program or ministry is human resources. As G. Campbell Morgan put it, "God's method is a man." God's message was a man, Jesus Christ, God in flesh and blood.
The incarnation is the unique genius of the Christian revelation. But the principle of incarnation was not abandoned when the earthly ministry of our Lord was concluded. It is the eternal task of the church to reproduce the incarnation, to clothe the spirit of the living God in human flesh. The Holy Spirit must live in the human clay of the Christian's experience and life.
God works through human resources.
READER'S COMMENTS
Brother Butt,
This was a timely article as I endeavor to live out the Christian life in the workplace. I work for HEB and I thank God for the freedom the company gives us who are Christians to allow the Holy Spirit to impact our work experience. I had heard you were a man of God and it blesses my soul to know that this is factual. I will continue (with God's help) to make a difference in the workplace.
Continue to allow the Lord to use you in the way of his choosing.
Be Blessed!
Your Brother in Christ,
Sammy Lewis
