> Joy at Work
A sermon by Dennis Bakke, brother of recent Luther Seminary guest speaker Ray Bakke.
  "Did you ever notice that most of the work carried out by the biblical heroes was secular in nature?  Noah was a shipbuilder, a zookeeper, and a cruise line captain.  Abraham, a real estate developer.  Esther wins a Miss America pageant so she can enter a harem before she becomes queen.  That's secular.  My favorite is Daniel.  He went to Harvard, like me-the King's College-and became president of Iraq.  How's that for a Christian calling?  Most of us are called to secular workplaces just like these, not primarily as evangelists or disciplers, but to serve the ordinary needs of society, including our own needs."  more
