“Our vocation calls for us to experience and to dispense common grace in the marketplace. We work hard giving our best to the organization - colleagues, clients, contractors, stakeholders - that all may benefit. We benefit too... All this appears secular, worldly. But that is what common grace accomplishes and parallels what God does as he blesses the world. Whatever God does is sacred. When we show common grace in the marketplace, we manifest God's grace and so reveal his sacred presence.”
