Have you ever kept your faith secret at work? That’s the question that a recent Deseret News poll asked top business leaders. 54% of these leaders responded “yes,” that they had sometime in the past kept their faith secret.
When they asked these leaders why, the two primary reasons were “possible tension with colleagues” and “social exclusion.” Basically, they were more afraid of what others thought of them, than what God thinks of them.
People can be unforgiving. Yet, as people of faith what does God expect?
Jesus said in Luke 12:9, “But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.”
It’s hard to grasp, but the consequences of disowning our love of God are eternal while the consequences of social exclusion are very temporary.
