1 Petrosë 2:9

There are many good reasons to pursue excellence in our work: Excellence advances our careers, grants us influence, and can lead to opportunities to share the gospel. But as this three day plan will show, we ought to pursue excellence for a much more fundamental reason—because excellence is how we best reflect the character of God and love and serve our neighbors as ourselves through out chosen work.

Dieva likšana pirmajā vietā nav vienreizējs notikums . . . katram kristietim tas ir process visa mūža garumā. Neatkarīgi no tā, vai tu esi jauns Kristus sekotājs, vai ticības „veterāns‟, šie ieteikumi tev būs saprotami un viegli pielietojami. Tā ir visnotaļ efektīva stratēģija, lai tu varētu dzīvot uzvarošu kristīgu dzīvi. Šis ir fragments no Deivida D. Svanda (David J. Swandt) grāmatas „Out of This World: A Christian’s Guide to Growth and Purpose‟.
