1. Petresko 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.

把神放在我们生活中的首要位置不是一次性的，而是每一位基督徒一生都要做的事情。不管你是新信徒还是跟随基督的“老战士”，你都会发现这个计划很容易理解，也很容易实行，而且它也是一个活出得胜的基督徒生命的很有效的策略。摘自于戴维J斯旺特的《这个世界之外：基督徒的成长与目标指南》。

The opposite of mastery is mediocrity, and mediocrity is nothing less than a failure of love and a misrepresentation of the image of God. In this Plan, you’ll explore why Christians should have the highest standards of excellence in our work, what we should be looking for in our “one thing,” and how you can achieve mastery of your vocation for the glory of God and the good of others.
