Why should God care where you work? Because this may be exactly where he has called you to do ministry. Not all ministry takes place within the four walls of a church. Sometimes the church must be taken out into the world. Twice Paul says, "Don't you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?" (1Cor. 3:16; 6:19). It must be important.
Repeating the words of the prophet, Jesus says, "My temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations" (Mark 11:17). What does it look like to be the temple of God in the place where you work? By remaining in the place that God has called you, and by living out the transformation of meeting Jesus in your own life, you may demonstrate the irresistable influence of the good news.

As we are "the church", I suggest our goal should be for "the church to leave the building"!
I love the word "ekklessia." It means the gathered ones. Sometimes translated "church" or "assemby." As I understand the word, it means that we are called to be "gathered" and "sent." It seems that you can't have one without the other.
