Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV) 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Deuteronomy 6:13 (NIV) Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
Making a life is more significant than making a living. —William Willimon
