Are you respected in your home or on the job? Well, does your life deserve respect?  Hi, Doug Flemming, with all due respect, joining for another edition of Take Five, compliments of the Church of the Nazarene and this station. (Soundbyte of R-E-S-P-E-C-T)  Ahh, respect, everyone wants it, but so few earn it.   Well, over the past few days we’ve been talking about one man whose life has earned him respect on the job and in the home.  Mr. Pat Gelsinger, chief technology officer for Intel is featured in the March/April issue of charismanews.com and New Man Magazine.  By the age of 30 Gelsinger was promoted as the youngest group vice president in history of Intel.  And he has based his life on this commitment: "I will be a Christian husband, family man and then a businessman. I will use every resource God provides me to carry out His work on earth."  He has also balanced his life in three areas:  first, he allows God to control his life; second, he lives a Godly life at home then on the job; and third, he excels at his job.  As a result Gelsinger feels confident to let his Christianity show in the workplace, knowing that his life and work command respect. For example, Gelsinger’s boss was always swearing.  Gelsinger, as a Christian felt offended, especially when he misused the name of God. So, with prayer, Gelsinger spoke to his boss in a respectful tone and asked him to stop. Of course as the president and founder of this Fortune 500 company, the boss could have fired Gelsinger, but he graciously received the advice because he respects Gelsinger’s life.  Friend what about you in the workplace? Do you stand up for what is right or do you go along with the crowd?

If you want to receive respect then you must live a life worthy of respect? No one respects a hypocrite, or a liar, or a cheat, or a gossip.  So, respect must begin with you.  You are responsible to live a life that deserves respect.  In this way, you will “become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.”
