BibleBiblical Perspectives: Transformed by the Word
by Carrie Cavanaugh
 
One of the sweetest promises in the Bible is found in Philippians 1:6:  "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."  This sanctification - God's making us holy-is something that every Christian longs for.  Even in the sphere of business, we may see our sinfulness impeding us from being the Christian leaders that we ought to be and so God's work of sanctification in our lives is a blessing not only to our soul's but also part of the greater establishment of His Kingdom on earth as we are better able to lead others in ministry and better able to reflect who God is for all around us to see.

The Longview derives its title from and begins with good theological justification, "We live in a quick-fix, immediate-impact, short-view world.  But we serve a longview God."  How true it is that one of the attributes of God that we should be a witness of to the world is His faithfulness.  It may not be the world's definition of success, but I agree with Parrott that it is what pleases our King.
