Should a Christian teach in the secular realm?
HOW CAN I TEACH PROPERLY IN NON-CHRISTIAN?
Are you talking about teaching in a non-Christian
school or college? Sometimes missionaries can only get into certain countries if they go
in on a visa to teach secular classes like English, medicine, carpentry, etc. If so, that
time is like any other job. We must give our employers an honest day’s work. But on
the other hand, we should be unashamed to talk about the Lord, too. If an employer says
that we cannot mention the Lord, or what He does for us from day to day, then we must move
on to another job. We must never be ashamed to speak of the Lord, or let money or jobs
silence us. Ephesians 6:5-8 says, “Servants, be obedient to them that are your
masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as
unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the
will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord,
whether he be bond or free.” Romans 10:11 says, “For the scripture saith,
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
