The media sector is an integral aspect of the lives of human beings, mainly for individuals in the pursuit of employment, fulfillment of dreams, visions, passion, and entertainment. The media industry is diverse, with complex religious, social, and cultural dynamics that build the foundation on which ideas, projects, and professions are built.
The typical human will devote close to three-quarters of his/her waking lifetime to work. Several Christians do not engage in full-time vocational ministry. It is essential to know how to join our faith into one of the enormous percentages of our lives -work. Since the beginning of time, work has existed. God worked and determined that human beings would work in part of their fellowship with Him. The fall between God and humankind corrupted and broke the perfect fellowship, but it did not fatally destroy God's relationship, work, and worship. God's command to Adam to engage in the world He had created, cultivate it, and fill it with God's glory is a cultural mandate.
The importance of work is not lost on us and is echoed throughout the scriptures. Christians are advised to do all labour in the magnificence of the Lord. It is difficult to excel in the workplace and live solely in the glory of God. Colossians 3:23-24 states, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance of the reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. "It is important to remember that God is part of our work and exists in our activities as he is at church. Tim Keller, in his book, writes, "Work of all kinds, whether with the hand or the mind, is evidence of our dignity as human beings -because it reflects the image of God, the creator in us."
