The need for Relational Capital outside the church

I have been thinking about the concept of relational capital, in an organization. Let's take our church for example. We have financial capital (the money in the bank), asset capital (the building and things inside it), and we also have relational capital. This is the culture we have created to develop healthy relationships. It exists on every level from whether someone will let you borrow their table saw for the weekend to how happy the leadership is about their work. In the church, we should excel at this. The work of the Spirit in our lives is to build a people for His name. Having healthy relationships at all aspects of church life should be our strength, and I think we are blessed in this at our church. But for many businesses and organizations in our city, this is not the case. How badly do some need the help of others who know how to operate in a healthy environment. People who respond in love when they are hurt, people who are loyal when times are tough, people who will work with integrity. This is one area of your life where you can live the gospel. Wherever you work, or wherever you volunteer, be someone who can introduce the gospel as you introduce relational capital.
