Theology of Work

“That is the trap of busyness: believing that the busyness itself is what matters, instead of placing all our work and all our rest at the feet of our maker.” - Public Discourse

“In today’s hectic and competitive world, finding balance and success in our work lives can often be a challenge. As we navigate through our daily tasks, responsibilities, and interactions, it’s important to take a step back and reconnect with God.” - Common Good

“The first reason… I’ve grown tired of this approach is that it typically involves a superficial engagement with Scripture.” - Mere Orthodoxy

“Our biggest obstacle is failing to recognize that God is omnipresent, that he has made all things, and that it is by him that all things hold together (Col 1:15–17).” - Common Good

“We don’t tend to think of work as good, but rather as difficult, frustrating, and exhausting…. The goodness of work is enshrined in the pattern of creation.” - Ligonier

“It’s easy to fall into extremes here…. Both approaches miss the mark. We should build sensible and wholesome relationships that allow us to thrive at work and, most importantly, in our Christian walk” - TGC

“People now jump from job to job throughout the course of their lives. If we viewed our work under the rubric of God’s calling, we would be more apt to settle into whatever lawful work God has gifted and called us to do.” - Nick Batzig

“Redeeming Productivity is consistently Biblical. Reagan works hard to quote Scripture and draw on practical wisdom from the Bible.” - DBTS Blog

“we have seen literal textbook examples of how the culminating moments will follow prolonged periods, and possibly even a lifetime, of work.” - IFWE
