Theology of Work

“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

“’Raise your hand if you’re going into full-time ministry…. You all should be raising your hands.’ He was charging the business majors, biology majors, communications, and education majors, among others, to view their future work—whatever it was to be—as ministry” - IFWE

“Not only did Jesus make good tables, but his toil was not in vain. If Jesus’ work for twenty years was not in vain, then how does that change the way we evaluate our own lives or those of others?” - IFWE

“only God accomplishes everything he sets out to do. He’s the only one with the wisdom and power to complete his work according to his plan and in his intended timing.” - TGC

“Is this the way of the future? Should Christians strap their phones to their faces and dive into the metaverse? And what does this imply about those who can’t afford to do so?” - Religion & Liberty

“Proximity and participation matter. Every job requires us to work in the presence of sin. The goal of the Christian life is not to remain in complete isolation from anyone who has ever disobeyed the commands of Scripture.” - TGC
