grateful technology people
If there's an Internet signal, people will always have access to God's Word and for that I'm profoundly grateful for the technology and people who've made this access to life-giving words possible.
encouragement people purpose
When the gospel enters our work in a robust way, there's a deep encouragement and renewed sense of purpose that people begin to experience sometimes for the first time.
moving people profound
The gospel moves us to see others as people created in God's image and that can have a profound impact on people's productivity and work satisfaction.
people vision scripture
People not only need a gospel-inspired vision of work, but they need a new vision of the Scriptures.
people scripture
The Bible reminds people that the whole of Scriptures addresses the whole of our lives, including our work. We need to be reminded of this every time we open the Bible, so that we experience the hope and power of the gospel in our work every day.
attitude people integrating
The often-surprising truth for many people is that we all integrate faith into our work, but most of the time we're completely unaware of what faith underlies our attitudes and responses to our work.
people reason various
For various reasons, when people engage the Bible, they don't see very readily how it relates to their work.
people host glory
When economic structures and policies allow people to have access to capital, it releases a host of productivity that could humanize many bringing a greater flourishing to our society to the glory of God.
commitment passion people
Many people functionally share this belief that work has no greater meaning than the paycheck it provides. A natural consequence of this faith commitment is the belief it's okay to do mediocre work so that in your free time you can enjoy your true passions.
children coffee people
When people criticize our work, whether that work is a spreadsheet, a coffee, or our children, we take it very personally as if they were attacking us. This response shows how instead of taking criticism in ways that help us in our work, we become easily defensive and negative.
reality people world
One reason why people find applying the Bible to work so difficult is that the world of Scriptures seems so distant from our modern world today. Many established realities we encounter daily, like non-profit and for-profit corporations, did not exist in the ancient world.
empowering
The gospel changes how we view and work with others in a way that both humanizes our interactions with them and empowers them to work well.
teaching unique
One of the unique aspects of the Bible is that it is primarily a story illustrated by teaching and not primarily teaching illustrated by story.
purpose kind
On the flip side, when we connect our work with a greater sense of purpose and calling beyond the paycheck, we begin to see the kind of flourishing that we were called to create.
