Work

Rather than making personal passion or interest the starting point of our thinking about career, work, and vocation, we should first think about how God has gifted us to best serve and bless others.

Less distraction, more mental clarity, and higher-quality work are all great pursuits for the Christian, but they become a means of self-exaltation if they are not pursued for the glory of God and according to divine wisdom.

The concept of self-care is, by and large, selfish and often rooted in escapism—no matter how hard its proponents may argue otherwise.

Does my work matter to God, or is God only interested in ministry-related activities like evangelism, Bible teaching, and missionary work?
