The laborers in the vineyard

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 5:13 pm By Theology of Work Project

If the vineyard owner represents God, this is a powerful message that in God’s kingdom, displaced and unemployed workers need to find work that meets their needs and the needs of those who depend on them. Read more

God’s call to Moses

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 5:13 pm By Theology of Work Project

God’s call to Moses came while Moses was at work. The account of how this happened contains six elements that form a pattern evident in the lives of other leaders and prophets in the Bible. It is instructive to examine this call narrative and to consider its implications for us today, especially in the context of our work. Read more

Offering God the products of human labor

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 5:13 pm By Theology of Work Project

The items we produce—leather and cloth, dishes and plates, construction materials, lesson plans, financial forecasts, and all the rest—are priestly items. The work we do—washing clothes, growing crops, raising children and every other form of legitimate work—is priestly service to God. Read more

Blessed to be a blessing

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 5:13 pm By Theology of Work Project

The work of Christians in their faithfulness to God is intended for the good of everyone, beginning with those who are not God’s people, and extending through them to God’s people themselves. Successful business leaders understand that product development, marketing, sales and customer support are the most effective when they put the customer first. This is perhaps the most profound economic principle in Jeremiah: working for the good of others is the only reliable way to work for your own good. Read more

Work as worship

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 5:13 pm By Theology of Work Project

Pastors, missionaries and evangelists have a call from God. What about you? Can you work in a factory, office, school, store and have a call from God, too? If you do your job with the same kind of passion, skill, and hard work that your pastor does their job, maybe your work is really a kind of worship. Read more

God’s creation takes work

Last updated on: May 27, 2014 at 4:08 pm By Theology of Work Project

God’s creation is robust, its existence secure. God does not need help from anyone or anything to create or maintain the world. No battle with the forces of chaos, such as we see in other ancient Near Eastern creation texts, threatens to undo the creation. Later, when God chooses to share creative responsibility with human beings, we know that this is God’s choice, not a necessity. Whatever people may do to mar the creation or render the earth unfit for life’s fullness, God has infinitely greater power to redeem and restore. Read more
