Is All Work Equal? Yes and No
Daniel Doriani: “At this moment, two contradictory ideas about work compete for our attention. On one hand, economists say the desire to work is waning.

People would rather be unemployed than accept a job with low pay, poor benefits, and no prospects. Meanwhile, the church, and especially the faith and work movement, enthusiastically promotes the dignity and value of all labor.”

Flashback: Fractured Christians
In our minds and hearts, we can partition God, embracing the qualities we like while rejecting the qualities we dislike. We can be fractured Christians, speaking glorious facts even while feeling bitter resentment.
Obedience to Christ’s commands may not always begin with joy, but it will end with joy.
