Work

When You’re Dreading Monday Mornings

By Filings on Fri, 07/18/25
Body

“There could be legitimate reasons for your restlessness as God convicts you to leave or directs you to go…. On the other hand, there may be sources of restlessness that need to be overcome by resting in who God is and his eternal purposes for earthly work.” - TGC

Work Is Cursed. We Need the Gospel.

By Filings on Mon, 07/07/25
Body

“Our sinful state is one of total depravity, and though that doesn’t change, the culture has changed. The contemporary worker has changed. So how does a Christian live in the world where the postpandemic work ethic reigns?” - TGC

By Filings on Tue, 06/03/25

On work, rest, and vacations

By Filings on Fri, 05/30/25

What Is the Creation Mandate—and Does It Still Matter?

By Filings on Wed, 04/02/25
Body

What Is Sacred Work?

By Filings on Thu, 03/20/25
Body

“What I intend to do in this discussion is to take a fresh look at and break down the sacred-secular divide. I have a new idea that may cause us to think a little deeper about this critical topic in the theology of work.” - IFWE

Work and the Meaning of Life

By Filings on Mon, 03/03/25

Appreciating the God-Given Gift of Work

By Filings on Thu, 02/20/25
Body

“The phenomenon can be called the ‘Sunday to Monday gap,’ the ‘sacred and secular divide’ or practical atheism. Call it what you will, but seeing all aspects of our lives through the lens of our faith in God can often be counterintuitive.” - IFWE

God’s Will and Your Job

By Filings on Mon, 02/03/25
Body

“We understand that life is more than work. We devote periods of time to recreation, sleep, play, and other activities not directly part of our principal employment or labor. However, the element of our lives that is taken up by work is so encompassing and time-consuming that we tend to understand our personal identity in the light of our work.” - Ligonier
