Work Is Not a Four-Letter Word - Audio
from Generations Community Church Hosted by Max Vanderpool
There are two extreme perspectives about work in America today: (1) work hard and hustle and show up early and razzle and dazzle so that you can climb the ladder and reap the rewards - and retire like a king or queen, and (2) work ONLY as much as you have to and only do what is minimally required and take every sick day and personal day and vacation day you have coming to you - because life is short and you've go to live NOW and not later. Each perspective insists that they've got it figured out - a way to "win" at life. But both extreme views miss something important about work. Even if you HATE your current job with every fiber of your being, your experience does not mean that work, itself, is a bad thing. In fact, the Bible says otherwise. And so do the millions and millions of people who've done something, taken a step back, and been satisfied by it. In this message, Max Vanderpool begins to develop a theology of work - by looking at how the opening pages of the Bible talk about it.
