Culture Making with God
And that is the pattern of all work. It is creative and assertive
A biblical understanding of our work energizes our desire to create value from the resources available to us.
God does not create junk! I’m not junk! Work is not junk!
Who, after all, made the world of nature, and then made possible the develipment of sciences through which we find out more about nature? who formed the universe of human interactions, and so provided the raw material for politics, ecenomics, sociology, and history?… The answer in every case is the same — God did it. And God does it. Mark Noll, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind
All Work is Culture Making
[God] gives us a clear picture for our work and faithfully calls us into it.
Work is charged with God’s meaning — the desires of God in my life include, and can be fulfilled through, how I approach and what I do at work.
