As I said last Sunday, in order to work laboriously (with disciplined excellence and service), willingly (with responsible gratitude and joy), and quietly (with encouraging integrity and focus) all because of Jesus, we need to have a robust theology of work. Below are some resources that can help you pursue this with a bit more focus and intentionality:
- Work Matters: Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday Work, by Tom Nelson (book)
- The Gospel at Work: How Working for King Jesus Gives Purpose and Meaning to our Jobs, by Traeger and Gilbert (book)
- Business for the Glory of God: The Bible’s Teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business, by Wayne Grudem (book)
- God At Work: Your Christian Vocation in All of Life, by Gene Veith (book)
- What Should I Do After Highschool?, by Greg Forster (article)
- A Christian Theology of Work, by Joe Boot (video)
(Caveat: Some of these I have read/watched, others just come highly recommended, and there may be a few things here and there that I/you don’t agree with, so please, as always, read with prayerful and Biblical discernment.)
