The Great Commission will not be fulfilled with our spare time or spare money.

Many Christians understand the Bible to be a collection of stories without an overarching narrative.

So much is wrapped up in our work and each book of the Bible points to Christ and the good news of what he's done that impacts the whole of our lives and the whole of our world. When our eyes are opened to see how each book of the Bible points us to the gospel, the relevance to our work and the need for this good news to enter into our work becomes increasingly evident.

Our work is connected to much larger structures and systems that can be influenced and changed to align with God's intention to bring order and fruitfulness into the world.

When we think about our work it deals with our motivations, our desires, our sense of security, purpose, and status. Our work deals with a whole host of relationships. Work impacts the flourishing of individuals, communities, and nations.

One reason why people find applying the Bible to work so difficult is that the world of Scriptures seems so distant from our modern world today. Many established realities we encounter daily, like non-profit and for-profit corporations, did not exist in the ancient world.

The gospel changes how we view and work with others in a way that both humanizes our interactions with them and empowers them to work well.
