Our identity was bestowed upon us by God and when humanity rebelled against God, we were divorced from the source of our identity. In this vacuum, work can wrongfully become the source of our identity wreaking havoc on our lives and work. Work was never meant to carry the weight of our identity.

If you think your work is ultimately about a paycheck, then that will affect the quality of your work as well as the quality of your own life.

All work flows from some underlying assumptions, and the content of that faith can dramatically change our expectations for our work.

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.

For various reasons, when people engage the Bible, they don't see very readily how it relates to their work.

If there's an Internet signal, people will always have access to God's Word and for that I'm profoundly grateful for the technology and people who've made this access to life-giving words possible.

We may get a paycheck, but over time what we sense is the dying of our souls.
