Faith and Work

Worshipping God is not just an activity, but it’s a lifestyle. And a lifestyle of worship is not something that lasts for a season or shows up as a passing trend, but a lifestyle of worship is meant to carry us into eternal life.

As humans we tend to have this strong lean towards making everything complicated, but I feel like the Lord is constantly reminding me, and us, that things are so much simpler than they seem. The Gospel itself is so much simpler than it seems. We just make it hard & complex. And, in the same way, we often make worshipping God a lot more complex than it needs to be too, when really, it’s simple. 

Worshipping God in our everyday lives can be simple. It begins with turning your heart toward God amidst the busyness of life and choosing to direct your thoughts towards Him.

Gospel theology must transform work theology for the Christian. We have financial needs – requirements such as bills, tuition, and groceries that need to be covered. With workism knocking at the door of our needs, how can we manage the tension of resting effectively while still meeting these needs for ourselves & our families? 

It’s that eclectic week between Christmas and the New Year. As Christians, this “already-but-not-yet” reality is where we find ourselves today – charged with a calling to embody and proclaim Jesus in this great overlap. This in between.

Merry Christmas from the Stone Table! I just wanted to share with you this scripture and hopefully encourage you a little bit heading into this holiday…
