The reason we don't work on the Lord's Day is because we are resting and receiving. We all share in this common grace, Christian non-Christian alike; why can't Christians create a good nation? Dr. Walter Strickland helps us grasp a deeper and richer understanding of work as a vocation given to us by God himself.
When we talk about work, it’s easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.
