Episode notes

Luther talks about God working through his right hand and through his left hand. And the right hand would be the work of the church, he says; the left hand would be government or culture. Luther's point in bringing up this sort of illustration is that they're both God's hands. "God is working through both so that you can even have a pagan king who God will use to bring order and decency in society"

Is there a distinctly Christian way to go about our day jobs? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider what makes our work valuable. They challenge the human tendency to search for ultimate significance and satisfaction in our work, pointing listeners to God’s design for believers to live out their vocations under God’s pleasure, in the power of the Spirit, and within the rhythms of work and rest that he provides.
