Episode notes

If we're not offering our works up to God, are you saying we shouldn't do good works? He says, no, now our works can go out to our neighbor who needs us. This is out of a worldview that isn't Gnostic and doesn't have a dualism between body and soul. We believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. When we affirm creation, we affirm vocation, we affirm the world is good.

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.
