It's hard to improve creation when it's on fire. 

#Spokane

God made us to make things. Sometimes we make the wrong things. Or too many of the right things. Or things that don't do what they're supposed to do. 

Questions worth asking: 

1) Is my product inherently destructive?

2) Is my product intentionally destructive?

3) Does my product do what it was designed to do?

4) Does my product do what the recipient of it expects it to do?

5) Do we have too much of my product?

6) Does my product perpetuate a cultural addiction?

7) Does my product have appropriate durability?

8) Does my product have continued usefulness after it has fulfilled its original purpose?

First there isn't something, and then there is. It's what God does. It's what we do.

Order has a dark side. Let's bring it into the light.

God created us to improve creation. One of the ways we do that is to bring order out of chaos. Spatial order, chronological order, relational order, procedural order, social order.

The problem with work is that we think the problem is work.

Work-life balance is not a thing. Work-work proportion is a thing. Work-rest proportion is a thing.

"If it was fun, they wouldn't call it work."

"Daddy, I don't want you to go to work."

Out of the heart, the mouth speaks—and these are the sorts of things our mouths speak about work. What does that say about our hearts? And what truths do we need in our hearts so that our mouths can speak differently?

Thanks to the Sun City Church Marketplace Ministry for inviting me to give this talk!

Dorothy Sayers wrote the most influential essay on the theology of work in the last century. It's awesome. But it's not perfect. This episode is about the parts I think could use some improvement.

Dorothy Sayers wrote a bunch of amazing novels. She also wrote the most influential word on the theology of work in the last one hundred years.
