Faithfully Working

This week on the Faithfully Working podcast Addison continues in Genesis and Work. What does God's word have to say about work, calling and vocation? Turns out, a lot.

Work can be hard. It can be filled with indecision, conflict, a steep learning curve. It can be non-existent, or something that seems too far out of reach. Why is work so hard? Why is it a topic that we tend to avoid? At the heart of the issue is sin. We gain a clearer picture of just how sin impacts our everyday work and callings in Genesis 3: 1-19.

This week on the Faithfully Working podcast Addison continues in Genesis and Work. What does God's word have to say about work, calling and vocation? Turns out, a lot.

We have established that God is a worker. This is the foundation for why His image bearers work. Yet we need more. More direction. More information. More nuance into what humanity is called to do through work. Follow along with us in Gen 2: 4-25 as we engage these questions and more.

Quotes from the episode:

"When we have a definition for anything, when we really have studied it's nature to the point we can say that it is this and not that, we have achieved knowledge." John Gerstner

Ever feel like you need a break from work? Tired at the end of the day? Rest is a significant component of our work today. Let's explore Genesis 2:1-3 to better understand how rest corresponds with work.

Quotes from the episode:

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Exodus 20:8-11)

"Thou has made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee." - St. Augustine

"We can't handle sin. We are the sinners. "But the Lord Jesus Christ not only can, he does. He comes; he dies; he pays the penalty for our sin. He opens the door into the presence of God for all who believe in him. Then God, on the basis of the death of Christ, pronounces the believing one justified. That one now stands before the presence of God clothed in the righteousness of Christ." (James Montgomery Boice)

Quotes from the episode:

"Genesis maintains that the universe exists with form and personality because it has been brought into existence by an orderly and personal God. God was there before the universe came into existence, and he was and is personal." (James Montgomery Boice - Commentary on Genesis)

"The heavens declare the glory of God;

The skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech:

night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language

where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world." (Psalm 14:1-4)

Quotes:

"To a man who lives unto God, nothing is secular—everything is sacred! He puts on his workday garment, and it is a vestment to him; he sits down to his meal, and it is a sacrament; he goes forth to his labor, and exercises the office of the priesthood; his breath is incense, and his life a sacrifice; he sleeps on the bosom of God, and lives and moves in the divine presence! To draw a hard and fast line and say, 'This is sacred and this is secular,' is, to my mind, diametrically opposed to the teaching of Christ and the spirit of the gospel!

Paul has said, "I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself"... The Lord has cleansed your houses, my brothers and sisters; He has cleansed your bed chambers, your tables, your shops; He has made the bells upon your horses holiness to the Lord! He has made the common pots and pans of your kitchens to be as the bowls before the altar if you know what you are, and live according to your high calling. You housemaids, you cooks, you nurses, you plowmen, you housewives, you traders, you sailors— your labor is holy if you serve the Lord Christ in it, if by living unto Him as you ought to live! The sacred has absorbed the secular! The overarching temple of the Lord covers all your houses and your fields! My brothers and sisters, this ennobles life!.. This ensures us a reward for all we do!" Charles Spurgeon in "All for Jesus"
