HEAR it on Sunday. USE it on Monday.
On Sunday Pastor Greg talked about our work. We all work - but what does God have to say for people who hate their jobs? If you didn't get to hear Pastor Greg's sermon "When You Hate Your Job" - listen here.
C. S. Lewis said this about our work:
Do All to the Glory of GodThe work of a Beethoven, and the work of a charwoman, become spiritual on precisely the same condition, that of being offered to God, of being done humbly 'as to the Lord." This does not, of course, mean that it is for anyone a mere toss-up whether he should sweep rooms or compose symphonies. A mole must dig to the glory of God and a cock must crow.
What Does The Bible Say . . .

When the men brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed Jesus. Luke 5:11 (NCV)
Sometimes we stay where we are because God needs us there.

Sometimes we stay but adopt a new attitude about work.
