My background in becoming an aerospace engineer coupled with my early involvement in a solid Bible-believing church right out of college created a tension I spent several decades trying to reconcile. What does having Christ as the Lord of all of my life, as I learned in church, have to do with the daily grind of building complex aerospace products? In your case, you might be keeping an office organized, accounts efficiently managed, juggling day jobs with night jobs to make ends meet, laboring as a stay-at-home parent, or closing a large deal as a managing partner in a private equity firm.
What is it that relates what we are doing with our work lives directly to living in and for the Kingdom of God as Jesus commanded? Just how does God respond to our deepest questions about work?
