Of the 112 waking hours a man has each week, he will spend roughly half that time working. Yet most men do not have a good “theology of work.” Teach your men a theology of work. Here are a few points for starters: First, every vocation is holy to the Lord. God makes no distinction between sacred and secular (have men look up the word “secular” in their concordances). Francis Schaeffer wrote, “One thing you should very definitely have in mind—that is that a ministry such as teaching the Bible in a college is no higher calling intrinsically than being a businessman or doing something else.” i Second, I once met a man who said, “All my life I wanted to be a high school math teacher. Finally, my dream came true. But I soon saw two problems. First, my students were coming to class with problems math can’t solve. Second, the Christian teachers in my school don’t know each other. God has put a vision in my mind about how to address those two issues. I am an ordained math teacher.” The full article is available FREE to registered users. Please SIGN UP or LOGIN to view. |
