A biblical work-view

To our small band of PivotLIFE-reading brothers, sorry for the delay in posting. I usually blog from home and our internet connection has been down since this past Saturday. I’m working on getting that fixed, so bear with me for a bit here and hopefully soon we’ll be back into our regular rhythm.

If you missed Bill Treeby’s message from The Pivot meeting this past weekend, we have it available for download and listening. In so far as it’s possible to make something mandatory course work for all Pivot people, I’d like to do just that. Bill gave us a serious feast of a message on the topic of work. It was a biblical theology of work, mixed with a comparative study of false ideologies with respect to the topic. A rich deposit from a man whose been plugging away in the same office for 42 years, excelling in his field, and in so doing glorifying God from 9 to 5 in the corporate jungle called the legal field.

Even if you heard it with us, I’d highly recommend downloading it and keeping it on hand for review in the future. It is hard to overstate the relevance of this message to us right now and the enduring relevance it will have as we go on fulfilling the creation mandate to work for the glory of God.

I’d also encourage you to thank Peter (who gave us our first installment on work in this series) and Bill for the manifest heart that they have to show us the most excellent way on this topic and to speak out from the context of biblical wisdom lived out over many years. I’m deeply grateful for the invaluable contributions they’ve made to the Solomon’s Table series and I look forward to our panel discussion which is tentatively planned for November.

[TheoForum guys, keep reading through chapter 14 and we'll meet again one week from this Friday.]
