Does your work matter to God? - Evan Loomis

Recently, http://thehighcalling.org spoke with Evan Loomis, co-founder of TreeHouse home improvement store, about the value of work and how to view our work through a theological lens.

TRANSCRIPT: I believe the biggest problem we face is that people in the marketplace do not believe that their work matters to God . . . or very few do. And the few that do have a very balanced and right theological understanding of the gospel that starts in Genesis and ends in the new heavens and the new earth.

I think people in the marketplace really need to understand that it matters to God and that he is pleased. Not only is this the place that God has placed you to work out your salvation in the world, but he has placed you with this job to work out your own sanctification before him, which I think is a distinction. It's not just that he's pleased, but that he has given this to you as a gift to shape your character, to form virtue and to really work out the kinks in your own character, which is taking "pleasing" to the next level.
