Lecture Lunch with R. Albert Mohler, Jr."Work to the Glory of God"
Economics and work exist to glorify God, according to R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in a lecture for the school’s Commonweal Project.
Speaking from Genesis 1:28 and Genesis 3, Mohler explained how labor and work point to and fulfill God’s creation mandate. Labor brings about plenitude from poverty, he said, and Christians work to supply life-giving resources. Humans are to work, knowing that only God, though, creates perfectly and gives abundantly and infinitely. So Christians are to labor knowing that “our wealth is for kingdom expansion,” Mohler said.
