Below is a post by Justin Taylor at Between Two Worlds about Christ in the workplace. It is not an easy task to make Christ central in our work and sometimes I think we have a hard time understanding what that might look like practically. Piper’s points give some helpful starting points and food for thought in this regard.

From a chapter by that title in John Piper’s Don’t Waste Your Life:

1. We can make much of God in our secular job through the fellowship that we enjoy with him throughout the day in all our work.
2. We make much of Christ in our secular work by the joyful, trusting, God-exalting design of our creativity and industry.
3. We make much of Christ in our secular work when it confirms and enhances the portrait of Christ’s glory that people hear in the spoken gospel.
4. We make much of Christ in our secular work by earning enough money to keep us from depending on others, while focusing on the helpfulness of our work rather than financial rewards.
5. We make much of Christ in our secular work by earning money with the desire to use our money to make others glad in God.
