How can Christian faith make a difference in the way you choose a career and do your job? Tim Keller highlights four ways Christian faith influences and shapes daily work in this blog post, which is a summary of his book, Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work.

  • First, the Christian faith gives us a moral compass, an inner GPS giving us ethical guidance that takes us beyond merely the legal aspects or requirements in any situation.

  • Second, your Christian faith gives you a new spiritual power, an inner gyroscope, that keeps you from being overthrown by either success, failure, or boredom.

  • Third, the Christian faith gives us a new conception of work as the means by which God loves and cares for his world through us.

  • Fourth, the Christian faith gives us a new world-and-life view that shapes the character of our work.
