So what if I'm a Christian and show up at work grumpy?

In short, work - and lots of it - is an indispensable component in a
meaningful human life. It is a  supreme gift from God and one
of the main things that gives our lives purpose. But it must 
play its proper role, subservient to God. 
- Tim Keller in "Every Good Endeavor"


In an interview with Tim Keller, Tony Reinke asks

"if a Christian shows up at work on Monday morning
grumpy and irritable towards others, what's wrong?"

Keller answered, "the Gospel is brought to bear our work in a couple of ways. One is the heart. Anger, grumpiness, only doing what you have to do to get by - that means the lack of a Gospel character. The Gospel is supposed to make you graceful, make you humble. It is supposed to give you inner peace, generous in your spirit and if you are showing all these things in your work you aren't allowing the Gospel to change your heart the way in ought to."
"The Gospel usually makes you a good worker, makes people want to work with you...in the long run having a Gospel changed heart is pretty practical in the field of work."

Let me know your thoughts (and for the record, though hard to practice, I agree with Dr. Keller).


To that end....
