There are many ways to look at work. Work is something you have to do to have the means to live, support a family, and play on the week-ends.
Work can be difficult, boring, and frustrating.
Some find true fulfillment in their work, while others are consumed by it, and find no meaning in life away from the workplace. Work can be the means to achieve power, recognition, and status. Christians are not immune from these approaches to work. It is particularly easy for Christians to divide life into the sacred and the secular, Sunday and the rest of the week. These approaches to work can be worked out in varying degrees.
