For centuries Christians have subscribed to a subtle yet powerful hierarchy of vocations. All legitimate work matters to God. God is a worker.
Work is a gift.
God designs people to carry out different kinds of work. God fits us uniquely for certain kinds of tasks so that we can carry out his work in the world. That work includes not only spiritual tasks, but also extends to everyday fields of work. God values our work even when the product has no eternal value. Our assumption is that God values work for eternity, but not work for the here and now.
