Work wasn’t a punishment; it was purpose. An act of obedience. A divine assignment. If God is glorified in what you do, it’s not just a job. It’s worship.
Listen. Hustle might be trendy on LinkedIn and motivational TikTok, but Heaven doesn’t run on burnout. God’s Kingdom runs on grace, trust, and obedience, not anxiety, overworking, and performance.
A significant threat to unity is dwelling on a single story. Single stories create stereotypes, not because they are untrue, but because they are incomplete.
I see a family church. A church were people genuinely love each other despite the disagreements they may occasionally have. A unified church that looks, feels and is family to everyone who walks in. A church that will reject religion and emphasise relationships.
