Do The Work Theology
Andrew Peterson's book "Adorning the Dark" is well worth it's weight in gold.
Read this today:
“Sometimes you have to do the work even if you don’t feel like it. Sometimes you have to put away your wants and do what needs to be done, which really means dying to self in order to find life. This is a way of practicing resurrection.”
As a person who seeks to live by faith, it's important to me that my work ethic and theology align. It's one thing to quote Stephen Pressfield. I love Pressfield and think the War of Art series to be some of the most important series of books written for creatives in the last century.
But thank you Andrew Peterson for placing my "butt in the chair, do the work" philosophy firmly in the ground of my theology.
"Do the Work" is taking up the cross.\ The creation is practical ressurection.
And Jesus did it all first.
