      <title>Get a Job!</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[God loves to work! Think about it… when creating the world, he worked six days and rested only one. And when he created Adam, the first thing he did was give him a job.

On the other hand, man tends to have a very negative outlook on work. We can’t wait for Friday to come so that we can leave work and dread Monday, when we have to return. And try to get people to give of their free time to volunteer. 

As we are called on to have the mind of Christ, shouldn’t that also include our attitude towards work? 

This edition of Uncommon Sense explores God’s perspective of work and our attitudes towards it and those with whom we labor.
