The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.

“Does Labor Make Life Worth Living?”
Response of Faith: Our World Belongs to God 48
Our work is a calling from God. We work for more than wages and manage for more than profit so that mutual respect and the just use of goods and skills may shape the workplace.
While we earn or profit, we love our neighbors by providing useful products and services. In our global economy we advocate meaningful work and fair wages for all. Out of the Lord’s generosity to us, we give freely and gladly of our money and time.
