Christian Quotes About Work

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
– Augustine
Prayer | Achievement | Work

It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
– George Macdonald
Achievement | Work

What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow.
– Martin Luther
Family | Work

My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
– Helen Keller
Faithful | Service | Work

He who cannot rest, cannot work; he who cannot let go, cannot hold on; he who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.
– Harry Emerson Fosdick
Contentment | Work | Rest

To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labor. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.
– William Booth
Conversion | Work

Fear God and work hard.
– David Livingstone
Achievement | Work

Blessings | Work

To live well is to work well, to show a good activity.
– Thomas Aquinas
Success | Work

If God is spending work upon a Christian, let him be still and know that it is God. And if he wants work, he will find it there–in the being still.
– Henry Drummond
Work | Rest

Can we be casual in the work of God — casual when the house is on fire, and people in danger of being burned?
– Duncan Campbell
Apathy | Evangelism | Work

Work is a blessing. God has so arranged the world that work is necessary, and He gives us hands and strength to do it. The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures. – Discipline: The Glad Surrender
– Elisabeth Elliot
Stewardship | Discipline | Work

There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God.
– John Calvin
Service | Work

Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.
– Fyodor Dostoevsky
Service | Work | Women

The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces.
– Thomas Aquinas

Work

Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
– Charles Kingsley
Service | Work

Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle.
– A. W. Tozer
Life | Laughter | Work

A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is remained as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.
– Tim Keller
work | Vocation

Availability is not the most important factor in employment – teachability is.
– Ed Cole
Work

The success or failure of our work as a church or mission depends, in the last resort, largely, not in the number of preachers we put into the field, nor on the size of our congregations, but rather on the character of Christianity we and our work produce.
– Duncan Campbell
Evangelism | Work | Missions

I thank God for my handicaps for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God.
– Helen Keller
Patience | Work

A lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job.
– Zig Ziglar
Apathy | Work

Temptations which accompany the working day will be conquered on the basis of the morning breakthrough to God. Decisions, demanded by work, become easier and simpler where they are made not in the fear of men, but only in the sight of God. He wants to give us today the power which we need for our work.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Temptation | Prayer | Work

To choose a career on selfish grounds is probably the greatest single sin that any young person can commit, for it is the deliberate withdrawal from allegiance to God of the greatest part of time and strength.
– William Temple
Work | Selfishness

If any occupation or association is found to hinder our communion with God or our enjoyment of spiritual things, then it must be abandoned. Anything in my habits or ways which mars happy fellowship with the brethren or robs me of power in service, is to be unsparingly judged and made an end of– ‘burned.’ Whatever I cannot do for God’s glory must be avoided.
– A. W. Pink
Work | Habits

Certainly work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness-the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.
– George Macdonald
Idleness | Work | Idleness

And when God comes to reckon with his workmen, the ploughman and the sower shall have his penny, as well as the harvest-man and the reaper.
– William Gurnall
Justice | Work

The material creation was made by God to be developed, cultivated, and cared for in an endless number of ways through human labor. But even the simplest of these ways is important. Without them all, human life cannot flourish.
– Tim Keller
Redemption | Work

The Protestant work ethic finds its application in many contexts in the twenty-first century. Perhaps the most obvious is the phenomenon of ‘faith based activism’: religious groups using their faith both as a platform and a guiding principle for social engagement and voluntary work.
– Alister McGrath
Work | Service

Faith gives you a concept of the dignity and worth of all work, even simple work, without which work could bore you.
– Tim Keller
work

God buries His workmen but carries on His work.
– Charles Wesley
God | Death | Work

When you take care of your job, God will take care of the paycheck.
– Woodrow Kroll
Work | Finances

Watch that the grapevine doesn’t turn into the gossipvine at your workplace.
– Victoria Thomas Pollar
Gossip | Work

Work done by non-Christians always contains some degree of God’s common grace as well as the distortions of sin. Work done by Christians, even if it overtly names the name of Jesus is also to a significant degree distorted by sin.
– Tim Keller
Grace | Work

Take into your new sphere of labor, where you also mean to lay down your life, that simple charm, Love, and your life-work must succeed. You can take nothing greater, you need take nothing less. It is not worth while going if you take anything less.
– Henry Drummond
Work

They that govern most make least noise. In rowing a barge, they that do drudgery work, slash, puff, and sweat; but he that governs, sits quietly at the stern, and scarce is seen to stir.
– John Selden
Government | Work

The stature of the Lord Jesus was not itself reached by work, and he who thinks to approach its mystical height by anxious effort is really receding from it.
– Henry Drummond
Work

To say prayers in a decent, delicate way is not heavy work. But to pray really, to pray till hell feels the ponderous stroke, to pray till the iron gates of difficulty are opened, till the mountains of obstacles are removed, till the mists are exhaled and the clouds are lifted, and the sunshine of a cloudless day brightens-this is hard work, but it is God’s work, and man’s best labor.
– E.M. Bounds
Prayer | Perseverance | Work

Properly understood, the doctrine of sin means that believers are never as good as our true worldview should make us. Similarly, the doctrine of grace means as messed up their false worldview should make them.
– Tim Keller
Grace | Work

Pray a little more, work a little harder, save, wait, be patient and, most of all, live within our means. That’s the American way. It’s not spending ourselves into prosperity or taxing ourselves into prosperity.
– Mike Huckabee
Discretion | America | Work

The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer, lies here, food for worms; but the work shall not be lost, for it will appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author.
– Assorted Authors
Death | Work

Avoid idleness, and fill up all the spaces of thy time with severe and useful employment; for lust easily creeps in at those emptinesses where the soul is unemployed and the body is at ease; for no easy, healthful, idle person was ever chaste if he could be tempted; but of all employments, bodily labor is the most useful, and of the greatest benefit for driving away the Devil.
– Jeremy Taylor
Idleness | Lust | Work

Any man can work when every stroke of his hands brings down the fruit rattling from the tree but to labor in season and out of season, under every discouragement… that requires a heroism which is transcendent.
– Henry Ward Beecher
Perseverance | Work

The man who gets ahead is the man who works while others sleep.
– Jack Hyles
Achievement | Work

To inaugurate a work is no small matter. Christians should never initiate anything presumptuously on the basis of need, profit, or merit. These may not indicate God’s will in the slightest.
– Watchman Nee
Work

For a work to be considered good it must not only conform outwardly to the law of God, but it must be motivated inwardly by a sincere love for God.

– Martin Luther

– C.S. Lewis
Suffering | Work

Your actions, in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.
– Assorted Authors
Good and Evil | Work | Eternal Life

Frequently what we say is rest is merely laziness. Our body requires respite and so does our mind and spirit. But a person should never rest because of a laziness which arises from the evil nature in his emotion. How often laziness and emotional distaste for work join to employ physical fatigue as a cover-up.
– Watchman Nee
Laziness | Work

The church is made up of individuals. It can do nothing except as its members work, and work together.
– James H. Aughey
Service | Work

When God wanted sponges and oysters He made them and put one on a rock and the other in the mud. When He made man He did not make him to be a sponge or an oyster; He made him with feet and hands, and head and heart, and vital blood, and a place to use them and He said to him, “Go work.”
– Henry Ward Beecher
Work

We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
– Francis de Sales
Encouragement | Work

No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of Lights.
– C.S. Lewis
God | Service | Work

No one has a greater asset for his business than a man’s pride in his work.
– Hosea Ballou

The Holy Spirit | Satan | Work

We are immortal till our work is done.
– George Whitefield
Service | Work

– William Gurnall
Heaven | Work

We are continuing God’s work of forming, filling, and subduing. Whenever we bring order out of chaos, whenever we draw out creative potential, whenever we elaborate and ‘unfold’ creation beyond where it was when we found it, we are following God’s pattern of creative cultural development.
– Tim Keller
Work

I never work better than when I am inspired by anger; for when I am angry, I can write, pray, and preach well, for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and temptations depart.
– Martin Luther
Anger | Work

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
– Tim Keller

God | Work

Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home.

Work is so foundational to our makeup that it is one of the few things we can take in significant doses without harm. Indeed, the Bible does not say we should work one day and rest six or that work and rest should be balanced evenly but directs us to the opposite ratio. Leisure and pleasure are great goods, but we can take only so much of them.
– Tim Keller
