You probably think of the Garden of Eden as a place of paradise, and it was. But have you ever thought of it as a place of WORK? As it turns out, that's exactly what it was. When God created the perfect world and put people in it, He created them to work, and He said, "Don't worry; this is gonna be GOOD!"
In today's podcast I want to unpack that idea from the view of the Apostle Paul, who clearly had the same perspective. As a matter of fact, the only reason Paul wanted to get up every morning was so that he could work. But it wasn't just any work that he was interested in. What he really wanted was FRUITFUL labor.
I think if he had a t-shirt, it might have said "Will work for fruit!"
