God made us for work. There is a difference between work and toil. However, we were designed to be contributing and caretakers and involved. The American image is different- we work so that someday we don't have to anymore. Rather as a Christian, we work to care and steward our gifts and this place and each other. Someday we might reach a point where we don't need the money anymore, but our theology would dictate that we are still called to be "working". Nowhere in scripture is sitting back and doing nothing praised. Christians with a good theology of work don't complain about it.
