And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17 NKJV

Human beings are called to glorify and enjoy God in all our endeavors. Human flourishing comes to its ultimate expression in the enjoyment of God. Human flourishing does not require escaping the cares and travails of this world, but rather, it imbues them with significance in the light of the Eternal One, in whom we live and move and have our being.
