Among the many contributions of the Protestant Reformation, a new vision of the sacred character of labor took root, a vision that was ultimately expressed in the so-called Puritan Work Ethic, a foundation for the vast economic expansion in Northern Europe and America. This lecture explores the implication of that contribution and calls for a new appreciation for the central importance of labor as a calling of God and source of deep satisfaction to the human soul.

To me it seems that wealth really belongs to God and that we are actually a part of his wealth. That is, our labor and work is God's, simply because we belong to God and do work in God's name. We are not supposed to invest our wealth into the world, but instead into the Kingdom.
