Rick Warren: Work Is Not God’s Punishment for Man
Rick Warren, pastor of SaddlebackChurch in Lake Forest, Calif., kicked off a six-week sermon series on the topic of “Doing Business With God” over the weekend, and explained that, contrary to popular belief, Adam and Eve worked in the Garden of Eden and people will work in heaven as well.
“Some people actually think that work is punishment from God. It is not … because there was work for Adam and Eve to do in paradise,” said Warren.
