Worship, Work, and Play—Ouch!
WORSHIP, WORK, AND PLAY—OUCH! Most middle-class Americans tend to: worship their work; work at their play; and play at their worship. That which we worship, we serve, and that which we serve we will give our all —heart, soul, mind and body. — Gordon Dahl, from WORK, PLAY, AND WORSHIP IN A LEISURE-ORIENTED SOCIETY, Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress, 1972. ISBN: 0806612339 Quoted by Chuck Swindoll in STRESS FRACTURES (Zondervan, 1995) and at http://wava.oneplace.com/ministries/insight_for_living/Article.asp?article_id=539 Quoted by Ken Boa in “Process Spirituality: Being Versus Doing” — http://www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=2780 [Gordon Dahl wrote these words more than thirty years ago (1972).
