I don't think you really do.
Quote:The whole "I work 70 hours a week" sounded like bragging. It's hard to tell through text. I'd think the more valuable lesson for your children is to spend time with them and teach them what Jesus did, to eschew personal possessions and reject materialism. Seems like that center part of the new testament gets swallowed up by capitalism though.
Jesus may have eschewed materialism, but not work. God set a 6-day work week, and Jesus said “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” (John 5:17. I believe there will still be work in heaven, but more fruitful work.
Quote:I don't mean to sound judgemental, just reacting to the 70 hours a week thing from a point of trying to understand why people would be proud of that, or think they need to do it, when there is a better way.
When you say that your way is better, rather than different, you sound judgmental, because you're making a judgment.
