What is the Christian understanding of work? It is that work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker’s faculties…the medium in which he offers himself to God.”
- Dorothy Sayers

God is glorified from a Christian motivation to glorify Him, seeking to engage and influence culture to that end

God is glorified through your integrity which becomes an attractive Christian witness

God is glorified when you do skillful, excellent work

"If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
