Business writer and cultural observer, Seth Godin, says the office is on its way out. He believes that in ten years, reruns of NBC’s show, THE OFFICE, will be paying homage to a relic.
I have no way of knowing. Certainly, more and more people are working out of their homes. And Godin makes a compelling case. So let’s imagine what he says comes to pass. What will be the implications?
Will there be a greater desire for community, since a source of meeting that need will be eliminated?
Will family relationships become stronger; such as they were in times past when farmers worked at home amongst their family members?
Will people grow more spiritually with the temptations that come with many offices removed?
I believe if God’s people want to practice godly stewardship, it would behoove them to plan for this possible contingency. Remember, it’s always better to be ahead of the wave than to catch it in progress.
