Judyt:
Not to me; I see them as different. Working for the Lord can be the religious "dead works" we are to repent from (in Hebrews). There are a lot of ppl going around out there doing a lot of things. They are all well meaning but some are ignorantly working against God's Kingdom.
The ONLY thing that makes a work for the Lord a "dead work" is lack of faith. There may be a lot of ppl out there doing a lot of things -- but there are none over here who are not. Faith drives one (eventually) to serve.
John
