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.
John writes:
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

Judyt:
I don't believe the scripture in Hebrews refers to
faith; the important thing is what our faith is rests in. Anything
done in the flesh is a "dead work" and everything we do in response to the
leading of the Spirit and out of obedience to Christ is classified as "serving
the Living God" There are lots of fleshworks out there.....
all done in the name of God.
