“On call in culture”…..
Last updated on: April 1, 2014 at 8:36 pm by Acton Institute
“On call in culture”….. 2014-04-01T20:36:09+00:00 Acton Institute
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
….is the name of a new initiative by the Acton Institute helping you “learn to integrate the idea of common grace into your life.”
“Sure you can be on God’s team without being on call. You can put in your hours, do the things you like to do on your own schedule, but what opportunities are you missing by not putting yourself in the hands of God? There are opportunities that come up in which God could choose to use us, but if we’re not on call—if we’re not ready and willing—we could miss out on those opportunities and what we could learn through those experiences.”
Read more about how to be on call for God in culture, browse helpful resources, and order the book Wisdom and Wonder by Abraham Kuyper which informs the initiative here.
