Jesus Still Weeps

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 8:21 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner As a child in Sunday School asked to memorize and recite Bible verses, I often quoted “Jesus wept” because it is the shortest verse in the Bible. The occasion of that verse was Jesus’ grief over the death of his friend, Lazarus, and his empathy for the grief of Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus. This led to Jesus raising Lazarus in chapter 11 of John’s Gospel (which was a resuscitation – Lazarus was raised back... Read more

7 Prayer Habits of Highly Effective People

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 8:28 pm By The BAM Review

We asked 15 business people leading Kingdom-building companies around the world what prayer habits, practices or experiences they have found helpful in their business life. We identified 7 reoccurring themes: Prayer habits for effective business people! 1. Weave prayer throughout company life Prayer is something to be ‘threaded’ through the fabric of the business, not compartmentalised or sidelined.

Swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son shall shine: #AshWednesday

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 8:36 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Wilt thou forgive that sin, where I begun, which is my sin, though it were done before? Wilt thou forgive those sins through which I run, and do run still, though still I do deplore? When thou hast done, thou hast not done, for I have more. Wilt thou forgive that sin, by which I won others to sin, and made my sin their door? Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun a year or two, but wallowed... Read more

From the archives: Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Newspaper Reporters. Let ‘Em Be Actuaries and Optometrists and Such.

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 3:09 pm By Acton Institute

What’s the deal with actuaries? Whenever a new list of the best jobs is compiled—like the rankings by Career Cast—they are always near the top of the list. What could really be so great about interpreting statistics to determine probabilities of accidents, sickness, and death, and loss of property from theft and natural disasters? And why have I never actually met an actuary? Are their jobs so exceedingly awesome that they don’t take time to associate with non-actuaries? Read more

It’s time to honor the hard work of raising children

Last updated on: January 25, 2016 at 6:08 pm By Guest Contributor

The church should be at the vanguard of a much-needed revolution in caretaking and the raising of children, says a young mother of four. We own the groundwork, the history and the theology of care. This article originally appeared at Faith and Leadership. By Andrea Palpant Dilley A male friend of mine recently struck up a conversation with me about work and gender. “This might sound sexist,” he said, standing in the church sanctuary, “but I just can’t do what...

Why Poor People Stay Poor

Last updated on: January 25, 2016 at 5:28 pm By Mission:Work

An article was published recently in Slate about this; it’s an excerpt from Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America by Linda Tirado. Her point is that it’s hard to follow the good advice that exists about saving money when you have no money and no safety net. Thought-provoking. Check it out. One time I lost an apartment because my roommate got a horrible flu that we suspected was maybe something worse because it stayed forever–she missed work, and I... Read more
