Discover Your Destiny

Last updated on: January 19, 2016 at 1:10 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel Do you ever have questions about your purpose? What you have to offer the world? Why you even exist in the first place? If so, you’re not alone. Most people are confused about their place and purpose in the world. They conclude that life just doesn’t make sense. But wait! Shouldn’t Christians have a clearer picture of their calling and where they fit in? After all, we have a personal connection with our Creator, the author of... Read more

From the archives: Good fruit, thorny endeavor

Last updated on: January 11, 2016 at 2:46 pm By Made to Flourish

One of the great joys of serving The Kern Family Foundation as a regional director is gathering together with other Kern Pastors to wrestle with profound questions of life, ministry, and how the local church can be an agent of cultural change through the integration of faith, work, and economics. This past summer, we had the opportunity to do just that, meeting every other week over breakfast to discuss Tim Keller’s Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work— a brilliant and clear-headed discussion of how faith and work intersect.

Households and economic injustice in the Old Testament

Last updated on: January 18, 2016 at 11:24 am By Oikonomia Network

By Keith Reeves In the first part of this article we looked at how the family is foundational to property systems and economic flourishing in the Old Testament. The household was simultaneously a familial unit and an economic unit, and the connection between the two was of essential importance. In this second part, we will look at how the destruction of this unity of the household was a key cause of the prophets’ outrage. The rise of the monarchy was a... Read more

Family, land, and households in the Old Testament

Last updated on: January 11, 2016 at 2:36 pm By Oikonomia Network

By Keith Reeves The connection between the family and ownership of land – economic production – is central to the Bible’s picture of social order. The household of biblical times was both a familial and economic unit. Today we tend to think of familial and economic relationships separately, which has profound implications for our society. In part one of this two-part article, we will take a closer look at how and why the Old Testament codes demonstrate a deep concern... Read more

By Will Messenger This post is a contribution to the Patheos January Public Square about our outlook on the New Year and the ways our spirituality can shape that vision.

Your Brain on Poverty: Why Poor People Seem to Make Bad Decisions

Last updated on: January 11, 2016 at 2:27 pm By Mission:Work

We just ran into this fascinating article at The Atlantic (it’s a couple years old, but it’s been going around Facebook, so that makes it new again, right?) It argues that poverty actually causes changes in the way the brain operates: Science published a landmark study concluding that poverty, itself, hurts our ability to make decisions about school, finances, and life, imposing a mental burden similar to losing 13 IQ points. It quotes a devastating first-hand report from a person in... Read more

Art, theology, and faith: an interview with the editor of Image Journal

Last updated on: January 4, 2016 at 1:03 pm By Guest Contributor

The founder and editor of Image journal talks about why it’s important for people of faith — and those grappling with questions of faith — to engage with art. This article originally appeared at Faith and Leadership. Does religion have a culture problem, or does culture have a religion problem? Has the Christian community sacrificed beauty in search of truth and virtue? Gregory Wolfe, the Seattle-based founder of the arts and literature journal Image, has been grappling with these...

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise: A hymn about God at work in the world for #Epiphany

1. Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise, manifested by the star to the sages from afar; branch of royal David’s stem in thy birth at Bethlehem; anthems be to thee addressed, God in man made manifest. 2. Manifest at Jordan’s stream, Prophet, Priest and King supreme; and at Cana, wedding-guest, in thy Godhead manifest; manifest in power divine, changing water into wine; anthems be to thee addressed, God in man made manifest. 3.
