10 things you don’t know about the faith and work movement

Last updated on: October 7, 2015 at 3:56 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Next Tuesday, October 13, faith channels across Patheos are participating in an event called #ShareWhatWeShare, where we’re finding and sharing on our Facebook pages posts from other channels that represent our shared values and commitments. You might think with a tent as big as Patheos we’d find that hard to pull off, but we’re trying it, in the hope that real dialogue between people from differing perspectives will help us see each other as not suspect enemies but (as we...

Why God Loves Business

Last updated on: September 17, 2015 at 1:08 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

As Creator, God could have placed Adam and Eve in the midst of a highly developed world with roads, bridges, buildings, technology, and everything needed for modern life as we know it. Instead, He put us to work as stewards, developers, and co-creators with Himself. The creation of wealth through business plays a vital role in fulfilling God’s plan for His creation, allowing life on earth to flourish in manifold ways. God’s first command to humankind encompassed developing Creation’s resources... Read more

The church: shelter, fighter, or preview?

Last updated on: September 29, 2015 at 4:14 am By Oikonomia Network

By Bruce Ashford As American churches face an increasingly hostile and post-Christian culture, we must clearly define who we are and how we should approach our social and cultural contexts. As I see it, churches tend to choose one of three mindsets: the first mindset is the church as bomb shelter; the second is the church as ultimate fighter; and the third is the church as a preview of the kingdom. Each of the first two mindsets has grasped some... Read more

Christ is Lord over all: Why it’s ok for the Pope to talk about money

Last updated on: September 30, 2015 at 12:27 pm By Guest Contributor

By Zen Hess There is a lively discussion on the internet regarding Pope Francis addressing environmental and economic issues. Judging by the blanket coverage given to the Pope’s recent visit, it seems most people were excited to hear the Pope speak about relevant and timely issues. There are, however, people who think that Pope Francis is overstepping his duties. Andrew Napolitano suggests, for example, that the Pope’s job “is to get souls into heaven, period.”Others are upset that the Pope... Read more

How a doctor prescribes grace to her patients

Last updated on: September 30, 2015 at 12:25 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

As some of you may have noted, a few weeks ago I spent two days at a conference in Wilmore, KY called Grace Prescriptions, composed of Christian healthcare professionals looking for ways to share their faith in their practice. This week I caught up with one of the doctors in attendance, Dr. Vickie Moore, to talk about her experience at the conference and how she’s been putting it into practice. Vickie Moore is a family medicine doctor in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.... Read more

Looking forward to Laity Day

Last updated on: September 18, 2015 at 8:23 pm By Mission:Work

We reprint this post from Mike Coyner, whom you’ve read on this blog often, not because you all are lay United Methodists in Northern Indiana (we know better!) but as an example of a church leader fruitfully encouraging the ministry of the laity. Go thou and do likewise!–Editors On Saturday, October 17th at Castleton UMC, I will gather with all laity of our Indiana Conference for our first “Laity Day with the Bishop,” an event that is sponsored by our...

Don’t Let Unemployment Undo Your Identity

Last updated on: September 17, 2015 at 12:51 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

Let’s face it. Our identity and work are closely aligned–and rightly so because God made us to work. But it’s possible to let work be the defining reality of who we are. When we lose a job or can’t get a job, our very understanding of who we are can unravel. But good can come from this kind of identity crisis according to an article RELEVANT entitled, “Find God in Unemployment: What you can learn when you can’t find a job.” Recent college graduate Brian Livingston...

The Real Problem With the “Christian Right”

Last updated on: September 17, 2015 at 12:39 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

Originally published at Ithilien in 2006. The catchphrase on the Left these days (and among many who see themselves as moderate) is “theocracy.” Allegedly, conservative Christians are pushing for an explicitly Christian government ruled by Biblical law, in which those who offend Christian codes of belief or ethics will be persecuted. These claims are supported by copious citations from the more extreme writings of the small group of conservative Protestants known as “Reconstructionists,” who are in fact working toward an...

From the archives: Disability and discipleship: “God Don’t Make No Junk”

Last updated on: September 17, 2015 at 1:21 pm By Acton Institute

We all are important to God. “God don’t make no junk,” as the saying on the T-shirt reads. This isn’t to deny the reality of brokenness and sin. But in the face of these evils, God still affirms and preserves his creation. Life itself is a blessing from God, and mere existence is proof enough that God values people and has purposes for us. Every one of us. Read more
