[VIDEO] Those who love and those who labor follow in the way of Christ

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 2:24 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

More great hymns for Labor Day–and by extension for celebrating the ministry of all God’s people during worship–keep showing up. Here’s another one a friend just called our attention to: Those who love and those who labour, follow in the way of Christ;Thus the first disciples found him, thus the gift of love sufficed.Jesus says to those who seek him, I will never pass you by;Raise the stone and you shall find me; cleave the wood, and there am I.Where...

Your annual Happy Vocation Day post

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 2:19 pm By Mission:Work

Every year on this day we call attention to this neat post by Gene Veith over at his blog, Cranach, on why we celebrate Labor Day. (Hey, this is a blog about faith and work, so you expected a lot of posts on Labor Day, right?) Most people probably don’t know what they are celebrating on Labor Day–”something about Unions”–but we here at the Cranach blog have long sought to fill this holiday with meaning by turning it into a...

Every task, however simple, sets the soul that does it free

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 2:22 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

I knew Henry van Dyke wrote The Other Wise Man, but until we sang it at my church, I didn’t know he wrote this hymn, suitable for Labor Day: 1. Jesus, Thou divine companion, By Thy lowly human birth Thou hast come to join the workers, Burden bearers of the earth. Thou, the carpenter of Nazareth, Toiling for Thy daily food, By Thy patience and Thy courage, Thou hast taught us toil is good. 2. They who tread the path of... Read more

The number 1 challenge in connecting Sunday to Monday

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 2:02 pm By Made to Flourish

There is a growing movement across the country among pastors and congregational leaders to think more deeply about how Sunday faith connects to Monday work. In the last several years, there have been scores of new books, articles, blogs, and conferences on the subject. The messages, though varied, often incorporate some or all of the following ideas: Our work, whether paid or unpaid, has great value because we are made in the image of a working God. Therefore, work is... Read more

Even the New York Times is wondering about the spirituality of work

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 1:54 pm By Mission:Work

…or so it would seem from an article that appeared there last Sunday: Gallup regularly polls workers around the world to find out. Its survey last year found that almost 90 percent of workers were either “not engaged” with or “actively disengaged” from their jobs. Think about that: Nine out of 10 workers spend half their waking lives doing things they don’t really want to do in places they don’t particularly want to be. Why? One possibility is that it’s...

5 kids’ movies that teach us ALL things we really need to know

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 7:15 pm By Guest Contributor

By Nathan Roberts 1. Toy Story III A spry student could probably write a whole thesis––or maybe even a dissertation, for all I know––about how the Toy Story films function as allegorical explorations of how we ought to live in a world governed by an unpredictable God. The toys are are our heroes, but the films are just as much about their Owner, Andy. If A Bugs Life presents a world in which the closest thing our heroes have to... Read more

A New Disney for a Renewed America

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 2:52 pm By Greg Forster

There’s a lot of talk these days about the fragmentation of American culture. While America has always had an important level of religious diversity, today we just don’t seem to have anything in common. We live in separate moral universes, and we seem to encounter each other only on the battlefield. Our imaginative worlds are also separate; everyone watches different movies and shows, reads different blogs, listens to different music. There’s a lot of truth to this. But there is... Read more

How are movies morally forming our children? We asked an actual 8-year-old

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 5:00 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

What are the best five animated movies you’ve seen that were made in the last ten years? I’d say the three Miyazaki movies: Ponyo, Arietty, and Up on Poppy Hill, and also Frozen and Brave. What do you like so much about Ponyo? It’s kind of funny, and I like how Miyazaki likes to put pollution in it to show people what can happen. Also I like [Richard] Wagner, and Ponyo has a little bit of Wagner in it, and... Read more
