We can’t create heaven on earth: more from #ActonU

Last updated on: August 5, 2015 at 1:35 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

More of our “correspondent on the spot” at Acton University! Read his first post here. And follow the Twitter feed from the conference here. By Edwin Woodruff Tait Last night’s lecture was a plenary session introducing the themes of Acton University as a whole. As a first time participant, I am required to attend four introductory lectures today which further lay out the basic principles that shape how Acton University addresses specific questions of politics and economics. Both the plenary... Read more

The refreshing difference at #ActonU

Last updated on: August 5, 2015 at 1:35 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

Lots of exciting things around here this week–in addition to the great debate about evangelizing in the workplace going on between the Faith and Work and Progressive Channels on Patheos Head-to-Head, my husband is also live-tweeting and blogging from Acton University in Grand Rapids, MI. Here’s his first post! By Edwin Woodruff Tait First of all, I should make it clear that I come to Acton University as a skeptic. My views on economic and political matters, such as they... Read more

Yes, You Can Talk About Christ Without Being A Jerk in the Workplace

Last updated on: June 16, 2015 at 4:34 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

This post is part of a feature from Patheos called Head to Head, and is a response to John Shore’s post entitled “10 Reasons It’s Wrong to Evangelize in the Workplace.” By Bill Peel As followers of Christ, we are called to be his witnesses. There’s not a lot of wiggle room there. Every Christian should be concerned about the spiritual welfare of his or her colleagues. However, how we go about communicating that concern doesn’t have to follow the... Read more

What is Your True North? The priority of purpose

Last updated on: July 29, 2015 at 2:44 pm By Justin Irving

Purpose matters. As evidenced by the popularity of Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life—a book that has sold over 30 million copies—people have an innate desire to know that their lives matter and that their lives are shaped by a sense of purpose. One CEO, Dave Dillon, expressed it this way: “All human beings want to find meaning in their lives.” Purpose and Leaders While purpose is a priority for all human beings engaged in all types of work, purpose...

Evangelism in the Workplace: Is Sharing Your Faith Ever Appropriate?

Last updated on: June 16, 2015 at 4:39 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

This post is part of a Patheos Head-to-Head on Evangelizing in the Workplace. By Bill Peel Count me among the growing number of people who believe faith matters at work, and that the more faith falls to our workday margins, the more dehumanizing work becomes. But to speak of faith while at work—that’s a subject about which Christians often butt heads. Many Christians wrongly think evangelism is a verbal message. They forget that to believe a message, you have to... Read more

Playing “Hokey Pokey” with the Gospel

Last updated on: June 5, 2015 at 5:30 pm By Guest Contributor

By Michael Coyner My E-pistle entitled “Mission Indiana” stirred up a lot of response. Most of it was positive, but some wrote to ask what I meant by challenging our congregations and pastors to be “all-in” for our mission? The best way I can answer that question is by reflecting upon the children’s game “Hokey-Pokey.” Remember how it works? You start by singing, “You put your right hand in, you pull your right hand out, then you shake it all... Read more

Luke’s Gospel of Jubilee

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 11:09 am By Oikonomia Network

By Keith Reeves Note: This article is the third of a three-part series on economic production and Jubilee in the Old and New Testaments. In previous articles we looked at the Jubilee in the Old Testament and why the Old and New Testaments treat wealth differently. Now we turn to Jubilee in the gospel of Luke. This gospel is famous for its deep concern with wealth and poverty, and space does not permit a full analysis of wealth in Luke... Read more

How to Pray for Specific Vocations

Last updated on: June 5, 2015 at 10:48 am By Guest Contributor

By Joanna Meyer; reprinted from the website of the Denver Institute for Faith and Work. Every Sunday, in churches across Colorado, worship leaders call attention to the needs of their communities and the world. Simply put, we pray for what we care about. Do the prayers you offer from the pulpit, in small group settings–or even in your personal prayer life–speak to the ways the members of your congregation labor every day? The staff at St. Gabriel the Archangel Episcopal Church in... Read more

Death and resurrection of an urban church

Last updated on: May 21, 2015 at 12:19 pm By Guest Contributor

This post comes to us from Duke Divinity School’s magazine Faith & Leadership, an offering of Leadership Education at Duke Divinity. Broadway United Methodist Church in Indianapolis has redefined what it means to serve its urban community. The approach is simple: See your neighbors as children of God. For an idea of how Broadway United Methodist Church is turning the model of the urban church inside out, look for a moment at its food pantry, clothing ministry and after-school program....

[VIDEO] Work is sacred

Last updated on: April 24, 2015 at 10:44 am By Made to Flourish

The first thing God did was work and build and create. The first thing He commanded us to do was to work the garden. As soon as you frame work as a sacred task, that changes everything. At that point, your work can be done as worship to God and love for your neighbor! —Chris Neal, Associate Pastor of Student Ministries at NewSong Church in San Dimas This post originally appeared at Made to Flourish.
