This joyful #Eastertide

Last updated on: April 3, 2015 at 10:12 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Words by George R. Woodward This joyful Eastertide, away with care and sorrow! My Love, the Crucified, hath sprung to life this morrow. Had Christ, that once was slain, ne’er burst his three-day prison, our faith had been in vain; but now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen. Death’s flood hath lost its chill, since Jesus crossed the river: Lover of souls, from ill my passing soul deliver. Had Christ, that once was slain, ne’er burst his three-day prison, our...

#HolySaturday: Silence while God redeems all

Last updated on: April 4, 2015 at 11:19 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

One of the greatest sermons ever written on what this day means, written in Greek in the fourth century by an unknown author. Found numerous places on the Internet: the first one I bumped into was here. Something strange is happening—there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he... Read more

More disciples, not more members: #6 in a series

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 12:21 pm By Guest Contributor

Last in a series of posts on Luther, Lutherans, and calling by Lutheran pastor Adam Roe with responses over at Cranach by Gene Veith. See the whole series at the bottom of this post. My purpose has not been to offer a systematic or polemical theology. My desire is to give a theological explanation for the history of the Lutheran view of Christian Vocation. Whether readers agree with the theological reactions against Rome, it is my hope that people see... Read more

The agony: a poem for #GoodFriday

Last updated on: April 3, 2015 at 9:50 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Emerging Scholars Network posted this poem yesterday in honor of Maundy Thursday. It seems applicable to all the events of Holy Week, so inspired by them I want to share it with you today, on that Friday we call Good. The Agony (George Herbert) Philosophers have measur’d mountains, Fathom’d the depths of seas, of states, and kings, Walk’d with a staff to heaven, and traced fountains: But there are two vast, spacious things, The which to measure it doth more...

Simple service: Some thoughts for #MaundyThursday

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 10:34 am By Guest Contributor

By R. Dale Hale Last Saturday, I was privileged to play a very special role in our church’s observance of Palm weekend. Saturday, we had an all day event that mimics VBS with crafts, music and a Bible lesson. The Bible lesson is obviously about Palm Sunday. I was asked to play the role of Jesus. In about an hour, the triumphal entry, the last supper, the Garden scene, and the resurrection all occur. As Jesus, I don’t say a... Read more

“I Don’t Have a Job, I Have a Higher Calling:” Responses to the #WSJ article

Last updated on: March 26, 2015 at 12:59 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel In “I Don’t Have a Job. I Have a Higher Calling” (WSJ, Business & Tech, Feb. 25), Rachel Feintzeig captured the spirit of a LeTourneau University education. A few examples: Bob Walker, CEO of Walker Mowers (1963 LeTourneau engineering grad) wants his employees to know that they do more than design and manufacture lawn mowers. They make beautiful places that contribute to human flourishing. Paul Abbott, CEO of Covington Aircraft, (1967 LeTourneau aviation grad) says they don’t just... Read more

Christianity IS a patent medicine

Last updated on: April 4, 2015 at 12:21 pm By Greg Forster

This post is part of a Patheos-wide symposium on the question “What good is religion?” Read other perspectives here. Few questions are as treacherous as “does religion benefit society?” The true answer is yes, but it’s one of the most dangerous truths you’ll ever come across. And the more socially beneficial a religion is, the more dangerous it is to know that about it. C.S. Lewis, asked whether the faith would solve people’s problems and make them happy, replied: “Christianity... Read more

Moving the pastor out of the center: #5 in a series

Last updated on: March 18, 2015 at 11:39 am By Guest Contributor

Fifth in a series of posts on Luther, Lutherans, and calling by Lutheran pastor Adam Roe with responses over at Cranach by Gene Veith. See the whole series at the bottom of this post. They’ll appear from time to time in this space for the next couple of weeks. Enjoy! Lest one imagine that the priesthood of all believers is merely an academic topic for Lutherans, we need only to compare Protestant conceptions of the state of the medieval church... Read more

The year of jubilee

Last updated on: March 24, 2015 at 1:35 pm By Oikonomia Network

By Keith Reeves Note: This article is the first of a three-part series on economic production and Jubilee in the Old and New Testaments. Stay tuned for the other two! Jubilee is often proclaimed as a time when debts are forgiven and land is redistributed so everyone can begin again with a fresh start. I have personally heard sermons to that effect, and one does not need to dig too deeply on the Internet to find this view expressed. But... Read more

I once was found but now am lost?

Last updated on: March 24, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Those of you who frequent this channel and not just this blog may have noticed a teeny weeny blog post over at M:W’s sister blog The High Calling called “Trapped: The Church Vocation Issue We Don’t Talk About.” In it author Gordon Atkinson notes: There are thousands of ministers out there who no longer wish to be ministers. They no longer want to work in churches. They don’t want to do it anymore. But they don’t know how to leave.... Read more
