Does the perfect job exist? A Lenten thought

Last updated on: February 18, 2015 at 4:40 pm By Mission:Work

Madison Perry of the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and Culture has been wondering that himself: Do you feel trapped in an occupation? When asked to describe the perfect job, I often find myself frustrated, exclaiming: “It doesn’t exist!” Recently, a friend confessed a dark day-dream: at least once a day he imagines that if he were to die, the world would go on fine without him. He imagines this because his job isn’t that important. Everywhere he goes he... Read more

The miracles of the everyday

Last updated on: February 17, 2015 at 9:46 am By Guest Contributor

This post is adapted from a sermon preached by TJ Tetzlaff on February 15, 2015 on these Scripture texts. There is a story about a girl on her first day of college, waiting in line with her family to register for classes. And while she’s standing there she has this overwhelming feeling of anxiety and apprehension about school and she is convinced she isn’t capable of the work. And as she’s turning around to tell her parents that she can’t... Read more

From a blog about work, you want a love poem about daily life, right?

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 4:14 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

On the Road Not on the mountaintop, but in the aisles, Not in the death, but in the daily grief Where sometimes faith is born and sometimes doubt, Where stern deception batters at belief, The day after the triumph, and the day Before amazing thunderbolts break through– In passing in the night, beneath the clouds We glimpse behind the veil, at last see through. If we cannot be faithful in the hours Between the joy and underneath the pain, Daily... Read more

Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 11:57 am By Mission:Work

Recent research published in The Atlantic indicates that folks in creative and professional jobs might benefit from a differently structured workday: “A shorter workday works particularly well for knowledge workers—people in creative or professional jobs—who can work productively for about six hours a day, compared to the eight hours manual laborers can churn out, according to Salon. Unlike machines, humans operate on a cyclical basis, which means our energy and motivation fluctuate in peaks and troughs. Cognitive workers tend to be more focused... Read more

What are your goals for the coming year? They may be too small

Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 10:00 am By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel In 1954, a young man accepted the call to become the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Over the next fourteen years he devoted his life to confronting racism in America and mobilized thousands of Americans to join him in non-violent civil disobedience to laws that were unjust to minority Americans. What was it that motivated Martin Luther King, Jr.’s tireless efforts? It was a dream, given by God, and so eloquently expressed on... Read more

Cleaning house

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 7:15 pm By Oikonomia Network

By Keith Reeves, professor of biblical studies, Azusa Pacific University The temple cleansing narrative, found in all four Gospels, is a fascinating story. And if popular appeals to the story are anything to go by, it appears to have contemporary relevance for the church. Given that a lot of Christians are talking about this passage and applying it to today’s issues, theological educators ought to help the church discern the significance of the narrative more fully. These passages have been... Read more
