Last updated on: December 30, 2014 at 10:25 am By Mission:Work

"You can “bloom” whether you work in a secular or Christian setting. It’s imperative that we stop thinking that “full time Christian service” is more godly than being a banker, a veterinarian, an engineer, a scientist or a [fill in the blank with your vocation]." Read more

Best Practices for Peace in 2015: Fight For Peace

Last updated on: January 6, 2015 at 8:57 am By Guest Contributor

This post is part of a Patheos Public Square on best practices for peace. Though Rev. Hall speaks mainly of church relationships here, think about how her advice extends into your own workplace. By L. Elaine Hall Many Christian communities are terrible at navigating disagreement and difference. In the name of peace, we have become chronic conflict-avoiders. The result is not God’s shalom, but rather increasing division, mistrust, perpetual friction, and occasional eruptions. If we want to pursue peace in 2015, we... Read more

Christ the carpenter

Last updated on: January 5, 2015 at 8:09 pm By Made to Flourish

By Tim Soots, originally published at the KPN Resources blog Being a Reformed Christian, I am committed to the centrality of the mediatory work of Christ on our behalf. Christ stands as the perfect human who liberates humanity from sin and death and restores us to a right relationship within the Trinity. To the best of my understanding, this framework is the pivot point of the best theologies the church has to offer. However, I have been rather startled to... Read more

Best Practices for Peace in 2015: Create peace through your conflicts

Last updated on: January 6, 2015 at 8:58 am By Greg Forster

This post is part of a Patheos Public Square on best practices for peace. You can’t make peace if you don’t know what peace is. That much is clear from the daily headlines. I can’t think of a better “best practice for peace” than to reframe our lives around a more accurate view of what peace really is: not the absence of conflict, but the presence of right relationships. As Augustine once observed, everyone is for “peace” but everyone wants... Read more

New Year’s Eve: Eugene Peterson on Vocation

Last updated on: December 31, 2014 at 3:46 pm By Jeff Haanen

On New Years Eve, 1868, Andrew Carnegie sat alone in his room in the St. Nicholas Hotel in New York. Only 33 years old, he had already been successful beyond his wildest dreams. That year he made $56,110 and had accumulated $400,000 in assets. But his heart was restless. New Years Eve was a time of sober reflection for Scottish Calvinists. Though an atheist, Carnegie the Scot picked up a pen and wrote that night, “To continue much longer overwhelmed... Read more
