Assembling culture

Last updated on: December 1, 2014 at 4:34 pm   By Guest Contributor

By Christ John Otto, adapted from a mailing to the Belonging House ministry in greater Boston. Has God ever told you that your vision is too small?  I have been working on a book about the most overlooked person in the Bible–Bezalel.  The things that I have learned about this prophet who made the Ark of the Covenant and designed the Tabernacle have astounded me.  I have been even more astounded that so little is written about him.  More space... Read more

From the archives: The problem with doing what you love

Last updated on: November 24, 2014 at 1:39 pm   By Mission:Work

No matter what you do and what you are paid, says Paul, "It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” In this way, Christians are to be concerned more with doing what God would have us do than with what anyone, including ourselves, might otherwise love. Read more

Vocation and Jobs

Last updated on: December 1, 2014 at 4:24 pm   By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Frederick W. Schmidt, Jr. I’ve been through two employment crises. Three if you include the uncertain business of doing doctoral work against the backdrop of a changing academy and a shrinking church. This is a piece of what I have learned: Focus on vocation — on God’s calling on your life. That calling won’t have a title or a job description attached to it. You won’t find it on an “org chart.” It might not even be one... Read more

Faith, Work, and #Ferguson: An Opportunity for Us?

Last updated on: December 3, 2014 at 9:14 pm   By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Vincent Bacote Ferguson, MO has become an emblem, mirror and prism of some of the great challenges that remain in our society. While the debates and punditry will likely continue, and while there are multiple points of discussion, the events there give a significant opportunity for Christians to contribute to the common good and the flourishing of public life. “Common good” and “public life” often lead us to consider the very important work of politics; unquestionably political concerns... Read more

Economic wisdom in 12 bullet points

Last updated on: November 18, 2014 at 12:17 pm   By Made to Flourish

By Drew Cleveland. Originally posted at the Kern Pastors Network Resources blog. People love lists!  We naturally categorize, organize, and label to cultivate order out of chaos. Even those who are disorganized find value in organization. This is one of the Creator’s strongest imprints on us. Perhaps more telling than we realize is one of the first tasks God gave to Adam in the garden – the naming of the animals! Last month, we posted a short list of the... Read more
