[VIDEO] How do you handle mistakes?

Last updated on: August 11, 2014 at 9:48 am By The High Calling

Professional cargo pilot Norm Goodyear has a few words of wisdom for us today about how to handle mistakes without dwelling on them: “If you dwell on your mistakes, whether it’s as a pilot or child of God or whatever, you’re going to keep looking in the past. In an airplane, as well as life, you’re going at 300 to 500 miles an hour.” This is part of our ongoing feature in this space of clips from a wonderful YouTube... Read more

God has many kinds of servants (says Martin Luther)

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 1:58 pm By Mission:Work

This is one more excerpt from our friends at Christian History Institute and their great new issue of Christian History about work, calling, and vocation in the history of the church. (The deadline to sign up and get a copy is ⇒TODAY⇐, and you can do that here.) In 1530 Martin Luther wrote a treatise, “On Keeping Children in School”--ironically, arguing that young men should stay in school so that they could become preachers like himself–in which he also commented on the high regard in which...

Three ways to help the poor

Last updated on: August 8, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Made to Flourish

This is a subject our friends at the Kern Pastors Network blog talk about frequently, and they’ve just put up another good post on the issue. The post, by pastor Blaine Crawford, starts by talking about a great way his church connects work with everyday life and everyday ministry: Every month at Lakeview Community Church, the deacons invite a different organization — one working to improve society — to share its mission, its work, and its volunteer opportunities with the...

“Have I no harvest but a thorn to let me blood?”

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 1:58 pm By Mission:Work

Since our last poem in this space turned out to be surprisingly popular, here’s another of my favorites about those times when following one’s calling seems difficult. This poem has been interpreted as Herbert’s wrestling with his own calling of being a priest, and much of the imagery speaks to that. But it has something to say to all of us, I think. The Collar By George Herbert I struck the board, and cried, “No more; I will abroad!... Read more

Five ways companies practice their faith

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 1:59 pm By Mission:Work

A really interesting article showed up the other day on FaithStreet’s blog OnFaith. Author Chris Horst, spurred by the recent Hobby Lobby decision, wondered about the different way faith is expressed in the corporate marketplace: Since the Hobby Lobby case, there’s been lots of talk about what makes a corporation “religious,” if anything. Of course, corporations can’t really be religious, but their founders can and are, and they often express their religion in and through their corporations. Religion plays a... Read more

Work–curse or calling?

Last updated on: November 6, 2014 at 2:34 pm By Mission:Work

That’s the question that Christians in the Visual Arts asked a bunch of artists, and then stood back to see what they came up with. You can see the results at their site. According to CIVA, WORK Curse or Calling? invites artists to picture “work” in its many applications in the Christian experience — work on the job, in the studio, in the church, in the field, in the home, and as portrayed in the pages of Scripture — so that,...

Jobs you couldn’t do in the early church. Really.

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 1:59 pm By Mission:Work

This comes via our friends at Christian History Institute and their great new issue of Christian History about work, calling, and vocation in the history of the church. (You have until August 9 to sign up and get a copy, which you can do here.) One of the articles spotlights all the jobs which early Christians found problematic, and asked that converts stop doing before they were baptized. (Preparation for baptism was a three-year affair in the early church, spent in listening... Read more
