Come and see Jesus

Last updated on: July 25, 2014 at 3:04 pm By Chris Armstrong

So here we are at the “Come and See” conference hosted by Steve Garber’s Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and Culture. And Steve opens up the conference by explaining to us the interesting title of the conference (with words to this effect – I don’t guarantee this is verbatim, though I use quotation marks): “My 3 year old granddaughter was trying out the pool with her new water wings, cautiously getting into the water, getting used to it step by...

Longing, ambition, and the life of faith

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:02 pm By Mission:Work

This interview from The Gospel Coalition’s “TGCvocations column” caught our eye recently, since the book it talks about is one of the monthly features in the Patheos Book Club this month. Every week over at TGC Bethany Jenkins talks to someone about how they are living out their faith through their work. A few weeks ago, she sat down with Jen Pollock Michel: Jen Pollock Michel lives in Toronto with her family. She’s the author of a forthcoming book from InterVarsity... Read more

“Christ plays in ten thousand places”

Last updated on: April 21, 2015 at 3:15 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Today, a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins that touched me about the way God calls each of us to become more fully who we are–and how Christ is always present with us, in us, and in the lives of those we meet. (Sorry to those of you who aren’t poetry fans. We try to be eclectic around here! We’ll have something different tomorrow….) 🙂 As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies dráw fláme; As tumbled over rim in roundy wells Stones ring;... Read more

What do you do when God seems absent from your work?

Last updated on: July 9, 2014 at 11:27 am By Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics

The Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics has been reflecting on that question over at their blog: What should our response be when we don’t feel like Jesus Christ is present in our work? Many tasks feel wholly separate from Christ’s great commission in our lives. Our jobs often feel mundane or lacking in holy purpose . This is an issue many of us struggle with, and Taylor Barkley of IFWE has a few Biblical principles to help: 1) Your... Read more

Will we work in heaven?

Last updated on: July 19, 2014 at 11:16 am By Made to Flourish

Have you ever thought about that question? Do you imagine work is something that heaven will finally free you from? Josh Brumbaugh is wondering about the same thing over at the Kern Pastors Network blog: If work is solely part of this broken, fallen world we live in – a “have to,” rather than a “get to” – it is a curse from which we will be liberated in glory. And thus, work has more in common with hell than... Read more

Why not take some time off?

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:02 pm By Mission:Work

So, I read this article over a year ago and I still haven’t been able to forget it. In today’s blogosphere, that almost counts as a classic….so I decided it was worth sharing with you all. It’s an opinion piece by tax lawyer Kelly Phillips Erb, and she begins by musing: In my first real job as an attorney, I made a huge mistake: I assumed I would have some time off. I had so much faith, in fact, that... Read more

“Shalom starts at home”: Housing problems, poverty, and how to change the world

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:02 pm By Mission:Work

Recently, Comment magazine ran a two-part interview on their website with Jonathan Bradford, CEO of the Inner City Christian Federation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in conjunction with their June issue on Christianity and the city. Many of us are interested in urban renewal and in alleviating poverty–but we don’t know where to start. Jonathan had plenty to say on the subject to his interviewer, James K.A. Smith of Comment. Here’s a sample. First, he talked about the three specific areas ICCF involves... Read more

Why work?

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:02 pm By Mission:Work

Yes, I wonder about that question too. 🙂 One of the most famous musings on the subject was written by Dorothy L. Sayers–better known to many of us as the author of the Lord Peter Wimsey series of detective novels–over seventy years ago, in 1942. She wrote in a different time and place–wartime Britain, full of deprivations and ration coupons, before today’s era of interconnected technologies and ever-changing vocational landscapes. But her words still echo down the decades: If we... Read more
