If you haven’t paid a visit lately to a blog over on the Evangelical Channel, Cranach: The Blog of Veith (Christianity, Culture, Vocation), you probably should. First off, who is Gene Veith? He is…. Provost and Professor of Literature at Patrick Henry College, the Director of the Cranach Institute at Concordia Theological Seminary, a columnist for World Magazine and TableTalk, and the author of 18 books on different facets of Christianity & Culture. Then, who or what was Cranach? He was a friend of Martin Luther’s who did much to... Read more

Does blue-collar work have any meaning?

Last updated on: June 25, 2014 at 10:21 am By Guest Contributor

Today guest contributor Larry Saunders writes about moving from the white-collar to the blue-collar workplace—and back to the white-collar world because his blue-collar work failed to fulfill. Does his experience sound like yours? How and where have you found meaning in work? What would you say to him? There was never a doubt in my mind that I would end up in the “white collar” world, at least from the age I got realistic about my future and stopped wanting... Read more

Can you really trust anyone over 30?

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:16 pm By Mission:Work

A little while ago James K. A. Smith wrote these words on the website of Comment magazine about his experience playing youth hockey in Canada: When you’re ten years old, you think this is just part of the furniture of the cosmos; something given, natural, and taken for granted—that Saturday morning clinics and Tuesday night practices are just part of the rhythm of the universe, as if when God said, “Let there be light,” the big klieg lights in the rafters of...

How can you help the poor?

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 10:06 am By Made to Flourish

Earlier this year on the Kern Pastors Network Drew Cleveland called attention to the book The Poverty of Nations by Wayne Grudem and Barry Asmus, and to Greg Forster’s review of it on the Gospel Coalition’s website. That review concluded, There is nothing wrong with writing a book about policy, of course; I’ve done the same myself. And economic policy is part of the culture, not separate from it. But precisely for that reason, getting the culture at large right is... Read more

[VIDEO] How can we cross the political divide?

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 10:05 am By Oikonomia Network

Recently on the Oikonomia Network author and Detroit pastor Chris Brooks shared an excerpt from his new book, Urban Apologetics: Why the Gospel is Good News for the City. He reminded his readers, To those who are willing to put in the hard work of learning how to engage socially without compromising biblically will be given a harvest of souls. And this is our ultimate goal. Unlike secularists who are attempting to establish a utopia on earth (which can never come about... Read more

Where is God when you’re unemployed?

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:16 pm By Mission:Work

Recently at On Faith, writer and university professor Halee Gray Scott talked about what happened to her family in the Great Recession: I was nine months pregnant when my husband, Paul, decided to quit his job in 2009 — right after the economy took a nosedive. The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its biggest single-day decline in its 124-year history, obliterating more than $1.2 trillion in market value. American and European banks failed. The S&P 500 lost 21.6% of its... Read more
