Neo-Dortian? Neo-Puritan? Neo-Nuff?

Last updated on: June 27, 2014 at 3:17 pm By Bob Robinson

So I wrote this post last month on why the “New Calvinism” (the young, restless, and Reformed group) should not be called “Neo-Calvinism” – that Neo-Calvinism sees the Gospel as the redemption of all creation while this new group sees the Gospel as the salvation of individuals. See “So What’s Wrong with Neo-Calvinism?” In “Naming the New Calvinism,” Timothy Paul Jones, Associate Professor of Leadership and Church Ministry at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has written a post that helps...

Satisfaction in Work

Last updated on: June 27, 2014 at 12:18 pm By Bob Robinson

At the end of a long day of doing lawn work—mowing, weeding, doing the mulch, trimming the hedges, edging the flower gardens, cutting down dead tree branches—I love to sit on my back deck with a cold lemonade and look at the work of my hands. “Ahhhh… This is satisfying!” I am proud of my work. I see all that I’ve done, and it is good. We are created in the image of this working God – the God who finds satisfaction and... Read more

Missional: Sent to “Where?”

Last updated on: June 23, 2014 at 6:15 pm By Bob Robinson

We are not sent to a “place” but to be the “alternative” in the place we are. In his essay “Evangelism and Discipleship,” found in the book The Word That Redescribes the World: The Bible and Discipleship, Walter Brueggemann does an excellent job of giving the biblical, theological, and ecclesiastical realities of how God calls and sends his people. Evangelism and mission as going hand-in-hand: when God calls, he sends. But to where is God sending us? Brueggemann wisely points out, “It is clear... Read more

Contextualizing the Gospel for the Postmodern Culture

Last updated on: June 20, 2014 at 1:43 pm By Bob Robinson

Ross Hastings, Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology at Regent College, offers this very helpful list of what it takes to contextualize the gospel in our postmodern culture, not only for the sake of evangelism, but also for the sake of the health of the local church and our teaching. ______ “With respect to the West in particular, what are the contextualizations required in a postmodern context? a humble posture of “faith seeking understanding,” which has always been theology at its...

Who Am I? Rooting Your Identity in the Image of God

Last updated on: June 17, 2014 at 10:41 am By Bob Robinson

A few years ago, I wrote the cover article for Comment Magazine’s annual “Making the Most of College” issue. While it is written to college students, the principles of how the image of God provides our identity in our work is applicable to everyone. By special arrangement with Cardus, I’ve been given permission to provide this to our readers here at Reintegrate. Originally in Comment Magazine, September 2008, published by Cardus. Read more

Leadership Influence: Beyond the Stereotype

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 2:12 pm By Bob Robinson

What is a leader? Is a leader someone who has all the answers? Is it someone with authority? Or, is it someone who makes the sacrifices necessary to empower and encourage others to engage and to work together toward common goals and solutions? Some of us have experienced people who think of themselves as leaders, who have an arrogant swagger, a desire for power, a smug know-it-all attitude. And we naturally find such an image unseemly. This is not the... Read more

Three Ideas for Dealing with Difficult People at Work

Last updated on: June 8, 2014 at 9:30 pm By Glynn Young

A new person had joined the department. The director walked her around, introducing her to the various teams and people. And then she came back, visiting people in their offices and cubicles, seeking the answer to her most pressing question. “Where are the real power centers around here?” “What?” I responded, unsure if I had heard correctly. “Who are the power people in the department? I don’t have time to waste finding out on my own.” She was serious. I... Read more

How God is Glorified with a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Last updated on: June 4, 2014 at 6:25 pm By Mike Wittmer

How, through our vocations, we are the means through which God bestows blessings. Consider all the effort that goes into a humble peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. It’s relatively easy for me – I simply go to the cupboard, open a couple jars, and slap two slices of bread together. But it’s so convenient only because hundreds, perhaps thousands, of others have faithfully fulfilled their personal vocations on my behalf. I can’t possibly list them all, but there are the growers of the... Read more
