The Church’s Mission for the Sake of the Kingdom of God

Last updated on: September 25, 2012 at 9:28 am By Bob Robinson

God’s Mission and Our Mission of Reconciliation The Church functions for the sake of the Kingdom of God, not the other way around. Over the centuries, the Church has placed itself at the center of God’s plan for the world, but God’s plan is the reconciliation of all things to himself (see my last article, “The Kingdom of God and the Reconciliation of All Things”), where all things again submit to the rule of God. This is The Kingdom of God. The church is the people of... Read more

Rediscover the Purpose of Your Work

Last updated on: September 22, 2012 at 11:01 am By Bob Robinson

by Diane Paddison Originally written for TheHighCalling.org [divider_line] I meet a lot of Christian working women who work full time in ministry or at other worthy nonprofits. Can I tell you a secret? I used to feel kind of jealous of those women. I imagined that they must enjoy some special sense of moral certainty about their work—as if it would be easier to make sacrifices for work if your work was asimportant and purposeful as theirs seemed. I was wrong. First, this... Read more

The Kingdom of God and the Reconciliation of All Things

Last updated on: September 20, 2012 at 1:54 pm By Bob Robinson

God’s Mission and Our Mission of Reconciliation People in the current culture have watched the Church’s dualistic approach to life (see my previous article, “The Holistic Gospel of Reconciliation“) and have determined that we are sheltered and out-of-touch. David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons, in their essential book, Unchristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity…and Why it Matters write, “Outsiders think Christianity is out of tune with the real-world choices, challenges, and lifestyles they face. Only one-fifth of young outsiders believe... Read more

How important is (re)integrating faith and work?

Last updated on: September 19, 2012 at 2:11 pm By Bob Robinson

In this video, Jenny White, Executive Director of Art House Dallas, talks about the importance of reintegrating faith into whatever work or talent we have been given by God. Jenny White: “In my work with Arthouse America, as I mentioned, we are working so hard to help people’s vocations that are, specifically not within the church, to be validated and to say, ‘What you’re doing and the way you use your platform whether you’re a musician or whether you’re...

The Holistic Gospel of Reconciliation

Last updated on: September 18, 2012 at 5:02 pm By Bob Robinson

God’s Mission and Our Mission of Reconciliation God’s mission through Christ is to reconcile all things back to himself (Colossians 1:20). This begins when he “reconciled us to himself through Christ,” and continues when we, as his “ambassadors,” perform “the ministry of reconciliation”(2 Corinthians 5:17-20). The Hebraic understanding is that “God is One” which undergirds the Christian view is that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all things. The problem, however, is that the evangelical Church in North America has... Read more

The Search for Veritas at Harvard

Last updated on: September 15, 2012 at 12:14 pm By Dr. Steven Garber

“I was just someone who shared notes, and now I’m implicated in this.” [four_fifth][dropcap]A[/dropcap]t least that is the way a Harvard undergraduate explains the cheating scandal that has recently rocked the school, and his own part in it. But if that is troubling in its own way, even more troubling is the lead op-ed in the New York Times today, which professes “bewilderment” at Harvard over what cheating is, viz. “it appears that, after decades of debate, Harvard students...

Entrusted with the Ministry of the Reconciliation of All Things

Last updated on: September 12, 2012 at 9:07 am By Bob Robinson

God’s Mission and Our Mission of Reconciliation God’s mission to reconcile all things to himself drives his purpose in calling a particular people to be the Church. As Ray Anderson, in his book The Soul of Ministry, states, “Mission precedes and creates the church.” The Church’s mission is determined first by God’s mission through Christ. And what is that mission? One of the major ways the Bible articulates God’s mission is “Reconciliation.” Let’s look at Colossians 1:15-20 with 2 Corinthians 5:17-20.... Read more
