This post is part of a symposium between the Catholic, Evangelical, and Faith and Work Channels on spiritual disciplines for work. by Kris Camealy It’s 1:00 in the afternoon when I drag the lawn chair out from under the umbrella on the back patio. I’ve learned to protect with necessary vigilance this scheduled break in my day—a two-hour window that opens and closes quickly. This groove worn into my days since my children were born has grown into a sacred... Read more

Last updated on: April 26, 2015 at 5:05 pm By The High Calling

Exalt the LORD our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy! –Psalm 99:5 Psalm 99 opens by identifying God as king (99:1). He is not just any old king, however, but the “Mighty King” who is over all nations, and before whom all nations should “tremble” (99:1, 5). Thus Psalm 99:5 calls us to “Exalt the LORD our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy.” What does it mean to exalt God?... Read more

5 Unexpected Ways You Can Help Orphans

Last updated on: April 20, 2015 at 7:29 pm By The High Calling

We all know they’re out there, far across the oceans, or maybe even in our own backyards… Babies, toddlers, teenagers who for whatever reason are alone in this world. Orphans, with no one connected to them by blood, or law, they move through their lives at the mercy of those presently in charge of them. Next month, next year, or tomorrow, the crib they occupy could be given to another as they are moved to a different environment. Imagine a... Read more

Last updated on: April 20, 2015 at 6:42 pm By The High Calling

by Christine A. Scheller The first thing you need to know about Ari Handel, co-writer of the new film adaptation of the Noah story, is that he holds a PhD in neurobiology from New York University. Handel and director/co-writer Darren Aronofsky had been suitemates as Harvard University undergrads and began collaborating on films after Handel decided a career in science wasn’t right for him. His educational background hasn’t gone to waste, however. It informs his work and can be seen subtly weaving its... Read more

If I’m Suffering, Is God Punishing Me?

Last updated on: April 18, 2015 at 3:39 pm By The High Calling

by Mark Roberts Her adversaries have become rulers; her enemies relax. Certainly the LORD caused her grief because of her many wrong acts. Her children have gone away, captive before the enemy. (CEB) Lamentations 1:5 A young man named Don came to see me for pastoral counseling. As he shared his story, I could sense that he was deeply distressed.

5 Ways You Can Care for the Environment

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 3:29 pm By Dan King

I was surprised when a husband and wife in my small group study showed up at my house on a non-group night. He runs a cabinet company, and we just finished discussing the chapter on Creation Care in Activist Faith: From Him and For Him (NavPress), a book I co-authored with Dillon Burroughs and Daniel Darling. We had talked about recycling and reusing our waste, and our conversation made him think about waste they have at their cabinet shop. So they came by... Read more

The Disruption That is The Sabbath

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 9:04 am By The High Calling

Contemplating the Passion of Christ

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 8:59 am By The High Calling

by Gordon Atkinson Do you observe Good Friday? If you are part of a sacramental or liturgical Christian tradition, your church will probably have a service Friday night. Less formal traditions may not have official Good Friday services but may find other ways to present the story of the passion of Jesus. I want to invite you to join me in a more contemplative approach to receiving the passion story this year. Whether you attend a service tomorrow night or read... Read more
