A Gift to the World

As I began to explain our mission, I could tell there was a mental obstacle.“So, you can’t evangelize in schools or business or the government,” he said. “So what it is exactly you’re trying to accomplish?”Before I could reply, […]

Intergenerational Friendship

  Take a second and picture some of your closest friends. Now think of people who have served as your most influential mentors. I’d be willing to bet that with few exceptions, the same faces didn’t appear as both “friends” and “mentors.” In all likelihood, most of your friends shared experiences with you in the […]

The Missional Vocation of the Church

The Scriptures teach that in Jesus Christ, God is taking his sin-marred creation and redemptively restoring it in every part, until at last all things are made new.

God’s Sabbath Confronts Our Success

By Ryan Farrell By the end of the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing and demanding long and brutal workweeks from working class adults and children alike. Then Henry Ford came along and concluded that something had to be done. So he instituted a 40-hour workweek for all of his factories — and […]
Work is the New Sex (Part 2)

By Skye JethaniOur culture is not very good with boundaries. We frequently confuse license with liberty; we think that freedom requires the absence of any restriction. This is certainly true in our cultural attitude about sex; Previous generations passed laws regulating acceptable sexual behavior, defining marriage, limiting appropriate dress for women and men, or restricting […]
