Bridegroom, Master, King

Matthew 25 tells three stories related to waiting. We have the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, the parable of the talents, and then we get a glimpse of the future when the Son of Man, on his throne, separates his people according to what was done while waiting for the king. These three stories relate how we are to live in the present, shaped and marke...

Epiphany Is Manifestation

By: Maria Fee Epiphany can be seen as manifestation of the divine. As Christians we believe God can break into our lives in real and tangible ways. Not as a distant fire or cloud, not like a scorching burning bush. Christmas means Epiphany came as a small vulnerable child needing to be held.

Why a Center for Faith and Work

By: Katherine Leary Alsdorf One of the things Martin Luther made very clear 400 years ago was that a “priestly calling” was in no way more pleasing to God than any other calling or vocation.

Work and Cultural Renewal: Amilee Watkins Joins CFW Team

By: Amilee Watkins “Coffee girl.” Once upon a time, I resented the phrase. I started working for Starbucks Coffee Company part-time while completing my degree in Instrumental Performance. I wanted to supplement my musician’s life with stability—pay, benefits, free coffee. Not being able to see seven years into the future, I had no idea that the Lor...

Work and Cultural Renewal

By: Timothy Keller I am often asked: “Should Christians be involved in shaping culture?” My answer is that we can’t not be involved in shaping culture. To illustrate this, I offer a very sad example. In the years leading up to the Civil War many southerners resented the interference of the abolitionists, who were calling on Christians to stamp out the si...
