The Role of Business in the Creation Mandate

This formulation of the purpose of business makes the particular goods and services to be produced a relevant consideration. Specifically, are they goods and services that God would want to make available to the world at this time? Many times I have met with Christians in business who have suggested that the specific output of […]

Productivity and Grace: Management and Labor at a Denver Manufacturer

There’s a simple reason why manual laborers are called “blue-collar”: The color blue, it turns out, hides dirt better than the white seen in office buildings. But “blue collar” defines more than work apparel, of course. It defines industry, even a way of life. And its stereotypes are often unflattering. But a metal products manufacturer […]

Education and Christian Faith

As soon as Christians bring up the topic of faith and education, they quickly divide into two camps. On one side are those that argue passionately for educational equity, and see the foundational expression of the Christian faith in public education as one of equal access and “closing the achievement gap.” Here, justice is the issue. […]

A New Way to Practice Law

“I want to leave you with two practical things that changed the way I practice law and changed my life.” It was with these words that Judge Hegarty capped off the panel discussion at the law forum on February 25. The panel brought together a unique mix of wisdom, professional experience, theological insight and humility. […]

What is Justice?

“I don’t remember talking much in law school about justice actually was,” said Steve Thompson, Executive Director of the Justice and Mercy Legal Aid Clinic (JAMLAC). “And I don’t remember coming out of law school understanding what justice was.”Steve gave a short yet powerful talk at the 2014 law forum on the theme of justice […]

Fear and the Legal Profession

“Do not be afraid,”  (Matt. 1:27).  “Fear not,” (Is. 41:13).  “Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid,”  (Jn. 14:27).  Repeatedly throughout Scripture, we are exhorted to have no fear except the reverent fear of God  (Prov. 1:7).  Yet the legal profession is rife with fear. We attorneys fear judges; malpractice suits; […]

Work “Rhythms” for the Local Church

After reading books on vocation, attending “faith and work” conferences, and committing to “cultural renewal,” most pastors will begin to ask, “So what?” That is, now that we’ve decided work is so important for both discipleship and mission, what difference does all of this make in congregational life? How should it influence our Sunday gatherings, […]

Platform

“So basically, you’re just saying that I need to get famous before you’d be interested in working with me?” The question, posed by a potential client, jarred me in its frustration and starkness. At the same time – and in a surprising way – it resonated deeply with my own questions and concerns. As a […]

Law, Downstream From Culture

A trial in France recently sent off cultural waves with strong moral and cultural implications. A group of Roma (also known as gypsies) was accused of selling child brides and training them to steal. One of the intriguing aspects of the case was the legal defense offered on behalf of the Roma: they simply were […]

Bread, Wine and Work

“For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:26 “I’m not religious, but I am spiritual,” goes the common American saying. There is a world of assumptions behind those two words “religious” and “spiritual.” “Religious” implies church, priests or pastors, other people, tradition, […]
Health By Numbers

A patient stands out from my early days as a physician. She was a person of little education, of a socioeconomic class that few valued, in her sixties with advanced lung cancer. Already beyond a surgical cure, there were chemotherapeutic agents that the data showed might help, though only in small numbers of cases, and […]

Andy Crouch Speaks at DIFW Luncheon

“Power tends to corrupt,” said Lord Acton, “and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It’s a famous dictum that’s repeated in political, economic and even church contexts alike. But is it true? When Andy Crouch decided to write a book several years ago on the topic of power, his friends tried to persuade him otherwise. “Why not […]
