Message: You might be interested in this article by Mike Metzger from the Trinity Forum Academy's online newsletter CONVERSATIONS. The opening text is below; see this link for the rest: http://www.ttf.org/index/conversations/detail/seamless-faith/ ---------- Seamless Faith Mike Metzger, president of The Clapham Institute, works to help people and organizations advance faith-centered cultural reform. In this essay, he discusses the need to view worship, art, work, service, and ministry as part of the same “fabric.” “Albert Einstein reminded us that we cannot solve a problem in the framework that created it. This is why efforts to ‘integrate faith and work’ generally fail.” Imagine this. Here’s an easy way to see the disconnect between Sunday and Monday. Ask a friend to draw the first five images that come to mind when he or she hears these words: worship, work, ministry, the arts and service. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, we now have five thousand words depicting the disconnect. We also have a clearer picture as to why efforts to “integrate faith and work” generally fail. ---------- The entry has 1000 more words. http://www.ttf.org/index/conversations/detail/seamless-faith/

The question is not what a man can scorn, or disparage, or find fault with, but what he can love, and value, and appreciate.
