Vocational discipleship – Roger Walton

“This time tomorrow – when we are in that place that God wants us to be in our employment or our community or our home or our work we’re dispersed but we are still the church.

We’re the church when we gather; we’re the church when we’re dispersed … it gives us a rhythm – we gather and disperse, we gather and disperse.

The people of God come together to praise God and to reflect on God, to hear God’s word and disperse to be part of what God is doing in the world and to meet God in that place. To hear God’s word in their work, and in their family and in their community and the issues of their context …

And then perhaps to gather that and bring it back to the gathered church and say, “Look what I have discovered about God. This in my place is how God is speaking and prompting and leading.” (Revd Dr Roger Walton)

God’s Plan for Work – Matthias Media publication

God’s Plan for Work is a neat little publication from Matthias Media. ?It includes three articles from Paul Grimmond that were previously published in The Briefing. ?

I picked up my copy at Koorong recently but you can read (and download) the PDF’s of the three articles as follows:

  1. God’s plan for work: the cultural mandate
  2. Vocation: What’s that?
  3. Work, value and the gospel

Breaking Down the Sacred-Secular Divide

The BAM (Business as Mission) Review has published a summary of a series of articles from Mike Baer, a leading thinker in the BAM movement.

Read the summary here?and the full series of articles here.

Baer suggests five ways to address the issue of the SSD:

  1. Recognize False Concepts For What They Are
  2. Be Clear in Biblical vs. Unbiblical Distinctions?
  3. Focus on the Holy ONE Instead of Holy PLACES?
  4. Recover and Teach the Priesthood of All Believers
  5. Celebrate the Lordship of Christ In and Over All Things

The Gospel at Work – How working for King Jesus gives meaning and purpose to our jobs

The Gospel at WorkThe Gospel at Work – How working for King Jesus gives meaning and purpose to our jobs?is the latest in a series of books (For example, Work Matters – Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday work by Tom Nelson and?Every Good Endeavour – connecting your work to God’s plan for the world by Tim Keller) designed to outline a clear theology work before discussing the implications of this for a range of issues facing Christians in the workplace.

?My plan is to blog my way through this book as, even a quick scan, indicates it as a highly valuable resource. ?

So here’s some basic information before we get into a chapter-by chapter look at what authors Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert have to say:

  • The book is available in paperback and Kindle format – a very easy read
  • David Platt writes the foreword
  • Free downloadable 6 session Study Guide if available – you need to sign up to get access
  • Short video introductions for each session are also available via a YouTube channel. ?Check out Session 1 – The Challenge: Idol vs. Idle?here.? [Read more…] about The Gospel at Work – How working for King Jesus gives meaning and purpose to our jobs
