Weekly Word
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
– Romans 12:2
Productivity that honors Christ flows from a mind renewed by His truth. As we submit our plans, values, and days to Him, we learn to pursue what really matters and do it in a way that brings Him glory.
Worth Your Time
- Strategic Underperformance: The Hidden Productivity Hack (2 mins) The author makes a valid point about trade-offs. My only concern is that this could be construed as a denial of Ecclesiastes 9:10. If we can’t do everything with excellence, perhaps we are committed to too many things. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
- Surviving the Social Media Flood of Life Advice (14 mins) John Piper offers wisdom on how to navigate our lives toward God-honoring aspirations, when we are daily flooded with worldly wisdom telling us what they think we should want out of life.
- Your Work Is an Apologetic (5 min) “Most of us will never stand in front of crowds (like Huff) or make headlines (like Kennedy). But every faithful act of work can point to something beyond itself.”
Words of Wisdom
“The church’s approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours and to come to church on Sundays. What the church should be telling him is this: That the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables.”
– Dorothy Sayers
