THE ROUNDUP
The best links I found this week
A Little Theology of Feasting (3 mins)
Don LaTorre / Layman’s Fitness
Our modern day feasts (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc…) are a staple of American culture.While it really is the most wonderful time of the year, I think the function of these feasts have been clouded by modern day individualism, and there are some things the Old Testament feasts can teach us about how to enjoy these gatherings.
A Biblical Overview of Productivity (5 mins)
David Kaywood / Pastors & Productivity
I got halfway through this article before I realized David was riffing on the 5 pillars my Redeeming Productivity book, but I loved David’s take on these five principles.
A biblical understanding of productivity is crucial for long-term results.
To that end, if asked to provide a scriptural and theological basis for a distinctly Christian worldview on productivity, I might provide the following.
Strangely Hospitable: What Sets Apart a Christian Home (7 mins)
Charisse Compton / Desiring God
A good reminder on Thanksgiving about what Christian hospitality is truly about.
Despite this rich biblical tradition, today’s hospitality is often reduced to a dinner invitation where the entrée, the skill of the host, or even authenticity is the main feature. But true hospitality is so much more than a meal; true hospitality displays something much more worthy than the abilities of the homemaker.
WHAT’S NEW ON
Redeeming Productivity
What Does the Bible Say About Manifestation? (43 mins)
Gratitude journals, vision boards, and daily affirmations are standard practices in self-development. But they are often built on unbiblical assumptions.
A DOSE OF WISDOM
Quote of the Week
“A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.”
Jonathan Edwards
