What happens when you open a jar of peanut butter?
Over the past five years of opening a new jar, has something jumped out? Some new form of life?
Charles Darwin on Creation
In "The Origin of Species," Darwin wanted to describe the millions of years and our time within it as a "fragment" compared to the whole. As he wrote about this timeframe, he let slip his view on the formation of life...
Read this quote:
"The whole history of the world, as at present known, although of a length quite incomprehensible by us, will hereafter be recognised as a mere fragment of time, compared with the ages which have elapsed since the first creature, the progenitor of innumerable extinct and living descendants, was created."
Charles Darwin - The Origin of Species - Chapter 14.
"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
Charles Darwin
"When I look at the evidence, without ruling out the possibility of design, design leaps up as the most likely explaination. And thats why I believe its true."
"I think design is back on the table. We can't explain these systems by natural law. And if we're seaching for truth and they are in fact designed, and we have to be design engineers to understand them, then I say, "what's the problem." You go where the data leads you. And the implications, yea, they have profound metaphysical implications. But, so be it."
Is business either a means to an end, for example opening for evangelism, or an end in itself, to bring salt and light? Either perspective can be held by a Kingdom person but for the kingdom business person the question of, “Why am I in business not out starting churches or working as a pastor?” may continually haunt. Let us assume for this article that this person is a Christian and recognizes that God is the ultimate owner of the business. Let’s also assume that the business person is a good leader, which includes treating employees and customers with respect and dignity. But why be in business why not go into social work or any other nonprofit work? Many have postulated that going into business should be as much a call as going into a professional ministry like being a church leader or a professional helper like being a social worker1. But to what does God call business people? I would like to propose a variety of callings that can all fit the roll of Kingdom business.
Father, God bless all my family & friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.
Below is an illustration of God's redemptive nature - received via email - and now passed on to you.
As I faced my Maker at the last judgment, I knelt before the Lord along with all the other souls.
Before each of us laid our lives like the squares of a quilt in many
piles; an angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together
into a tapestry that is our life.
But as my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how
ragged and empty each of my squares was. They were filled with giant
holes. Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been
difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in every day
life. I saw hardships that I endured, which were the largest holes of
all.
I glanced around me. Nobody else had such squares. Other than a tiny
hole here and there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color
and the bright hues of worldly fortune. I gazed upon my own life and
was disheartened.
My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and empty, like binding air.
