Kristin Gonzalez’s 7 Tips for Working from Home

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-23T15:55:57-06:00

by Kristin Gonzalez 7 Tips for Working from Home shared by Kristin Gonzalez, Artios Christian College Student Services Advisor: Tip #1 – Designate a workspace Have a designated workspace and make it functional for you. Make your workspace in a location that helps you work more efficiently. I have 4 children, so my office space is right off the playroom. That way I can work and still spend time watching them play. It doesn’t interrupt my work routine much because I know where they are and they know where I am, so they can play contently while I accomplish work tasks. [...]

Student Loan Debt is Not an Exception to the Biblical Rule

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-23T15:47:11-06:00

by Caitlin Meadows Student loan debt is often deemed the “good kind” of debt. It’s referred to as an investment in the future. For many students, its a means to an end. But what about the Christian student? Is student loan debt an exception to the biblical rule? Before we get to answering this question, let’s take a closer look at the current student loan situation in America. Current student loan debt statistics in the United States. According to Debt.org, the total U.S. student loan debt is currently at $1.4 trillion. In 2016, upon graduation the average student debt was $37,172. [...]

How a Debt-Free Grad Did College the Proverbs 22:7 Way

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-23T15:37:12-06:00

by Caitlin Meadows Proverbs 22:7 encourages debt-free living. The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” But what about student loan debt? For those wanting to earn a degree, student loans seem like the only real option. However, with the national student loan debt at $1.4 trillion, the number of student loan skeptics are growing, too. This skepticism is growing particularly among Christians who desire to be responsible stewards of their time, minds, futures, and finances. In my previous article on the subject, I made the following point: There are many factors that contribute [...]

Why Stewardship is Relevant for 21st Century Christians

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-22T11:28:35-06:00

by Caitlin Meadows Do you ever think about how rich you are? In our “Subscribe & Save”, free 2-day shipping world of Amazon Prime, we are prone to focus our attention on what we don’t have yet rather than all that we do. The concept of stewardship, even among Jesus-followers, is mostly neglected. As a member of civilized society, I’m guessing you own the following: a smart phone (and possibly a tablet), a computer, and at least one television. If you don’t have one of the above, it’s likely out of choice rather than financial inability. Further, I’m willing to assume that [...]

Serving Jesus Even When Your Eyes Reflect Poop

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-22T11:08:46-06:00

by Amber Mann Riggs Is this what I’m destined to become? Recoiling with disgust at the abject prospect, I now eyed these women with cynical wariness. Yes, they seemed normal. And up to that moment, they had triumphed as beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, interesting pillars of womanhood. But now, all of this faded in the shadow of their complete obsession with potty-training. Trapped in a conversation circle in which these women wielded complete control, I found myself an unwilling captive of the no-longer-secret Society of the Hiney-Wipers. The conversation was not just teetering on a precipice overlooking a sewage treatment plant. Even worse, it. was. boring. Foreshadowing can be a dreadful, dreadful thing. Case in point: [...]

How to Fold Laundry… As Unto Jesus

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-22T10:58:08-06:00

by Caitlin Meadows I just abandoned my laundry basket. It’s over half-full of warm, clean clothes. The rest are folded on the couch. Normally I don’t leave chores half-finished. My perfectionism usually won’t allow it. But, the writer in me has the ability to usurp the perfectionist in me. When inspiration strikes, I drop what I’m doing and let the words pour out of my head, through my hands, and onto paper (or, in this case, computer screen). Right now is one of those moments. Friday is laundry day in the Adam/Caitlin Meadows home. As I fold my husband’s clothes I [...]

What is the Mission of the Church?

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-21T15:10:39-06:00

by Lisa Harp Hinds Does the church have a mission to fulfill in this increasingly chaotic time? Can and should we make a difference in the world today? Yes, yes, and yes! Then what is the mission of the church? 4 purposes that make up the mission of the church: to worship God (John 4:23-24; Rom. 14:11; Rev. 7:10-12) to preach the gospel (Matt. 7:36-38; 24:14; 28:18-20; Mark 13:10; 16:15-16; 1 Cor. 9:14; 2 Tim. 4:2) to nurture believers (Acts 14:21-22; I Cor. 14:26; I Thess. 3:12; 4:9; 5:11-15; I Tim. 5:1-4; Titus 2:1-8) to serve humanity (Matt. 5:40-45; 7:11-13; 1 [...]

What Everyday Christians Need to Understand About the Kingdom of God

Lisa Harp Hinds2023-08-21T15:03:01-06:00

by Amber Mann Riggs The Kingdom of God. It’s a Jesus-phrase that gets a lot of air time in Christian circles, and yet the depth of it often means that we don’t realize the profundity of what we are talking about when these words pass through our lips. However, as Christians who want to actively influence our homes, church, workplaces, and communities for the honor and glory of Christ, understanding what Jesus meant by the Kingdom of God has the power to bring remarkable clarity to how we interact with both other people and our environment. Here’s what we need to understand about [...]
