Tools for Responsible Living

The phrase "responsible living" has at least two senses. First, it's the kind of living that exercises accountability, toward God, toward others, toward the creation, and toward the world. Second, it's "response-able" living, the kind that answers to a mandate, a calling, an identity.

This website is designed and intended to furnish tools for responsible living in both senses of that phrase. We invite you to explore this website with all your mind and heart. We urge you to click on the links until your fingertips are raw, or your mouse takes the cheese. We ask you to pass the word, let people know. And keep coming back.

Blog

Our blog, called "Cosmic Eye," aims to offer insights and commentary with an international scope.

Devotional Material

A dangerous word, "devotional." Like "spiritual." It really covers everything, doesn't it? And yet, there's a time to be still, and know that God is God. Please let us help.

Resources for Church Leadership

According to Ephesians 4.11, among the gifts that the ascended Lord gave his church was the gift of office, the gift of church leadership.

The Bible teaches a distinction (not a separation) between the ordinary office of believer and the special offices of minister, elder, and deacon. The resources here are to equip and encourage those holding special office in the church.

Sadly, for too long we have invested our ministers/pastors with years of training and preparation for office while leaving elders and deacons to learn "by the seat of their pants." These resources aim to remedy that disparity, so that those who in their polity defend the parity of office in their practice may honor it.
