Labor Day Rest

Labor Day is seen by most Angelinos as the last gasp of summer; a three-day weekend serving as summer’s conclusion—the bookend to Memorial Day’s launch of summer.  It is well known that Memorial Day honors those who died in the armed forces defending our country, but less is known about the significance of Labor Day. Is it a secular holiday—a materialist nod to the role workers play in building the economic prosperity of the United States? Or should we include Labor Day among holidays Christians take note of? 

Read on to hear more as Robert Covolo explores why Christians have good reason to enter Labor Day with celebration.

Biblical Guideposts for Navigating the Firing of an Employee

Biblical Guideposts for Navigating the Firing of an Employee

Wise leaders, using biblical wisdom, know that it is critical to first remove the notion that the workplace is a sphere isolated from one’s spiritual life. The tough daily decisions we make at work are never just business. Many biblical principles directly apply to our workplace interactions, such as the Golden Rule (Matt. 7:12), in treating others as we wish to be treated, loving those who behave badly toward us (Matt. 5:44), or dealing justly and fairly to those under us (Col. 4:1).

Tolkien's Joy at Christmas

Tolkien's Joy at Christmas

I find some sense of comfort in the reality that a highly successful individual such as Tolkien was battered by Christmastime work stress. Perhaps yuletide fatigue is not such a new-to-our-generation phenomenon after all. Tolkien was well versed in discovering joy—yes, with great intentionality—especially in times of stress and turmoil. He knew that the very best stories, including the grand Christian stories like Christmas and Easter were punctuated with genuine joy, even amidst serious stress.
