Live58 is a movement to end extreme poverty in our generation.

Notes on Carl Henry's The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism
I recently took notes over Carl F.H. Henry’s The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism. Written in 1947 (when “fundamentalism” and “evangelicalism” were equivalent terms), Henry’s call was for a theologically informed and socially engaged evangelicalism. Henry was concerned that, through its separatist mentality and tendency to separate social action from the concern of the Christian, modern […]
Keeping an Eye on the Backward Clock: How Getting Things Done Relates to the Biblical Call for Holiness
Scott Belsky, in Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming the Obstacles Between Vision and Reality: The notion of the backward clock is simple: if you were told the exact year, day, and time that your life would end, would you manage your time and energy any differently?

This is because when you vote, you are exercising your rights, and doing so for the good of the […]

Truth is Obtainable and Valuable
Proverbs 23:23: Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. “Buy truth” = you can know truth. It’s obtainable. “Buy truth” = it’s worth getting. That is, it is valuable. “Do not sell it” = states the same thing from another angle: it’s valuable. Hold on to it. It’s worth keeping. […]
