The fact is, Christ's authority applies to everyone, whether His authority is recognized or not.

It's small and brown and covered in fuzz, and approximately the colour of a slightly mouldy potato. I don't remember what I thought it was the first time I saw one, but if you didn't know you might well suppose it to be some rare root vegetable that requires 900 hours of boiling and a Heston Blumenthal flair for spicing to make it anything approaching palatable. You'd certainly get no hint that the inside would have the smooth texture of a peach and a flavour that blends sweetness with a hint of citric tang. If someone hadn't told me it was a fruit, I'd never have had the pleasure of eating one. All of which might have something to do with the mission of God in the contemporary workplace.

It was referred to in the Queen’s Speech, broadcast on Christmas Day 2010, and Radio 4 has already devoted an evening to readings from the KJB. As the year goes on, we can expect a flurry of books, lectures, and exhibitions to mark the occasion. No surprise, perhaps, for a book that has been continuously in print for 400 years.

Writers choose ways of using language that set their voices apart and reach their intended audiences, and today, irony and sincerity are two important modes characterizing the way literature is written. This can leave Christian creative writers wondering which is better—irony or sincerity?

Some things, like men's white powdered wigs and women's corsets, we can live without. But some things have gone out of fashion that we really need to recover. 1721 was the year Jonathan Edwards was graduated from the Collegiate School at New Haven, known today as Yale University.[2] (#_ftn2) But before Edwards and his classmates could exit Yale, whether to work as pastors or merchants, they were all tested in a particular field of study that has since disappeared from virtually every school in America: the practical art of God-centered work.
