This week’s bunch of snippets have short extracts without any commentary from me. If you read only one article, check out the one on Generation Y and unhappiness. Why? Short answer: Baby Boomers. Feel free to interact with the mash in the comments.
How to Find the Time for That Important Project
Accept reality. You only have 168 hours a week—the same as everyone else, including presidents, captains of industry, and the homeless man you passed on the way to work. Time is finite. You can’t borrow, beg, or steal more of it.
Starting and finishing that important project is not about time management as much as it is about priority management. It’s not so much about efficiency as it is about courage.
The question is this: How important is this project compared to everything else in your life?
Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy
For those hiring members of Gen Y, Harvey suggests asking the interview question, “Do you feel you are generally superior to your coworkers/classmates/etc., and if so, why?” He says that “if the candidate answers yes to the first part but struggles with the ‘why,’ there may be an entitlement issue. This is because entitlement perceptions are often based on an unfounded sense of superiority and deservingness. They’ve been led to believe, perhaps through overzealous self-esteem building exercises in their youth, that they are somehow special but often lack any real justification for this belief.”
How a Bible translation is preserving the Pitjantjatjara language
IN 1943, two Christian missionaries living in mud huts among the Western Desert people at the remote outpost of Ernabella, central Australia, set about translating the King James Bible into Pitjantjatjara, an ancient language that had never been written down.
David Platt Interviews Mark Dever on Evangelism and Discipleship
David Platt (author of Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live.) talks with Mark Dever (author of The Gospel and Personal Evangelism) at the Church of Brook Hills for a substantive conversation on Mark’s own conversion, how he seeks to live missionally, and how to help others learn to evangelize and disciple.
The confluence of three great men
First John Stott. Then John ‘Chappo’ Chapman. Now Dudley Foord. Gone to glory in the last two years or so.
I have been prompted by the recent passing of Dudley Foord to share my church history research assignment written earlier this year. The essay explores the influence of John Stott on exegetical preaching in the Sydney Anglican Diocese, and both Chappo and Dudley play a prominent role.
