Overpaying Workers Is A Biblical Tradition

Why 'Overpaying' Workers Makes Biblical and Business Sense
by Tim Weinhold
Christianity Today

Dan Price, the young CEO of Gravity Payments in Seattle, generated a boatload of publicity and controversy last month when he committed to pay every one of his 120 employees an annual salary of at least $70,000. Price said he was concerned that lower-paid employees were struggling to make ends meet.

In light of our country’s growing economic inequality, the 30-year-old Christian saw his own $1 million salary as part of the problem. To fund the raises for more than half the company’s workers, he cut his salary to $70,000, and decided the company could afford to reduce profits by as much as half.

In the week after the story first broke Price got emails from nearly 100 CEOs lauding his decision. But not everyone was so enthusiastic.

The New York Times ran a follow-up piece detailing some of the criticism directed toward the company. Naysayers from the business world say the move to “overpay” workers rather than trusting the market rate could do more harm than good. They suggest the new salaries could spur resentment from once higher-paid workers and hurt long-term productivity. Some critics lambasted the decision as socialism.

These criticisms from purported defenders of free-market capitalism—from business professors and economists to talk show host Rush Limbaugh— evidence egregiously flawed thinking about both capitalism and free markets. They’re also at odds with the wisdom of Scripture...

Great Mothers in Church History

Great Mothers in Church History

Susanna Wesley, Mother of John, Father of the Methodist Church
Augustine of Hippo is known by Christians the world over for standing against heresy in the fifth century and laying a foundation for the Protestant Reformation a thousand years later.

Lesser known is the fact that Augustine might never have become a Christian if not for his mother Monnica, who prayed for his salvation for years before eventually sailing from North Africa to Italy to beg her son to attend church. He honored her wishes and was saved when he heard the Gospel under the preaching of Ambrose of Milan.

Monnica -- as her name is spelled on her tomb despite commonly being rendered as "Monica" -- is one of many noteworthy mothers in church history...

Nepalese Church Starts Singing Again

Nepal Church, though Tearful, Starts Singing Again
by Susie Rain

Worship Leaders Lead A Song, IMB Photo
The small Nepali congregation started worship Saturday (May 2) right where they left off the previous week -- singing.

Two dozen voices gained momentum, clapping hands, dancing and raising their faces to heaven in song: "Still I will love You and spread Your love to the people."

The congregation breaks into prayer, for this is the moment when the song was interrupted by Nepal's 7.8-magnitude earthquake a week earlier, on April 25.  


They shed tears and cry in reliving the moment together: ... The congregation grabbed hands and crouched against an inner wall of their fourth-floor room. Someone prayed aloud and others joined. The pastor, Rajaan Tamang*, looked up and saw the outer wall shaking. He looked over his shoulder and saw a crack form across the wall where they had sought shelter. He knew that if they didn't get off the fourth floor, they all might die. They lurched down the stairs and gathered in the field outside. A few moments later, a building across the street crumbled and killed seven people. They were safe and together....


...Nepal's 7.8-magnitude earthquake claimed the lives of 20 members of rural Living Word Church. This photo was taken before the earthquake. Roads to the town are blocked, making access for relief teams difficult.

Like Walking on a Boat in Heavy Seas

Nepal Death Toll Climbs: Christians Reaching Out
by Greg Yoder
Mission Network News
Picture
Rescue workers from around the world are converging on Nepal. [The] 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the country just 50 miles northeast of Kathmandu, damaging an unknown number of buildings, killing many, and injuring thousands.

Survivors say it was like trying to walk on a boat during heavy seas.

Gospel for Asia has work in Nepal and workers on the ground. GFA President KP Yohannan says the death toll isn’t going to be good. “Our leader said to me, ‘It’s going to be in the thousands.’ And usually the information only comes later because there’s not communications. It’s a remote mountainous region.”

The earthquake hit just before noon local time on Saturday, April 25, the day Christians attend their weekly church services. Yohannan says, “We have 450 congregations scattered around the country. But between Kathmandu and Pokhara where the earthquake hit, that is one area where we have a significant number of churches and [20] Bridge of Hope Centers.” Bridge of Hope Centers are places where GFA workers assist poor children...
