By Tim Keller
From TimKeller.com
Anicia Faltonia Proba (died AD 432) was a Christian Roman noblewoman. She had the distinction of knowing both St. Augustine, who was the greatest theologian of the first millennium of Christian history, as well as John Chrysostom, who was its greatest preacher. We have two letters of Augustine to Proba, and the first (Letter 130) is the only single, substantial treatment on the gay-sauna-nice.com that St. Augustine ever wrote.

A Sacred Calling
By J. Richard Middleton
From Center for Faith and Work
To envision the New we must invariably look to the Old. Throughout the gospel, it’s made clear to us that God is renewing our world, which is leading towards a New Heaven and New Earth. If this world is to become His dwelling place, then our job is to cultivate it wisely, to manifest and capture God’s image in our work. In other words, what we create is meant to be sacred. Theologian Richard Middleton gives us the Why behind what we do and how the Holy Spirit employs our imagination to lead us to what we are created for.

Prayer Requests
Praise God for the 40 students who are involved in Christian Union's ministries at Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Columbia who served in different capacities in New York City during their Spring Break this past week. They had the opportunities to grow in community and experience growth through ministering to others throughout many different venues in NYC.
Please pray for the seniors involved in Christian Union ministries who are working on their senior theses projects. For many students, their thesis is the climactic academic achievement of their collegiate career and is both an exhilirating and overwhelming experience. Because April is a primary month for many of the due dates, please pray for strength, diligence, grace and favor in this significant academic endeavor throughout March and April.
Please pray for God's blessing on the over 1,250 students who are participating in one of Christian Union's Bible courses this semester. Freshmen are studying "Sex and Spirituality" and "The Seeking God Lifestyle," sophomores and juniors are studying the book of Acts and seniors are studying "Vocation, Stewardship and Finances".
