Heidi Shierholz,
an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute. The Labor Department
says there are still more than three unemployed people for every job
opening.Cynthia Marriott gave up her job search after an interview in October
for a position as a hotel concierge."They never said no," she says.
"They just never called me back."Her husband hasn't worked full time since
2006. She cashed out her 401(k) after being laid off from a
job at a Los Angeles entertainment publicity firm in 2009. The couple
owes thousands in taxes for that withdrawal. They have no health insurance.She
got the maximum 99 weeks' of unemployment benefits then allowed in California
and then moved to Atlanta.Now she is looking to receive federal disability
benefits for a lung condition that she said leaves her weak and
unable to work a full day. The application is pending a medical
review."I feel like I have no choice," says Marriott, 47. "It's just
really sad and frightening"During the peak of her job search, Marriott was
filling out 10 applications a day. She applied for jobs she felt
overqualified for, such as those at Home Depot and Petco but never
heard back. Eventually, the disappointment and fatigue got to her."I just
wanted a job," she says. "I couldn't really go on anymore looking
for a job."Young people are leaving the job market, too. The participation
rate for Americans ages 20 to 24 hit a 41-year low 69.6
percent last year before bouncing bac

month announced longer-term plans to strengthen its U.S.-based missile defenses.The
U.S. military also is considering deploying an intelligence drone at the
Misawa Air Base in northern Japan to step up surveillance of North
Korea, a Japanese Defense Ministry official said Sunday.Three Global Hawk
surveillance planes are deployed on Guam and one of them is being
considered for deployment in Japan, the official said on condition of anonymity
because the official was not authorized to speak about the issue.North Korea
successfully shot a satellite into space in December and conducted its third
nuclear test in February. It has threatened to launch a nuclear attack
on the United States, though many analysts say the North hasn't achieved
the technology to manufacture a miniaturized nuclear warhead that could
fit on a long-range missile capable of hitting the U.S.North Korea also
raised tensions Wednesday when it barred South Koreans and supply trucks
from entering the Kaesong industrial complex, where South Korean companies
have employed thousands of North Korean workers for the past decade.North
Korea is not forcing South Korean managers to leave the factory complex,
and nearly 520 of them remained at Kaesong on Sunday. But the
entry ban at the park, the last remaining inter-Korean rapprochement project,
is posing a serious challenge to many of the more than 120

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> s
the global body of believers known as the Church. Only when we
push past those artificial constraints can we truly become who God created
us to be.For example, many people think churches are all about money.
The think that churches just want people to give to them but
that they rarely give back.Besides investing in our communities and helping
the poor, our church moved beyond the labels and status quo to
embrace generosity in a way that some have called crazy. Weve created
and given away millions of YouVersion Bible Apps every monthmore than 85
million to date. We give away our weekend teachings to hundreds of
churches every week, for free. Rather than selling products our church creates,
we give away as much as we can. More than 100,000 pastors
and leaders downloaded more than three million resources last year.Despite
the lack of religious affiliation the research shows, the interest in these
spiritual resources has never been greater. As a church, we dont see
these research trends as a threat, but as an opportunity for us
to do more.Craig Groeschel is the pastor of the nations second largest
church, LifeChurch.tv in Edmond, Okla., and the author of several books.
His latest is "Altar Ego: Becoming Who God Says You Are" (Zondervan,
February 2013).March 30, 2013: Pope Francis leads the Easter vigil service
in St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican.
Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider
themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise.Interestingly
enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing,
there is little to no trend in the number of those who
express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People arent saying they dont believe
in God. Theyre saying they dont believe in religion. They are not
rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.This begs the question,
Why are we losing our religion?Some may be losing their religion, but
I challenge the notion that faith in general is waning.I believe, instead,
the trend of people who dont identify as part of an organized
religion speaks to an increasing wariness of labels in our culture. Those
labels carry baggage for many who might have been hurt by the
Church or let down by religion.You see, religion alone can only take
a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ
can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an
inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship
centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about
Jesus.In order to become a new person, we need Christ. Only through
an active ongoing relationship with Jesus can we become transformed and
overcome the labels that bind us.In fact, Ive struggled with what people
think of my label: pastor. For many, this label carries emoti
