Political Propaganda is Destroying Christianity

Stephen Mattson
July 29, 2020
Global, Politics, Theology
Instead of loving our neighbors, “Christian” propaganda will tell us to deport them, ban them, incarcerate them, discriminate against them, outlaw them, and even bomb them. It will attempt to silence the oppressed and amplify the oppressor.

Chris Ebling
March 21, 2019
Immigration & Refugees, LGBTQ+, Peace & Nonviolence, Politics, Theology, Women
Faithful Christianity confronts the power structure in pursuit of justice. American Christianity wields power to oppress others.

Tear Gassing Children is Not Christian

Jennifer Butler
November 29, 2018
Immigration & Refugees, Race, Theology
Repeatedly God sides with those who are oppressed.

The Power & Legacy of Revivalism

Tony Campolo
March 28, 2018
General, Politics, Practical Justice, Race, Revival, Theology
Finney's revivals, as part of calling his listeners to being converted via the power of the Holy Spirit, also called them to a commitment to work for social change.

Lamenting the Lost Hope of Advent

Mark Charles
December 11, 2017
Church Life, General, Race, Theology
17
