Love Breaks Forth
Let us celebrate Epiphany not made bitter, but better, by the challenge of so many who lost their way to love.
A Here-and-Not-Yet Gospel of Peace
Too often, we have numbed the aches and groans of the world in a false peace that seeks to resolve and explain away our neighbor’s pain (or worse yet, to blame them for it).
A Time to Grieve
Then I return to bearing witness, recognizing that there is indeed a time for grief, and we are in that time.
Stewarding Our Privilege for the Kingdom of God
Unbridled privilege destroys our witness and credibility in the world, prohibiting disciples from taking on the mindset of Christ, loving our neighbors as ourselves, and seeking the peace and prosperity of our communities.
The Church Is Not a Business
Ministry cannot happen without financial support from the very people who are participating in that ministry. But how should we handle Christian organizations when the survival of the institution comes at the expense of the very people the organization is supposed to serve?
Easter Won’t be Cancelled
Perhaps the lesson of Easter still stands: no stone, no guards, no jeering crowds, no pious bureaucracy, no political compromise will ever hold back, or even begin to contain the living Truth.
The Cost of Believing Liars
Trump supporting evangelicals have shown that while they may be honest in their personal lives among friends and family, their commitment to truthfulness in public affairs is absent. Their ethical relativism allowed them to compartmentalize their attachment to honesty
True Prophecy in an Age of Deception
Endorsing, pledging one’s allegiance, and putting undue hope and trust in a human leader counts as “worshipping and serving,” and idolatry that must be named and renounced. Jeremiah’s words ring as a highly relevant warning at this moment in America.
A World of Lies When the Truth Sets Us Free
A society will crumble if lying is not looked down upon and if people can’t be counted on to tell the truth the vast majority of the time.
Healing America of its sickness through Truth and Conciliation
Beyond participating in daily protests, and advocating for local and state legislation, we are working to birth a grassroots movement for a Federal Truth and Conciliation Commission.
