What is all this talk about being "Marginalized on Valentines Day"? Let's look at some Biblical principles for how people who don't feel like they fit inside the chocolate Valentines Day box can still experience and celebrate love on Valentines Day!
Gym Creeps?
So everyone is talking about this new social media trend of women complaining about men creeping on them while they're working out in the gym. But as much as the sages of this age are reasoning amongst themselves about what is "right" and "wrong", there's no moral authority apart from God and no light for life apart from his word. So what has God said about this?
What Is Liberty’s Value?
What does it mean to be free? And are you truly free? Let's ask the question "does liberty have inherent value" so we can better understand how Christians should view the question of "liberty".
A (Negative) Christian Review of “Terror On The Prairie”
I just finished watching / listening to (most of) Daily Wire's "Terror on the Prairie". So I want to do a movie-review, even though that's not what this page is primarily about, because I think this movie raises several issues that Christians need to think through. So, in this review, I'm going to engage with what I think are the main spiritual issues that need our consideration.
Rethinking the “Church / State” Divide
I think we need to challenge the way of thinking that divides life into different spheres and then attempts to assign Jesus' various teachings to their relevant spheres. Jesus is not just Lord over one or two spheres of life, he is Lord over All!
The Gospel of Peace
Christians adopt the same attitude as that of Christ, who did not come with a sword to crush the unjust, but became a man of sorrows to overcome sin's tyranny. This, not by war, but by peace, is how Christians overcome injustice.
On War: Early Christian Opposition
While living abroad in China I began hearing the drum-beat of war. I was there during the Hong Kong crisis and the trade-war. I heard the propaganda of both the CCP and the U.S. And I heard the perspectives of ordinary Chinese people. I listened to proponents of the Just War theory present their case …
On Being Politically Homeless
I wanted to comment on what it's like to feel politically homeless in the hope that this will inspire others to start thinking for themselves so that some might stand up for the truths that really matter and others might ultimately discover the truths that really define them!Â
Greed and Debt: the American Way
omething has been bothering me for decades. Something that I think is at the very heart of our problems. But as serious as this problem is, no one is really talking about it. And this is very surprising to me because the Bible says a lot about this subject: "greed". You read that right. We have a serious "greed" problem in America.
Peacemakers in the World of Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed
We're living in a world of increasing hostility and division. People feel threatened by those who choose not to get vaccinated because they see their choice as being reckless and cavalier with other people's lives. And they're frustrated because they feel that the unvaccinated are prolonging the pain of the pandemic. Others see the coercive force being implemented to pressure people into getting vaccinated as threatening the foundations of our civil freedoms. And they feel threatened by the potential dangers of the vaccine given questions about its long-term health impacts. As Christians we find that it is through the chaos of all these questions and doubts that we are called to become peacemakers!
