I wrote this post as the first post in a series that will present what has been the consistent burden on my soul for the last four years. I am setting out to offer what I believe is the fiery logic of the cross that stands in stark contrast to the reasoning of the world. And I believe this is the way to which every Christian is called without exception. We must recover in our generation these doctrines of peace!
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

Exposition of 1st Corinthians 1:1-9
Paul's epistles to the Corinthians are an incredibly timely message for the Church in the U.S. Corinth was an epicenter of trade, wealth, political power, culture, and idolatrous religion; the ancient world made the term "corinthianize" synonymous with "practice evil". Amidst all this wickedness and spiritual oppression, the Holy Spirit inspires Paul to pen a …
