Resurrection Power in the time of coronavirus
I am a Christian today not because it answers all my questions about the world or about our current suffering. It does not. And not because I think it is a nice, coherent moral order by which to live my life. And not because I grew up this way or have fond feelings about felt boards and hymn sings. And…

The follow up on Christianity Today’s editorial
Last week Christianity Today posted an editorial calling for the removal of the president. Well, a lot has happened since then. It got Trump’s ire in some tweets and then some responses from the “right” and the “left.”

The prophetic voice raised
Christianity Today had their website crash yesterday. They disrupted news cycles. All major outlets (including FoxNews) have reported it. Mark Galli, retiring editor-in-chief for CT, wrote the bold editorial that it is time for Trump to be removed from office.

Quit talking about “servant leaders”!
This piece from Mark Galli at Christianity Today is a soul cry for me. It resonates so deeply. I am exhausted to the point of grief over the phrase “servant leader” because the context of that phrase isn’t reflective of the term at all.

Why conversations fail and the public square doesn’t want “religion”
This review of a biography on Richard John Neuhaus has a particular insight that I find true generally of our inability to have decent public discussion anymore. An ethicist friend once told me he had a hard time reading Neuhaus. “I know there is stuff to learn from him,” he said, “but given the things that I find so irritating,…

Why the Church
This reflection from Alister McGrath gives good insight into the importance of the Church. We have our imperfections. We have our deep flaws. We also have the ability to reflect the astonishing beauty of our Savior. We must know the HEAD of the Church loves the BODY. I began to see the church as a place that helps Christians straddle the…

Isn’t it time to grow up?
I have had a couple of significant conversations in the past few weeks with people reaching out to me, thankfully, about being hurt by a church, or disillusioned. Read enough on the internet and all we hear is angst. The ultimate goal of angst-filled writers is to be quoted on Huffington Post, I think. It’s the Super Bowl of angst-filled…
