There is fierce division in the Church today regarding politics. But the fault of this division is in no way related to politics. Politics don’t divide. People divide when they fail to communicate fairly, honestly, and effectively. Church, if you don’t emerge yourself in political matters, that’s fine. But you must be fair to your Christian politicos. If you aren't aware of the entire issue, then you have NO place putting down these siblings in Christ for their position. This

"The Bachelor embodies everything we fear in relationships: disloyalty, impurity, dehumanization, inadequacy– yet we praise it?" I get it. You're already mad. Truth is, I write this piece with the conviction of numerous episodes on my record. I've watched it many times, each time piously shaming its immorality as a means of justifying my entertainment. After all, it's cool to participate in what we feel to be sin as long as we denounce it along the way, right? Sigh. Church, w

Saying "I love Jesus, but I don't need theology" is like saying "I love my spouse, but I don't need to know them." Without the guidance of Scripture, our view of God can run rampant. How we view the world is dependent on how we view God, and how we view God depends on our pursuit of Him. Christians these days can be so lethargic.

The combination of those two statements has garnered a retaliat

If your principles guide you to lay the red carpet out for the greater evil, then your moral compass is in need of severe recalibration. If you see a good chance for the abolition of abortion but choose to neglect your opportunity to support it, blood is on your hands. Amidst the spectrum of critical concerns in the upcoming election is one that stands out as the loudest, bloodiest, and most detrimental of them all. The infanticide that is abortion has served as the most casu

The Fall of man seized an unrestricted jurisdiction where everyone has been touched by its invasion. We must not attempt to draw out the blueprints of sin by prematurely assigning who gets to struggle with what. I’m a dude and I’ve had several of women talk to me about their struggle with pornography. I’ll admit, these conversations were awkward at first since the “I’m addicted to porn” talk is routinely gender-to-gender, not inter-gender. But this discomfort soon left once I
