Robin DiAngelo writes like a white supremacist, and according to her concept of white fragility, it would be racist for her to reject my accusation—according to her own silly standards, she would have to agree with me that she’s indeed a white supremacist.   When I was a boy in Ghana, I once had a...

Knowing God involves, first, listening to God’s word and receiving it as the Holy Spirit interprets it, in application to oneself; second, noting God’s nature and character, as his word and works reveal it; third, accepting his invitations and doing what he commands; and fourth, recognizing and rejoicing in the love that he has shown...

It falls to us to receive what God assigns—to receive it with trust in his goodness and with confidence in his purposes, willing and eager to steward it all faithfully for the good of his beloved people and the glory of his great name.   I want you to imagine that, at least for a...

We can handle only momentary glances of truth into the preexistent Godhead. Awe is the aim, not divine understanding. “Such knowledge,” the creature confesses, “is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it” (Psalm 139:6).   I have long been a mental maniac. I ruminate over unanswerable questions, turning the concepts of... Continue Reading

Online cancellation mobs are instruments of injustice. They don’t protect victims, they create them. They don’t create change. They stay in their digital plot. And they don’t just harm the targets. They harm the participants. They poison the imagination, they dehumanize, and they reinforce a self-righteous sense that such a fate must be deserved.   I want... Continue Reading

The God who spoke the world into being wrote your name in his own blood on his hand.

It is understandable for the authors to only briefly mention these miraculous events as they point towards, support, and otherwise affirm and magnify the singular person of which each of the gospels is about—Jesus.    One of the strangest few verses in all of the Bible, describes the circumstances around the death of Christ. Matthew,... Continue Reading

Invest in the Kingdom of God. Give your time, talents, and treasures to God’s mission on earth. Pour out your life—whether you eat, drink, work, rest, or whatever you do—with that aim in mind. Be a hearer and a doer of His Word. And you will bear thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold return (Matthew... Continue Reading

Thinking about God’s attributes may be hard work, but no other object of study is more suitable to humble and expand our mind. It allows us to forget ourselves and focus all our attention on the only true God who is the source of all life and blessings.   When we talk about God’s attributes... Continue Reading

Watkin reminds us that the biblical story, or metanarrative, is also a far ranging ideological assessment of culture. It too offers a type of critical theory: it also tests and evaluates all things, but in the light of God and his Word. And the aim is not revolution but redemption.   The new book by a Monash University philosophy professor and Christian thinker... Continue Reading
