2 Truths to Help Navigate Doctrinal Disagreement with Other Christians

Scandals in the Church and the Spirit of Accusation
Never look to man, they will let you down — look to God, He never will.
One thing is certain: Leaders need to be more forthright and admit their sin. People would respect them a lot more and it would set a good example. Leaders not only lead by example with integrity but also with repentance. We must provide a safe haven for those with issues, and instill an open-door policy where members... Continue Reading

That Baby!
Nothing about the birth, life, and death of Jesus fits the human idea of a hero.
He came to upend life as we knew it and to open the way to the kingdom that is not of this world. He blesses what we despise and declares woes on what we treasure. Movies give us one picture of a hero. ChatGPT puts it like this: Heroes are strong, brave, confident, determined... Continue Reading
