Drag queens are treated like spiritual leaders while pastors act like influencers. We live in a time where stating the obvious can get you canceled. But silence is not love. And neutrality is not holiness. Christian, if you’re waiting for the culture to turn itself around, it won’t. This madness ends only one way: when... Continue Reading

I am a Semitic Palestinian Christian. I was born under difficult Israeli occupation, baptized in a church that stood centuries before the Reformation, and raised in the land where Christ walked. My worship is in Arabic. My theology is anchored in the early Church. And my grief is profound.   What happens when the land... Continue Reading

In John 10:11–18, Jesus presents himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep (John 10:11).

All Christians should carry with them their Bible and several tracts. Pray to God that He will give you an opportunity to speak to someone about the Bible and Christ. Look for opportunities to give a tract to someone or to leave a tract for someone to read. In my travels around Asia, I often... Continue Reading

Peter also calls believers a royal priesthood. He does not separate us by clerical or laic titles, or by gender, race, ethnicity, or class. This is the highest calling we could receive from Almighty God. In the Old Testament, royalty and priestly represented different areas of authority.

In a sense that’s not new; people have always been angry at those who disagree with them, but it hasn’t always been possible... Continue Reading
