We should be slow to accuse God of being unjust or not caring for justice because our life does not look the way we want it to at the moment. God does care, more than we ever could, about justice. We see that not only in the natural world, of course, but in what God has... Continue Reading

If we’re honest, our hearts are prone to wander. We return to false hopes because they seem tangible and immediate. We trust in money, achievements, or relationships to fill the void. That’s why God, in His mercy, sent His Son—not just to show us the way, but to be our hope.   It is no... Continue Reading

The PWC centers around the traditional interpretation of numerous elements of War World II as it relates to some main players such as Churchill, and the degree of the severity of the Holocaust.  The challenge to the PWC is being called antisemitic.  In other words, the standard narrative popular after the war (Post-War Consensus) of...

Jesus Christ came lowly to save you from your sin and filthiness. He became dirty and low on this earth so that you might be clean and elevated. He took on your flesh and he took on the punishment for your sin, so that you might be a child of God. God became man, so... Continue Reading

During Advent, then, we remember with great joy that Jesus came to a world of folly to show us how to live with wisdom from God. When we follow his paths—when we listen to his teaching—we gradually become more and more like him, the true Wise One from on high.   O come, O Wisdom... Continue Reading

If you want to understand why the Western world is the way it is today, this is one of the books you have to read (An abridged version was released under the... Continue Reading

Wang’s life invites us to ask, What’s the nature of a Christian hero? Does such a person exist? In the creation of heroes, humanity is prone to navel-gazing. Throughout history, men and women have been tempted to make more of each other than they deserve, and it doesn’t serve the persecuted church to put it... Continue Reading
