Looking into the long-lasting commitment of Christianity to social justice, which has been around for hundreds of years and still affects the faith and actions...

Broadly speaking, social justice involves the promotion of fairness, equality, and dignity for all individuals, grounded in the...
Have you ever been told the reason an ostrich hides its head in the sand is that it is frightened? If you have and you believe it, you have …
Today on Turning Mountains into Molehills’ devotional, we explore the subject of poverty and how God calls us to join Him to fight poverty.
We Are a Mess We are a mess. We are a mess because we are a people on a mad rant. Sadly, we have become blinded to the fact that we are blinded by a host of pathetically self-serving agendas. And the pathetic nature of these agendas are evidenced by the fact that they are […]
This post was first published November 30, 2018. –ed. No onewantsto be a victim. There’s no queue of people eagerly waiting to be ripped off, smacked around, mistreated, and abused. No one in his right mind wants to inflict those experiences on himself. However, many today are desperate for any excuse to lay claim to
I’m a history nerd, and if history has taught me anything, it’s this: socialism does not work. So why is socialism raising its ineffective head these days? Popular culture is woefully i…
The concept of justice has filled thousands of volumes over the centuries. It would be foolish of me to attempt to cover this rather d…
I encourage readers at Serenity in Suffering to choose Courage over Cowardice (#Use Your Voice) stand against inequality and hatred of fellow human beings.
Olof Palme och obesvarade frågor Det enda vi vet säkert om händelsen kring Sveriges statsminister Olof Palme den 28 februari 1986 är att den officiella historien inte är korrekt samt att den innehå…
The besetting sin of pragmatic, style-conscious evangelicals has always been that they shamelessly borrow fads and talking points from the unbelieving world. Today’s evangelicals evidently don’t believe the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God (1 Corinthians 3:19). Virtually any theory, ideology, or amusement that captures the fancy of secular pop culture will be
I do not relish controversy, and I particularly dislike engaging in polemical battles with other evangelical Christians. But as my previous posts in this series demonstrate, when the gospel is under attack from within the visible church, such controversy is necessary. And if it seems fierce disagreements within the church have been the rule rather
Scripture says earthly governments are ordained by God to administer justice, and believers are to be subject to their authority. The civil magistrate is “a minister of God to you for good . . . an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil” (Romans 13:1–4). But it is also true that no
Eager to get going on my goal to be more disciplined in 2018, today I started a new audiobook; The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control by Walter Mischel. I was completely taken by surprise by …
It sounds like a cliché, but your voice does make a difference. I don’t like to brag, but I was elected to office when I was young. I was going to be a real mover-and-shaker because, as a fre…
Some days I feel like I need to duct tape my head so that when it explodes, the doctors can find all the pieces and put me back together again. Today is one of those days but the root cause might surprise you.
Den trånga åsiktskorridoren som finns i Sverige men inte i våra grannländer I dagarna har vi återigen fått se exempel på hur ett av Sveriges demokratiskt valda politiska partier (och dess anhängare…
Bäst att vare sig svartmåla eller försköna Vad har varit mest skadligt för Sverige? En “öppna-ditt-hjärta-politik” som under flera år drabbat landets försvar, polis, sjukvård, äldrevård…
Eight of us sat around a table last night. Seven Chinese students from Haifa University and the Technion—and me. We had finally gotten to chapter 10 of Judges. I had read and reread the material, but earlier that day as I had finished preparing the lesson, I felt I was being guided to just type out
Det finns ett stycke i Bibeln som jag kommer att tänka på när jag lyssnar på en del sjuklövernröstare som kritiserar den politik de nu har fått. Visserligen så kan alliansen idag, oktober 2014, med…
