During the COVID infused days of 2020, most people were trying to adjust to a new way of living.

Being kind, fair, and loving your friend are all essential parts of Christianity, and social justice is a way to show those values to others. 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...

In social justice, Christians find not just an obligation but a calling, a divine impetus that shapes their ethical and social views. But what exactly is social justice in a Christian context? Broadly speaking, social justice involves the promotion of fairness, equality, and dignity for all individuals, grounded in the...

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…
I wonder if the Apostle Paul were alive today if he would rewrite Galatians 3:3 to say:
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…

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…
There’s a bright spot in The Coddling of the American Mind. Despite the mountain of negative trends that have brought us to this point, there is one very positive factor: a deep desire for justice. Fo everything in the book so far, the zeal for justice is worth preserving, and it’s worth getting right. The final chapter of the third section, “The Quest For Justice” could be printed on it’s own, and if there’s one of the six explanations that deserves a wide reading, it’s this one. The authors…
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 …
Social justice isn’t an angry fist; it’s a cross, bearing the injustice away.
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…
