Jesus, politics, justice, mission and life. June 11, 2014 • 7:39 pm. Over the past week, my Facebook feed has been lighting up with primarily conservative bloggers whose bylines read something like “Christian conservative, mother, and wife. [Name deleted]’s purpose for writing is to inform, anger, and unite We the People or “is an independent journalist that spends much of her time researching and writing articles of patriotic and Christian interest.”.

Jesus, politics, justice, mission and life. January 22, 2015 • 3:05 am. Though Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of racial quality has by no means come to full fruition, it is a widely accepted idea across the world. However, his value of human life and his call for nonviolence in the name of Jesus is often forgotten. With that said, I’ve listed some quotes from MLK that I believe align with Jesus’ gospel of peace. 8220;Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”. 8220;Nonviolence ...

Jesus, politics, justice, mission and life. November 25, 2014 • 5:11 pm. I sat down to write my thoughts on last night’s decision not to indict Darren Wilson. And honestly, I don’t know where to start. There are just too many things to say and ultimately, I do not feel qualified to speak for two primary reasons. Michael Brown did not deserve to die. As I continue to read and think about last night’s decision, I will add my thoughts. December 9, 2014 at 8:54 am. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are comment...

Jesus, politics, justice, mission and life. February 9, 2015 • 4:52 am. I enjoyed President Obama’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. The backlash from many Christians (some that I greatly admire) is hard to understand. I don’t understand how believers could defend – or would want to defend – the Crusades or the Inquisition. You just can’t. They are two terrible atrocities carried out by Christians. Greg Boyd points out that our violence may be worse:. NPR: Arts & Culture. Runner’s World News.

Then Carl Lentz took it a step further. And welcomed gays into his church. Below is the comment from Lentz that is getting a lot of buzz:. That’s true and points to the Christian culture’s obsession with making their voice heard on the issue. And though I like that quote, I love this one:. To be clear, there are sins. I don...
