How Should We Raise Smart Kids? A Review of Gifted

Last updated on: April 6, 2017 at 8:40 am By Jonathan Dorst

The new film Gifted (2017) plays up our love for, and fascination with, brilliant, sassy kids, as well as our disdain for overbearing parents. It is, at core, a moral exploration of the challenges of parenting, namely, what should a parent want for a child? Complicating the situation is that the usual decision-makers for the child, her biological parents, are either dead or completely out of the picture, and there are two adults competing to answer that question with, or maybe for, her.

Last updated on: April 5, 2017 at 4:01 pm By Jack Lee

As humans, we spend the better part of our lives seeking happiness. We search for it in pretty much all that we do; we seek it in relationships, jobs, social media, Netflix, pets, games, sports, shopping and more. Notable theologian John Piper has even coined the phrase “Christian Hedonism,” explaining that even Christians are motivated by their pursuit of their happiness. It might not be an overstatement to say that humans are happiness junkies. Read more

Did New Testament Authors See Their Writings as Inspired?

Last updated on: March 29, 2017 at 12:49 pm By Taylor Drummond

There has been much work done on the New Testament’s view and use of the Old Testament, with good reason. Many of the historical claims of the Old Testament have been contested (e.g. a historical Adam, the Noahic flood, the Exodus) and so theologians have turned to the New Testament to show that Christ and His apostles viewed these Old Testament events as historical. In addition, many Christians are unsure about the relevance of the Old Testament for today, either... Read more

Last updated on: March 23, 2017 at 9:45 am By Jack Lee

Death and the Art of Dying Well

Last updated on: March 14, 2017 at 2:52 pm By Grayson Gilbert

I have heard numerous stories from my pastor recalling the days he worked with the LAPD, yet the stories which stick out most are always those he has told about receiving the call to go to the scene of an individual’s death. The way they died has not stuck out so much as my pastor’s simple reminder that death generally comes when we least expect it. It more often happens in the midst of the mundane rituals we perform daily.... Read more
