Has the Church Allowed the Gospel to be Tainted by Nationalism?

Last updated on: August 6, 2019 at 3:56 pm By Guest Contributor

I would contend that we as a Church have an ill view of the Father’s heart regarding righteousness and justice. I would contend that we have allowed our Gospel narrative to be seasoned with a peppering of nationalism, coated with a glaze of party politics, simmered in the humanized liberal agenda. I would contend that we are not being true to the Gospel when we forsake justice and forget righteousness. The Church must correct its course. The Church must cleave... Read more

When a Story is Better than a Sermon

Last updated on: July 11, 2019 at 6:54 pm By Guest Contributor

About ten years ago, an imam walked into my office at Fairfax Presbyterian Church with a Christmas present. He was the leader of the nearby Turkish mosque, a man with a big smile and a warm spirit. He and I became friends and went on to lead two clergy trips to Turkey, a country with a rich history of interfaith relations. When the rulers of Spain expelled its Jews in 1492, Turkey welcomed them. And while there have been interfaith... Read more

Easter at Columbine

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 10:05 pm By Philip Yancey

I spent Easter weekend participating in events commemorating the 20th anniversary of the shootings at Columbine High School, which sits twenty miles from my home. Tension filled the air around Denver as the anniversary approached. Half a million students were kept home from school as the FBI and local law enforcement searched for a young woman who, infatuated with Columbine, flew in from Florida and bought a pump-action shotgun and ammunition, sparking fears of another incident. The mass murder at... Read more

Farewell, Eugene

Donald Trump Is No Saint

Last updated on: October 22, 2018 at 12:09 pm By Guest Contributor

Looking to political leaders like Donald Trump as the salvation of the Church seriously confuses a secular office with a religious person and the kingdoms of the world with the kingdom of God. I am not looking for a saint to be our president; nor, am I expecting the president to be our savior. Thus, I have a pastoral concern for those who dismiss Trump’s sin and behavior—that in minimizing sin, they diminish what Christ has done for us, as well as our witness to a hostile world. We are to put our trust in Christ as our king and not in any politician, nation or government. Read more

The Theodicy of the Lord Jesus Christ

Last updated on: August 27, 2018 at 8:33 am By Guest Contributor

What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the word “theodicy”? Nothing, right? Well, the term means a defense of God’s justice in the face of evil’s reality. It comes from two words: “God” and “justice.” Inadequate Theodicies There are some poor theodicies out there. Christian Science, for example, denies the reality of evil. Mary Baker Eddy said, “Since God is All, there is no room for His opposite . . . therefore evil, being the... Read more
