Recalibrate: Is Peace Even Possible?

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 9:58 pm By Brandan Robertson

This has been a week of turmoil in our world. With our collective eyes fixed on the violent conflict taking place in Israel, or on the upset in the Ukraine, or the violence and injustice in our very own community, it is easy to get flustered. It is easy to fall in to thinking that this world is spiraling out of control and to be overwhelmed with a sense of hopelessness. Will peace ever come in the Middle East? Will... Read more

A Final Word on the Middle Eastern Crisis

Last updated on: July 24, 2014 at 10:15 am By Brandan Robertson

The past week has been a turbulent one on the Revangelical blog. After posting three articles that called for peace, an end to evangelical Zionism, and the need to look beyond what the news is telling you in order to get a more complete picture of what is occurring in Israel, I have received countless comments, tweets, and messages from people either expressing gratitude for a fresh perspective on this situation or utter disgust that I would use my blog...

Live Life Up

Last updated on: July 24, 2014 at 9:12 am By Brandan Robertson

Post By: Clark Hardy, Contributor Something I deeply appreciate and love about my wife is the depth of conversations we often have. Each of us has an interest in people and the aspects of their experiences that result in who they are. Rachel’s degree is a specialized sociology degree, and mine religion and theology. Human persons intrigue, inspire, and motivate us. The other night we were discussing how as people, we often get stuck in rut of surviving rather than... Read more

On Being A Heretic… (Crucified with Christ)

Last updated on: July 24, 2014 at 8:49 am By Brandan Robertson

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20 As I have reflected on this passage recently, it has begun to take on a whole new meaning. I finally feel like I am in a place where I can begin to just taste the smallest... Read more

Why I Can No Longer “Stand Up” For Israel

Last updated on: July 22, 2014 at 10:27 pm By Brandan Robertson

Post By: Christian Stackaruck, Theology Contributor I love Israel. I have studied, lived, and served in Israel and cannot wait to return to do so again. Further, many of my dearest friends are Israeli or are ardent supporters of Israel. Recently, reading about recent violence between Israel and Palestine in the news has reawakened years of questions and emotions that, from time to time, I succeed in laying to rest. I used to be pro-Israel in every sense of the... Read more

8 Things You Need To Know About Gaza

Last updated on: July 21, 2014 at 9:12 am By Brandan Robertson

The ongoing crisis in Gaza is complex. As I have said before, in these turbulent times, our first calling as followers of Jesus is to pray for peace. Peace between Israel and Hamas. Peace between Jews and Palestinians. Peace between all those who stand divided by these issues. We should work to prevent bitterness and hatred from arising, and instead seek the way of grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. But that road is long and difficult. The path towards peace is...

Hamas, the IDF, & Peace in the Middle East

Last updated on: July 18, 2014 at 8:06 pm By Brandan Robertson

I have a headache. I have been sitting around all day reading about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The situation is so incredibly complex. Emotions are high. Everyone has an opinion. No one seems to have a concrete answer. Few seem to have any verifiable facts. We see news reports of Israeli citizens cheering as they watch the IDF’s shower of rockets rain down on Gaza, killing dozens of civilians. We hear reports of Hamas, the Palestinian terror group,...

Church of Fear, Church of Love

Last updated on: July 17, 2014 at 8:40 pm By Brandan Robertson

Post By: Matthew Morrissey, Contributor Its 11pm on a Sunday evening, a time that represents an end and a beginning; a completion and a threshold share their presence. Sitting across from me is my friend, my brother and confidante. As we consume the remaining crumbs of a shared three dollar appetizer I am reminded of how extraordinary the ordinary can be. He talks and I listen; that’s our usual rhythm. We tell stories, stories that represent our togetherness and stories... Read more

No More Fear

Last updated on: July 16, 2014 at 5:40 pm By Brandan Robertson

I recently have had many conversations with friends of mine about where I am and where I have come theologically over the past few years. Looking back and seeing the journey that I have been on (and still continue on) it has been amazing to see the things that I have delved into, the ideas I have contemplated, and the people that I have interacted with from all across the theological spectrum. In reflecting on how these experiences have impacted... Read more

3 Ways Christians Use Theology to Misuse the Bible

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 at 3:34 pm By Brandan Robertson

Post by: Christian Stackaruck, Theological Contributor In recent years, theology has garnered a very popular reputation as being dead. In fact, more people probably believe that Elvis is alive and well than the study of theology. As a student of theology I have come to know this quite well. When asked by Christians what I study I now say, “ministry,” and when speaking with non-believers I say, “ancient Near Eastern languages and religious systems.” In the instance of the latter,...
