Is It Time We Stopped Describing God as Good?

Last updated on: July 25, 2017 at 12:11 pm By Guest Contributor

Indeed Very Many: Universalism in the Early Church

Last updated on: April 10, 2017 at 6:40 am By Matthew Distefano

An Open Letter from the Syrian Border

Last updated on: August 27, 2017 at 10:24 pm By Sheri Faye Rosendahl

Self-proclaimed Christian nation, I wish the lives of others mattered to you as much as Starbucks coffee cups. I know the guy you call savior instructed you to love others as yourselves, but that seems to have become more of a catchy phrase than an actual command to live by. Read more

“I Just Go by What the Bible Says” and Other Ridiculous Things Pastors Say

Last updated on: July 28, 2017 at 9:27 am By Guest Contributor
