The Heart of the Gospel is…Anger? Really? The Anatomy of a John Piper Tweet
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag
As we’ve seen before, when John Piper tweets, it can get ugly. Like it did here: The heart of the gospel is that God took the initiative in Christ to satisfy his holy anger, and make himself our Treasure not our Terror. — John Piper (@JohnPiper) September 8, 2015 Granting, of course, that 140 characters does not a systematic theology make, this particular tweet says a lot about where Piper and his followers are coming from. Let’s take it apart... Read more

Bernie Sanders: At Liberty, With Justice, For All
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag
By now you’re aware that Bernie Sanders, Senator from my home state of Vermont and Democratic frontrunner in the early presidential bid, visited Liberty University on Monday and gave a speech at the school’s convocation. You can watch that speech here: But what you might not realize is that the significance of this event was not merely that a liberal politician spoke at a conservative Christian college. The significance was that a message of justice was spoken in a context... Read more

Tonight’s the Night – Writing About Binge-Watching the Gospel at Seedbed!
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag
Today I’m over at Seedbed writing about binge-watching the gospel story in our cultural stories – and my journey from Dexter to now: “Tonight’s the night. And it’s going to happen again, and again. Has to happen.” With this ominous voiceover, we are introduced to a TV character named Dexter. And the thing that is going to happen tonight – that will happen again and again – is killing. When I began writing my first book in 2012, I had an interesting task ahead of me:... Read more

Top Ten Reasons Donald Trump is the Perfect American Evangelical
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag
David Letterman retired this past spring, and one hopes the nightly Top Ten List has been retired along with him like a well-worn NBA jersey. However, that won’t stop me, a lifelong Letterman fan, from doing my own weekly Top Ten List – with a faith and culture twist. Paul, drumroll please… Top Ten Reasons Donald Trump is the Perfect American Evangelical Number 10… Strongly believes a woman (Megyn Kelly) should not be permitted to teach a man (Trump) and must be...

For Christianity in the U.S., the Apocalypse is NOW
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag
Does the decline of Christian faith in America signal the end of the church as we know it? Are these the “last days” for Christianity in the U.S.? Is the culture moving on, leaving us behind? As Christian institutions of all categories and denominations face drastic decline, and the non-religious share of the population continues to expand, it might appear that Christian faith in America is experiencing its very own apocalypse. And that’s true. The apocalypse is now. But it’s not exactly... Read more

Evangelicalism TRUMPS the Shark: What’s a Messy Middle Christian to Do?
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag
Do conservative evangelical Republicans really like Donald Trump? It certainly seems that some of the more intellectual evangelical leaders are not big fans, but it also seems that much of the evangelical populous, at least those that clearly identify as Republican, are. This is the only way that Trump could be leading in the polls, even among evangelicals. It also explains his upcoming meeting with evangelical heavies (at least in the celebrity/prosperity gospel world). Finally, it would seem to be... Read more

Beyond Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: Building a Post-Complementarian Church on the Word of God
Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Guest Contributor
The following is a guest post from Jory Micah. See her bio and links below! Well known complementarian John Piper has both egalitarians and complementarians scratching their heads in confusion. Piper is undoubtedly one of the most prominent theologians of our time, a “Goliath” if you will. I feel a bit like young David in the Old Testament taking him on, but surely if God can use David, He can use me. There is no doubt that most of us have been touched... Read more
