It’s been over three months since I last posted, which I believe is the longest I’ve gone without writing a post since I started this site back in 2017. The time has flown by. Preparing for the birth of your first child will do that to you, I suppose. But just before an election many view as one of the […]
In light of everything that’s happened in the United States of America over the past couple of months–stemming from an increasing awareness of the big picture of systemic racism and oppression in American history over the last 400 years–is it appropriate to celebrate the Fourth of July as Independence Day? A few people are asking that question. To some it […]
If Christopher Columbus, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were alive today, they would be in prison for participating in human trafficking. And rightly so. The debate over the presence of statues of racist historical figures started in earnest a few years ago. At that time, the movement was focused on Confederate monuments commemorating those who fought to perpetuate the practice […]
Since this is 2020, an election year in the United States, there’s going to be a lot of talk on social media feeds about ideology. It won’t just be political ideology, nor will it be limited to political issues. That’s because in 2020, we are convinced that political opinions are just the surface-level expression of a deeper ideology held by […]
I expect this will be my last overtly political post for a while, because I feel like I’ve been way too politically-minded recently, and it’s taken away from developing a real closer relationship with God. But I also see the state of the nation we live in, and with it the state of the American church. Just as the country […]
I don’t post on Twitter very often, but I do scroll through my feed regularly — often to the detriment of my own sanity. But what I’ve seen on social media these days has made it hard to just observe how people are talking about the horrific mass shootings that happened in El Paso and Dayton last weekend. Everyone — […]
If you saw the news on Easter Sunday, you might have seen that one of the worst coordinated terror attacks in recent history took place in Sri Lanka: churches and hotels were bombed by radical Islamic terrorists, and 253 people were killed. The magnitude of an attack like this is hard to fathom. Over two hundred dead. On American soil, […]
In recent times, missionaries used to be generally respected by society. Even those who disagreed with their message had to admire those who would pack up, leave their home, and live in a foreign country to share a message of hope with the people. There was a widespread appreciation for the fact that many of these missionaries, in addition to […]
After a hotly contested election full of all the hostility we’ve come to expect from the American people these days, I wanted to express some quick scattered thoughts. The “blue wave” The blue wave was pretty underwhelming. Democrats won the races they had to to change the status quo, but not much more than that. At best, they met expectations […]
Israel has been in the news a lot lately, and it’s been some big news. First, there’s been rumors of war flying concerning Israel and its newest archnemesis, Iran. This itself is nothing new, but now there’s actually been an exchange of attacks in Syria. On top of that, just yesterday the United States celebrated the opening of its embassy […]
