Advent: The Season of Hope In Pain
Advent means a lot more when you are in pain and waiting for deliverance precisely because that is Advent. It is waiting to be delivered with the complete hope and assurance that deliverance is coming.
Blind Party Loyalty
Being a pawn is not my specialty and I have no choice but to refuse the blind loyalty of the democratic party just to have kind words said to me and no action done to fulfill the promises.
Book Review: Middle Knowledge
What John Laing has provided is a porous evangelical, Baptist-traditionalist/Arminian-leaning systematic theology with middle knowledge at the center of every doctrine. However, Middle Knowledge: Human Freedom in Divine Sovereignty is neither ordered for a systematic theology nor in possession of the clarity of conclusion for a primer on its variant of Molinism.
Book Review: The Sirens of Titan
It was captivating and satisfying from start to finish. How one could not enjoy Vonnegut is beyond me.
Book Review: Native Son
Good literature asks hard questions and while I don’t anticipate being in complete agreement with Richard Wright, I can’t plug my ears to this challenging book.
Book Review: Uncle Tom's Cabin
Neither a page turner or resounding classic, Uncle Tom's Cabin remains necessary canon to combat increasingly ahistorical American discussion.
Why Exclude Us?
I pray that these events will lead to dialogue between various minority ministries to work closer together and that people who do read and sign the new creed will get involved in real life in reconciliation ministries.
A Heroic King
Before we dismiss Martin Luther King’s heroic bravery, we should ask where—really—the faithful people were located? Behind a pulpit speaking words or in the marches living out their words?
Reformed Political Engagement
So back to the original question, can those in the Reformed Tradition bring anything to the table among interfaith discussions and even among the non-believer regarding political engagement towards virtue? Absolutely.
Book Review: The Great Gatsby
This is the most reader-friendly of Fitzgerald's novel. It's a rush of a novel with mostly toned-down renditions of all his idiosyncrasies.
Book Review: To a God Unknown
This is a book I want to own and digest slowly. I have high hopes that it will become one of my favorite books.
Book Review: Travels with Charley
“Beyond my failings as a racist, I knew I was not wanted in the South. When people are engaged in something they are not proud of, they do not want witnesses. In fact, they come to believe the witness causes the trouble.” - Steinbeck
Regarding Partiality
In practice, a person will never be able to address, help, or even be aware of all societal ills in the world. But when one of the ills is at your door you should care. God has placed each of us in certain regions, certain communities, and we can make an impact there.
Book Review: Stamped from the Beginning
If you care about racist ideas and their impact on African-Americans, whether you have a dog in the fight or not, this is required reading and will serve you well in your antiracist arsenal.
Solidarity in Suffering
While there are many practical benefits of Byrd's work, I believe its effort to make solidarity in suffering a joint gender effort is among the most valuable.
Book Review: Why Can't We Be Friends? (Danielle Pollock)
I hope this book is able to help many people see male-female friendships as the God-given gift that they are.
Book Review: Why Can't We Be Friends? (Joshua Torrey)
The church is uniquely those called by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ to be united with one another; but through over-sexualization, it has allowed its members to be severed one from another. By grounding her thesis in the humanity and unity found in Jesus Christ, Byrd provides the stable blocks for further discussion and application of deeper fellowship among the members of Christ's body.
Music Review: Both Ways
It's the album that I will forever remember as the pre-Peter album that encouraged me to live life to the fullest with my (currently only) four children. It's become an album that will forever be a specific moment in my life.
Music Review: Let The Trap Say Amen
There is no reason to flirt with secular music. If you gonna do it, just do it. Skip Lecrae.
