Weekly Roundup (Feb. 24 - Feb. 28)

In case you missed any of the blog posts this week, you can find them all right here!

Monday: Pastors: Entrepreneurs of Emotional Stimulation

In this post I look at what the pastoral office in America has become, namely a job of emotional manipulation.

Tuesday: Why I'm Tired of "Christian Unity"

In this post I look at how the term "unity" is frequently used in modern Christian circles. I critique that we have replaced true unity with a "least common denominator" type of Christianity.

Wednesday: Sex Has Become Our Answer to EVERYTHING

In this post I look at how we have come to view everything in our culture around sex and sexuality. I take a brief look at how virtue and morality has been assessed historically and share a video of CS Lewis on "Sexuality Morality" that I thought was brilliant.

Thursday: The Age of the Political Celebrity and the Celebrity Politician

In this post I look at how the "professions" of politician and celebrity have become increasingly mixed up in each others realms. I show how this is the natural result of a "pop" culture that is thriving not only in America, but in American churches too.

I hope you've enjoyed the posts this week! I'd love to hear what you think in the comments section below!

Lots of food for thought!
