Strategies of Grace for Self-Righteous Prosecutors

This is both accurate and convicting: “We’re all defense attorneys when it comes to our own sin, but we turn into prosecutors when we see the sin of others.”

Honoring God With Your Body: More Than a Health Goal

Staci explains why honoring God with your body must be more than a mere health goal. “I’m not the girl I used to be. In many ways I’ve changed for the better, but those changes don’t show up so well in the photos on social media. These moments remind me how easy it is—even as a Christian woman—to measure my worth by appearance instead of focusing on what truly matters: honoring God with your body, no matter your season of life.”

Living For Christ in a Post-Christian World

Getting Baptized Before Taking Communion

Mitch explains why it is good and proper to get baptized before participating in Communion. He goes back to the Old Testament to explain.

David and Jonathan: Not Just About Friendship

Opponents of Christianity often claim that David and Jonathan’s relationship was homosexual while Christians rightly insist that it was a relationship of friendship rather than romance. But then Stephen Steele asks, “But are we also guilty of missing the point by seeing this relationship as merely one of friendship?”

Why Is God Male?

“We cannot deny that God is described in male language throughout the Bible. There are, of course, some feminine images used of God (e.g. Psalm 91). We would have to be feeling obtuse to decide this meant that God is not described in male language. The Father is a father, the Son is in the most literal way, a man, and the Spirit—well, this is where it gets trickier…”

AI Promises a Kind of Ministry We Shouldn’t Want

Chris offers lots of really compelling thoughts about AI and how, in some ways at least, it promises a kind of ministry we shouldn’t want.

Flashback: Not Worrying ≠ Not Caring

In those times we are fearful or uncertain, we can make ourselves believe that our worrying displays just how much we care, just how much our hearts are engaged. But it’s a false connection. The fact is, we can care deeply and never feel a single pang of worry.

If we cannot do all the good we wish, let us do all the good we can.

—William Plumer

  • Is It Fair of God
