A Biblical Framework for Tackling Slavery
A recent exchange I had on social media touched on the controversial topic of slavery, and how the Bible seems to support it. This kind of accusation is easily supported by recalling numerous verses in the Bible that regulate, and even seem to condone slavery.

Dealing with Pope Francis and Catholicism
September 18, 2013
These days it seems the new Pope’s down-to-earth, conciliatory style is giving the world fresh energy to talk about spiritual things.

Evan Wickham sings about how He is everywhere. Even if we could climb into the sky, or if we were to fall in the pits of despair, He is there. The lyrics are rock solid truth, but the music is so awesome and Evan delivers the looping tracks, live, so effortlessly, that this is just […]

Don’t Grow Cold
January 31, 2012
Reflecting on our Christian life and our lack of positive impact in society can be depressing. When I’m not mad at myself for being so passive, I’m blaming Christian leaders for not training us to get out of our comfort zones to express God’s love for all people.

Talking the Walk
