Reversing the Gospel: Warfield on Race and Racism
Social causes crop up only very seldom in his works, but one social cause stands out as one holding his particular interest: the cause of the American blacks.
The giant of Old Princeton, B. B. Warfield, outspokenly condemned the racism and rigid segregation of American society of his day. His views were remarkably ahead of his time with regard to an understanding of the evil of racism and even somewhat prophetic with regard to the further evil that would result from it. His...

Vittoria Colonna – the Poet Who Inspired Michelangelo
He needed more than love. He needed the truth. Vittoria provided both.
Vittoria and Michelangelo had long conversations about art, poetry, and faith. They encouraged each other to keep writing and publish their works which, by that time, had turned almost exclusively to religion.

Andy Stanley: Church Unity Is More Important Than ‘Being Theologically Correct’
Stanley spoke of how he came to believe that believing in Jesus Christ was more important than theological arguments like how communion should be served or if babies should be baptized
“Will we prioritize our oneness over our politics? Will we continue to allow the kingdom of the world to divide the Kingdom of God that is in this world because of politics?” Stanley argued that oneness in the faith was “more important than being theologically correct,” adding that he believed when Christians of various denominations...

C. S. Lewis and the Great War
A hundred years ago, Lewis was an atheist in the trenches of a terrible war.
What Lewis found was something the Great War nearly destroyed for him: an explanation for his deepest longing, the desire for joy.

Corey Booker Hounds Mike Pompeo For Agreeing With Christianity On Gay Sex
Sen. Corey Booker (D-N.J.) raked the CIA director over the coals for his beliefs on same-sex marriage
“Pompeo is far from alone in his views of government affirmation for homosexual attraction. Most Christians believe this, as did Hillary Clinton — even during her own tenure as secretary of State.

3 Ways To Live By Faith When Life Makes No Sense At All
I was in acute renal failure and didn't know it. If I had waited another week to see a doctor, I would have been dead.
We aren’t supposed to figure life out. Hebrews 11 also indicates that Abraham didn’t know that God would provide an animal for sacrifice. In other words, he didn’t obey because he knew the future. When God sends confusing trials into our lives or asks us to obey mystifying commands, he won’t always tell us why.... Continue Reading
