Book Review – The Justice of Jesus
Every now and again, you read something that you wish you wrote. Joash Thomas’ book “The Justice of Jesus” is that for me. I am incredibly thankful for this book because as a racialized person who identifies as a Christian, I am tired. I am tired of having to explain the ways in which white Continue reading

Theology Thursday – When fear is no longer a reaction, but a willful action
A picture taken by Magnus Wennman from a collection called “Where The Children Sleep”, which showcases the life of refugee kids after their flight from their homeland, Syria. Like most people, I was shocked, angered, disheartened, and incredibly saddened by the recent horrific violent scenes coming out from Paris. I was at a book launch Continue reading

A Lenten Poem
The sky darkening Thunder It was as if the heavens themselves wanted to let the earth know of their anger It was more than they can bear. From the lofty heights, the clouds saw what was happening below “What insanity has taken hold of the mortals?”, they wondered. He was the One to redeem creation Continue reading

Flashback Friday – My hatred for the term “man up”

Encouragement of the Day
“In general, Jesus doesn’t spend a great deal of time qualifying his points and making sure that everybody understands him clearly according to the recent political correctness. I am afraid liberal people are just as trapped in political correctness as are conservatives. Liberals often want you to say what will be inoffensive to any ego, Continue reading

Encouragement of the Day
“Christianity began not as a religion, but as a way of life shaped by the gospel. The pattern of that way is the loving service of Jesus, consummated in his self-giving on the cross. Paul made it clear that Christian worship is our own self-giving in similar service, enabled by the Spirit who dwells within Continue reading

The importance of thanksgiving
I have a tendency to complain. I look at the world and I wonder how come I don’t have this or that. I look at people and wish I had what they had. I’m never satisfied. The Bible says that the eyes want a lot of things. It uses the more technical term of “coveting” Continue reading

Encouragement of the Day
“The revelation of the Bible is not that Jesus Christ took upon Himself our fleshly sins, but that He took upon Himself the heredity of sin which no man can touch. God made His own Son to be sin that He might make the sinner a saint. All through the Bible it is revealed that Continue reading
