As a Christian I have no tolerance for any sort of #sorrynotsorry theology or doctrine. There is no apology normally; just a demand for forgiveness without any confession of wrong doing.

Fourteen Rules for Discerning Spirits (Part 3)
For me, these rules have been helpful daily reminders for how to process and do life with God in a more effective manner, and I hope they have been the same for you.
Fourteen Rules for Discerning Spirits (Part 1)
The discernment of spirits is one of those things that we know is in the Bible, but are not always eager to discuss. We aren’t avoiding the topic, I think it sounds too mystical for many Christians.
Church from a Child’s Eyes
In the face of systemic human suffering and need, children’s first instinct is to rely on their church family to increase their effectiveness in responding to said need.
Did I Hear What I Think I Read?
Do we look at the text, recognize and comprehend the writing, then proceed to vocally proclaim it, modernizing the practice of differentiating how we read the text from how we vocalize it?
Reclaiming Imagination: An Update
These crosses make an imaginative declaration of faith: through the cross we have given up our sins, entrusted our struggles to God, and submitted our identity markers to our identity in Christ.
A Revelation of Atonement
This is the story of Jesus offering himself as a sacrifice to overthrow evil, and we would be wise to remember that the passion of the Christ was the dénouement of a cosmic battle.
Love Them More
With one act of love, an ISIS cell that was responsible for the deaths of fourteen Christians changed their behavior from hatred to respect. The choice to love his enemies brought peace to that village.
A Reminder from Flat Worms
Scripture is meant to transform, influence, and tame you. Scripture is still God’s word for a people, not a people’s interpretation of God’s word for a people.
Breath Prayers
Breath prayers are simple in practice and in theory. In theory, breath prayers are one short refrain, sometimes even a single word, repeated silently or audibly, to the rhythm of your breath.
The War on Advent
Advent is a reminder that we still wait for the Messiah. As a people who live in the “now and not yet” of the kingdom of God, we await the return of Christ.
Reclaiming Imagination
We must remove our imaginations from the shelves of our childhood. We must imagine a world driven by kingdom living so that we can work together to let that imagination form tomorrow’s reality.
