Another reason to work toward a world free of nuclear weapons is that all Christians ultimately believe that a world of unbounded peace and unity will eventually be. This is an eschatological reasoning. Perhaps John Howard Yoder can best articulate this point, but suffice it to say this: There will be a day in the [...]

A World Without Nukes – Creation.

As I think of a world free of nuclear weapons, one of the driving reasons to work toward that end is creation.
From the beginning, orthodox Jews and Christians have affirmed that God is the Creator and Sustainer of both the world and the universe. It was at the voice of God the world was made; [...]

Angry Preaching

I’m growing evermore concerned about the debased preaching in many American churches. Here’s how it goes, preachers are talking about how sin “pisses off” God or that some people think Jesus “dressed like a fairy,” or that Jesus “wasn’t a wuss.” I’ve even heard one well-known pastor tell a story about dismissing a young man’s [...]
