Your analysis of the meaning of Donald Trump is probably neither insightful, useful nor necessary
This article takes a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek look at why pastors and religious figures might want to think twice before offering deep theological insights into political events, like the election of Donald Trump. It questions the usefulness of such analyses, especially given how often past predictions have missed the mark. The author suggests that perhaps, as Christians, we should focus more on what truly excited the Apostle Paul, rather than getting caught up in fleeting political punditry. It’s a humorous nudge to think about what really matters in faith, rather than getting too bogged down in political commentary.

Bodily searches

“The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel”
This article dives into ‘The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel’, a key document for evangelical Christians. It explores section 8, which really digs into the church’s main purpose. The main takeaway? The statement highlights the church’s core functions like preaching and teaching, and suggests social activism isn’t the main gig. But the author wonders if it could be clearer, and points out some blurry bits. If you’re into understanding how faith and social action mix (or don’t, according to some), this one’s for you!
