“CHRIST IS KING” 👑

JESUS. THEOLOGY. CULTURE.
Christians, instead of pressuring women to be Proverbs 31 women, what if we focused on being Proverbs 31:9 Christians—those who "speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Newsflash: The church’s tendency to protect abusive leaders is a slap in the face of victims and a key reason people are leaving the church.

It's ironic that some Christians use the term "social justice warrior" as an insult when the Bible actually calls us to pursue justice and care for the oppressed.

It was never CRT or DEI that was the problem. Rather it was racist ideals that sadly remain embedded in the modern church.

So in the 1950s, conservative Christians protested diversity in schools; in 2025, they are protesting diversity in workplaces.

If we're not going to learn from the Bible, could we at least learn from history.

A church's faithfulness to Jesus is evident in how it protects and loves survivors of abuse.

Whenever Christianity does not operate on principles of love, it has little to do with Jesus.
January 23, 2025 at 12:25 AM
It is very dangerous and wrong to think that Jesus would want Christians to enforce Christianity on everyone else.
January 22, 2025 at 3:05 PM
If we believe that Christianity's survival depends solely on who governs the country, it reveals that our faith is driven more by selfish agendas and a desire for power than by devotion to Jesus.

A Christianity that does not welcome the stranger, stand against racism, or speak up for women and other vulnerable individuals is one that has forgotten what Jesus stood for.

Christians, our obsession with conspiracy theories must stop. How can we claim to be people of truth while spreading wild conspiracy theories rooted in lies?
January 19, 2025 at 11:47 PM
Dear Christians: Jesus is less concerned with your church attendance and more with how you treat and love people throughout the week.

Boy, oh boy, if we as Christians think that Andrew Tate or Elon Musk represent a biblical version of manhood, then we really need to read our Bibles more.

Newsflash: Christian nationalism is causing more damage to the church's reputation than atheism or unbelief.

Christians, if we believe that God is love, then the way we communicate about Him must be done in a loving manner.

Sadly, many of us fail to do this online.

Christians, following Jesus is meant to make us more loving. The fear-mongering and hate-filled messages from some Christian circles are a betrayal to the way of Jesus.
January 6, 2025 at 1:51 PM
Christians, our history is filled with racism, misogyny, violence, homophobia, and other deeply shameful actions.

So, instead of longing for society to return to the "old Christian days," how about we focus on ensuring that Christians actually follow Jesus.
January 6, 2025 at 3:05 AM
Dear Christians: Can we leave behind in 2024 the idea that Christianity and conservatism are the same thing? They clearly are not.
January 1, 2025 at 12:42 AM
Christian nationalism poses a greater threat to Christianity than atheism or secularisation.

Conflating any particular nation with Christianity betrays the gospel.

Dear Christians: If God can love us, then He can love anyone else. Stop acting as though God loves some people less than He loves you.
December 26, 2024 at 3:13 PM
Christians, if God is love, it means His love is unconditional for LGBTQI individuals, atheists, and anyone else with whom we may disagree.
December 24, 2024 at 11:46 AM
Newsflash: Homophobia is a betrayal of Jesus' command to love
December 23, 2024 at 10:12 PM
Please do not conflate Christianity with conservatism.

They are not the same.
December 23, 2024 at 1:27 AM
Newsflash: Jesus commands Christians to love atheists and LGBTQI folks.
December 20, 2024 at 2:04 PM
Fun fact: Not all Christians are conservatives, and not all conservatives are Christians.

Jesus calls Christians to love others, seek justice, and walk humbly with God— which is far greater than conservatism.
