Anti-Racism” often assumes that virtually ALL social inequalities are due to structural, social injustice. If you are a criminal or poor, it is not your fault.

Anti-Anti-Racism often teaches that virtually NO social inequalities are due to structural, social injustice. If you are a criminal or poor, it is always your fault.

Because Christianity teaches both individual and corporate responsibility, both humanity in the image of God and deep sinfulness, the Bible doesn’t promote either simplistic view.

It fully critiques both yet fulfills the best aspirations of each without combining or borrowing from either. It strongly calls for biblical justice but acknowledges the deep complexity of the causes and solutions without being reductionistic.

I'm so thankful Jesus is in the business of bringing the light of Himself into dark places.

"He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:13-14 (ESV)

The answer to this question is crucial.

If I am letting a mess define me, I will feel hopeless.
If I am letting a mess refine me, I will be hopeful.

God doesn’t want us to stay stuck in places of defeat. He wants us to be refined into the hope-filled women we’re meant to be.

Anything that violates the will of our Creator for human behavior is by definition de-humanizing. It is dehumanizing to hate, to lie, and to have sex outside of a mutually self-giving life-long covenant. (Many don't believe the Bible gives God's will--but that's another subject.)

All the beauty we have looked for in art or faces or places—and all the love we have looked for in the arms of other people—is only fully present in God himself.

We don’t want to lose the next generation. No more post 9/11 wars.

Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. Martin Luther King, Jr.

@SamParkerSenate @elonmusk Immigrants: less than a quarter looked into acquiring a bank account (24%), credit card (22%) or loan (16%) before moving.

Moving to a new country can be daunting but having a support network upon arriving alleviates some stress. Fortunately, nearly all respondents had that.

Christians should be experts in Joy, but we're not. Because we focus on the pleasures and blessings instead of the Blesser.

Life-giving faith grows beautiful and pure in the same place that gold grows beautiful and pure: in the furnace.
