…xpressed that I was surprised to see her at school. She responded that she really just wanted to come to see me and another teacher. I can’t help but marvel at God’s hand in all of this. This student started at the tribal school part way through the school year; I’m not sure why she transferred from the local public school, but now I know why. I trust that God wanted her here, surrounded by people who love her. There is no mistake that the two tea…

Confessions of a Secret Gnostic: Part One

…hat the spiritual reality is the less weighty one, that it is a mere vapor compared to the reality we see around us—not so! In Colossians 2:17, it relates how the things of this earth are a “shadow of what was to come; the substance is the Messiah.”2 The embodied, risen Christ is our hope, not because he is floating in the air somewhere, but because he showcases the promise of our future resurrected bodies. Honoring the “one person, two natures” r…

…nsciously phony or self-delusional, but either way, it is not good (Mt. 6:5-6, 7:21-23). In American politics, almost every politician is a good Christian because they follow the manipulative maxim of Machiavelli: “A prince ought to… appear to him who sees and hears him altogether merciful, faithful, humane, upright, and religious. There is nothing more necessary to appear to have than this last quality , inasmuch as men judge generally more by th…

And we should know, better than anyone, what a gift it is to be given hope when we are hopeless. We know the true source of hope, and we can never stop spreading that hope wherever it is most needed. But hope can’t be spread from the outside, by talking at peo…

She tells him that she loves him, but we see images of her on gigantic neon signs in the cityscape. We’re told later that she’s a corporate product, one who simulates love but, apparently, can never provide the real thing. All of this makes “Blade Runner 2049” sound like a movie of a thousand ideas. In fact,…

What qualities define beautiful mathematics? There are many which might be familiar from other aesthetically-minded disciplines (e…

The Relationship Between Faith and Art

…said, some questions come to my mind based on another fundamental doctrine–that of the fall and human sin. How does human sinfulness play out in artistic expression? Is there some art that reflects more sinful tendencies than others? If every part of creation was tainted by the fall, then it must have some effects on art as well. In your argument, the fall is not specifically mentioned–not that it has to be, but I am wondering how you would res…

Kuyper warns against the dangers of his idea at the end of his first volume of “Common Grace”. A door gives the Christian “new” felt access to the world, but world pushes back and gains access as well. The term “grace,” is misleading and gives the believer a false sense of secur…

This thesis–that today’s modern secular liberalism is yesterday’s progressive Christianity–is the core of Joseph Bottum’s argument in his 2014 book An Anxious Age: The Post-Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of America. Moreover, I think it likely that whatever natural reticence that Hillary may have as to self-identifying as Christian, it isn’t at all clear how that could help her in…
