…Christianity’s cultural dominance has declined. He points out that the fastest-growing religious category in the United States to day is ‘none.’ Perhaps this is part of the cultural narrative that leads some to think that deconstruction is leading to people walking away from organized religion. But Zahnd is not so quick to make that jump, and instead invites us to wander through some historical and philosophical exploration that has led us to the…

…ur attachment style impact how we see God and how we rely on Him in our day-to-day lives? The answer is yes. How we were parented does impact the way we see God as our Heavenly Father and how we come to rely on Him. There are two main models of thought about how anxious/avoidant or avoidant attachment styles might affect perspectives on a relationship with God. The first is called the compensation hypothesis; and in this situation, individuals ten…

Daily Scripture Texts Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16 Acts 7:55-60 John 14:1-14 1 Peter 2:2-10 In the preface to his commentary on the book of Psalms, John Calvin noted that he liked to think of the psalter as “An Anatomy of all the Parts of the Soul.” He stated further, “there is not an emotion of which any one can be conscious that is not here represented as in a mirror.”1 Loosely paraphrased, this means that psalms speak to us and for us. We can imagine o…

…God suffers with and for us, we might experience an even closer glimpse of communion. In God’s compassion, there is communion and connection. Like the faithful parents and the child crying together in unison, so much so that their tears are blurred together, so is God’s suffering with us. When we open ourselves up, and let ourselves experience our suffering with the deep trust that God is with us, we are invited to a deeper union with our Triune G…

…nscendent idea of the sacred. Professor Smith develops his thesis in a step-by-step process. In the first part, he shows how Rome was fundamentally a religious society. Rome’s religion gave meaning to life and held the empire together. Christianity, however, challenged that by moving the location of the sacred from this world to one given and defined by the transcendent Christian God. This new understanding of the location of the sacred was simply…

Further, the affirmation of others becomes a required component for giving “weightiness” to our chosen meanings. Thus, our self-expression (and affirmation of it) becomes a weight of anxiety and contingency that undermines supposed virtues like contentment or any sort of stable happiness.  Ultimately, Noble says that society places us in a “binary tension of existentialism” that entices us with “godlike powers…

Based on the factors we’ve discussed, it’s more likely that individuals in high tax or high-cost states will receive less of a benefit, but the specific changes have largely progressive effects. I guess if you’re dead-set on saying that the new law targets Democrats, it’s targ…

In other words, CRC-affiliated schools do not share the same conspiratorial histor…

This chapter is made up of 22 stanzas (reflecting the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet), and each stanza includes eight verses that collectively speak of God’s blameless laws, His mercy and grace, and the disobedient hearts of nonbelievers and persecut…
