In my own context of Christianization and capital punishment, the argument must be discussed not only at the level of policy, but at the level of Scripture.
Colin Kaepernick and the Professional Cost of Protest
If Christians wish to pursue justice in the nation, then they must be prepared to face professional costs just like Colin Kaepernick.
Overwhelming Justice and Mercy
God is good—always, good. But, he is not simple, nor simply “safe.”
Jesus: Signal of Hope
I am coming to believe that Jesus ordered people to keep quiet because Jesus knew if we talked, we would mess up the simple message: Jesus is the Son of God and he was sent to this earth to free the oppressed and bring restoration to the whole of humanity and creation.
