Enemies

As an extremist Muslim, I beat a Christian boy and left him to die. His faithful prayers for me led to my salvation.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave specific instructions for embodying his story with our lives. None of it “works” in this political climate.

Our politics are bitter and retributive. In the Christians of the Civil Rights Movement, we have a model of a better way.

On Holy Enmity and the Life of Beauty

Elevation’s recent hit has stirred a broader discussion on how to incorporate imprecatory language in worship without being triumphalist.

This sounds counterintuitive. But there are biblical and cultural reasons for believing it.

Affection can keep us together, even if ideas don’t.

My caution to those who “stand for truth” by calling down “fire from heaven” upon its enemies.

Strangers and enemies don’t come naturally.
