How do we know if we have domesticated Scripture to feed our spiritual pride? There are at least three major signs.

These facts are only a few in a long list of social ills, conflicts, and challenges God’s people have faced these past few years.

For me, Christian spirituality is holistic because the biblical truth and worldview is holistic.

Even though that 2013 report named them, I wonder how much these fears have been openly acknowledged and transparently wrestled with by CRC leaders.

An estimated 150,000 children went through the residential school system, most of them traumatized and abused.

If these collective strengths that we pride ourselves on can solve our decline, wouldn’t they have solved it by now?

When through our words we reduce a person made in God’s image into an object of derision in our minds and hearts, we have made them less human.

True, God shows no partiality or favoritism (Rom. 2:11; Eph. 6:9). But God does not erase our ethnic or racial differences either. We need to avoid two extremes.

All the way up the ride, I wondered if I should say something. I was afraid to confront the man.

Are we identifying ourselves more by our politics than by our faith?
