The Terrorist Who Came in from the Cold (Part 2)
This is a serialized adaptation of my Easter sermon in article form. This isn’t a traditional Easter message. Instead of simply presenting the resurrection, I challenge visitors to think about the bankruptcy of their secular worldviews, as compared to the Christian faith and message.

The Terrorist Who Came in from the Cold (Part 1)
This is a serialized adaptation of my forthcoming Easter sermon in article form. This isn’t a traditional Easter message.

Maslow, material needs, and the gospel
Body

What's Behind the Social Justice Gospel-ers?
Body
“It’s a lesson that has been reinforced repeatedly by the cyclical rhythm of church history. … When one merges human amelioration of suffering and injustice with divine remediation of sin, inevitably the purpose and impact of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ takes a backseat.” - Pyro
