MAEWYN SUCCAT AND THE RADICAL FORGIVENESS OF SAINT PATRICKAUTHOR:STEPHEN CAREY
Maewyn Succat and the Radical Forgiveness of Saint Patrick. Maewyn (pronounced My Win) Succat was not a particularly religious 16-year-old boy born to upper-middle-class Italian parents who raised him in a loving home enjoying the finer things of life. One day while celebrating with friends at a villa on the coast of Wales, he wastaken
IN GOD'S TRENCHES: A DEVOTIONAL EXERCISE ON HUMILITY In the trenches, no one in the unit is better than anyone else. Despite politics, religion, race or background, the unit is one. This is a snapshot of selflessness and humility. Humility is the opposite of pride, arrogance, and egotism. Humility is mentioned around 100 times in the Bible, and perfectly demonstrated in the life of Jesus. DEBUNKING THE TRUMP-CYRUS PROPHECY REALLY!?! MEN ARE THE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE HOME? There are several places in the New Testament that say husbands are the heads of their wives, as Christ is the head of the church. However most scholars agree that the word translated “head” in English implies completion and/or source, not authority. Of course Christ is Lord and has all authority, but the headship passages are emphasizing JESUS VALUED SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SO SHOULD YOU August 19, 2015. Church Life, Practical Justice, Theology. 117. Jesus was a social justice hero. He boldly spoke out against inequality, helped the oppressed, condemned the oppressor, and embraced the alienated. Like today, many were drawn to His causes and could identify with his messages. He attracted crowds, followers, anddisciples.
FIVE REASONS CHRISTIAN PARENTS "LOSE" THEIR CHILDREN 1) Falling into the temptation of using religion to control their children through guilt and shame. “Jesus is watching you!”. Even the best parents can find themselves wanting some divine backup in a conflict with their children. However, using God for FRANKLIN GRAHAM'S RELIGION IS NOT HIS FATHER'S Franklin is devoted to the political religious climate of his time, but we should be very wary of accepting anything we see or hear that appears to be coming from his father, especially during this volatile election season. Franklin now has control of the Billy Graham Association, but Franklin’s Christianity is not his father’s. RED LETTER CHRISTIANS Staying true to the foundation of combining Jesus and justice, Red Letter Christians mobilizes individuals into a movement of believers who live out Jesus’ counter-cultural teachings. BEWARE OF CHRISTIAN GASLIGHTING Beware of Christian Gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation and abuse in which seeds of doubt are sown in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Within Christianity, it can manifest as when people are targeted and spiritually manipulated by SAY ‘NO’ TO CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM: EVANGELICAL LEADERS As leaders in the broad evangelical community, we recognize and condemn the role Christian Nationalism played in the violent, racist, anti-American insurrection at the United States Capitol on January 6. We recognize the damage done by radicalized Christian Nationalism in the world, the church, and in the lives of individuals andcommunities.

THE CHURCH’S OPPRESSION OF WOMEN The Church’s Oppression of Women. American Christianity has been a horrible place for women. It ignores them, abuses them, assaults them, objectifies them, oppresses them, and then attempts to theologically rationalize it all as being “Biblical” and “holy.”. The Church has been a willing co-conspirator in the widespread affliction of BEING BORN AGAIN IS NOT ABOUT GOING TO HEAVEN In the church I grew up in, being Christian was all about your own personal relationship with God and leading others to Christ. The kingdom of heaven meant “heaven when you die” and being born again was the sign of whether or not you were really saved. Certain behaviours also determined whether or not you were “in.”.

There are kids, teens, and adults at your church that are LGBTQ+. They’re wondering if there’s a place for them. And more will be coming. Or maybe they won’t. Not because they aren’t seeking Christ, community, and Biblical truth, but because they’re tired of being rejected. They're tired of looking for the exit.
