During Moscow’s invasion in 2014, Oleksandr Pavenko, pastor of Transfiguration Church in Slovyansk, Ukraine, lost two of his sons—both of them also pastors. Kremlin-backed separatists stormed his church and abducted his sons and two church deacons, then tortured and killed the four men. A year after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, a third son died Read more. The post As Russia Strikes Ukrainian Churches, Worship Goes On appeared first on Christianity Today

Just War Debates Reveal Our Moral Poverty

One evening, when I was 13, I came in from outside to find my parents watching TV. The screen was dotted with rockets scorching their way across a distant night sky, and the first United States invasion of Iraq was underway. As a child growing up in a relatively safe city, it had never seriously Read more. The post Just War Debates Reveal Our Moral Poverty appeared first on Christianity Today

Building a Platform for God—or Using God to Build Your Platform?

I attended a megachurch in Southern California for about five years. It touted itself as being gospel centered, intergenerational, and multiethnic. The pastor seemed larger than life and had a gift for preaching. I thought I’d found a good church home. It was successful, at least: A famous former wide receiver attended, and all of Read more.

How God Helps Me Eat on $33 Per Week

Last year I grossed about $3,000 less than the Alaska poverty line and spent nearly three-fourths of what I did earn on rent for an apartment that’s close to the cheapest Anchorage offers. Car upkeep—vital to my freelance work as a writer and church pianist—took roughly another 20 percent of my income. You do the Read more.

You Can’t Love the Church in the Abstract

Evangelical ecclesiology tends to nest at two extremes. At one end is faith in the Church—the people of God dispersed throughout all places and times. As the Nicene Creed says, Christians “believe in one, holy, catholic [or, universal] and apostolic church.” This is the body of Christ, comprising yet transcending local communities of belief, the Read more.

What I Learned Teaching the Same Book Twice—20 Years Apart

This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here. After finishing a year teaching through the Book of Hebrews at my church, I stumbled upon some of my old notes I hadn’t seen in almost two decades—from the last time I spent a year teaching through that book, back in 2007. I was struck by how Read more. The post What I Learned Teaching the Same Book Twice—20 Years Apart appeared first on Christianity Today

In the Beginning Was the Word, Not the State

“Politics,” argues theologian William T. Cavanaugh, “is a practice of the imagination.” “How does a provincial farm boy become persuaded that he must travel as a soldier to another part of the world and kill people he knows nothing about?” Cavanaugh wrote in his 2002 book, Theopolitical Imagination. “He must be convinced of the reality Read more.
