Why We Need More Hypocritical Christians
Since I recently wrote on Christian Nationalism, I need to address a criticism some Christians have of the concept: hypocritical Christians. This criticism comes mostly from thoughtful Baptists who are consistent with their theological presuppositions and worry that...
Recognizing the Spirit of God-Christology
For the first more than five years of my Christian life, theology was non-existent. There seemed to be this sense that theology was a distraction at best, and a waste of time at worst. If not overtly taught, I still picked up that theology would get in the way of the...
