What Evangelical Christians Don’t Understand About Inequality and Privilege
“Privilege” and “inequality”—these two words can start a firestorm of discussion. Many pastors and evangelical leaders have latched onto the concepts and are preaching them with fervor. One would think the terminology ran through the pages of Scripture itself. I recently saw a church doing a series on “dismantling racism” for Lent, and one of […]

America is suffering from the most widespread race riots in the history of the country—if not the world. We’ve reached a critical point of […]

I’ve been reading Christianity Versus Fatalistic Religions in the War Against Poverty by Udo Middelmann, president of the Francis A. Schaeffer Foundation. In this book he tells how he visited an East African village and observed two very different ways of living.
