Over 99 percent of voters in Southern Sudan have voted to secede from the North. While I am thrilled at this change, one element of surprise was a statement made by Southern Sudan President Salva Kiir, who is expected to lead the independent South.

In the aftermath surrounding new conservative Christian rhetoric concerning the evils of green religion, I though it appropriate to note, once again, what God says about the earth in the Bible: God says, 1. I made it.2. I called it good.3. I want you to take care of it.4. This earth is temporary, but important.5.…

A Huffington Post article this week noted how faith communities are stepping in to help military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yesterday, thousands of people across the United States gathered for various right to life events to recognize the importance of protecting the lives of unborn children. Both as a dad and follower of Jesus, I fully support limiting abortion as much as possible to save as many lives as possible. My question for those who…

A new series has come out actually claiming the green movement is false religion. Interesting. Of course, there are disclaimers that creation care is good, but “radical environmentalism” (as they define it) is bad. So where is the line? Let’s start with the basics. God made everything. He called it good. He expects us to…

My friends at RejectApathy.com recently posted an inspiring story about efforts to bring clean water to a community in Ethiopia, building hope and relationships in the process. Clean water access is one of the most disturbing problems in our world today, and one I’ll be talking about more soon. In the meantime, enjoy their story…
