Syrian Religion in Ancient China

Syncretism & religious aspiration
  • rah
  • October 12, 2022

Power, Privilege, & Potluck Dinners

A simple meal as the unlikely demonstration of the gospel's power
  • rah
  • November 5, 2021
In capitals all around the world, men devise many means to encourage or impose even the most tenable of unities. Against these efforts are raised the schemes of still other clever men, attempting another new unity to replace the last. The church is to stand outside the circle of these efforts, preaching a gospel that displays a different kind of power.

Conceiving a Fiction

True practice & promotion is apprehended in the resurrection
  • rah
  • October 15, 2021
Arguments are frequently founded upon the implausibility or impossibility of their falsehood; but Paul’s tack is different.

Paul Writes to the Romans

The resurrection & gospel proclaim the authority of Christ
  • rah
  • September 18, 2020
In this way, the resurrection became the confirmation of Jesus’ authority where the Romans presently ruled. It also proclaimed Jesus' authority to give life where death now ruled. In other words, the gospel became something more than even the announcement that sins can be forgiven; it announced the power of God in realms where both men and death now usurp God's authority.
