F-Bombs and Bikinis: What It Really Means to Be a Christian

Christian subcultures are an entertaining phenomenon. Multiple brands of Christianity claim the same Lord and read the same Bible, and yet they promote a set of values sometimes as different as apples and orangutans.

Why Are White Millennials Leaving White Church in Droves?

I guess this could be subtitled “part 4” of my current series. But since I’m shifting gears a bit, I decided to let it sit as a stand alone, yet related, blog. After reading my first post in the series, my friend Derwin Gray Tweeted me a message saying that the flood of Millennials leaving the church is largely a white problem.

What Does it Mean to Be "Called?"

In my last post, I argued that the ever popular Christianese phrase “feeling called to…” is not a biblical concept.
