  • No quiet revival: when confirmation bias masks error

    Europe Church & Missions

    Celebration of the UK's "Quiet Revival" may have suddenly gone quiet but the experience has left the Evangelical Church with valuable lessons to learn—no more so than to be cautious of confirmation bias (believing something is true because you want it to be so). We do well to ensure that what we are celebrating is verifiably accurate.

  • Reflecting on Jesus' Palm Sunday example of triumph

    Europe Church & Missions Bible & Theology

    As Christian Nationalism supports brute force and the application of power locally and globally, Palm Sunday presents a reality check for true followers of Jesus. His example is ours to follow, not the example of Constantine. Jesus' triumph, in contrast, was subversive; one of humility, compassion, and grief for those abused by the misuse of power. Only Jesus' way leads to resurrection.

  • A tale of twin apocalyptic visions and the appropriate Christian response

    Europe Church & Missions Bible & Theology

    The war between Iran and Israel/United States, can be framed as a pursuit of two very different end-times perspectives. One from Evangelical Christianity (USA), the other from Shiite Muslim theology (Iran). Both envision the return of a messiah figure to rule the world. Jesus, however, did not call us to precipitate the end, that is the Father's prerogative. We are to love God and our neighbor, and this must remain our focus.
