OPINION: Social media for the responsible Christian
Other Opinions
By Alex Gallimore   
Friday, May 17, 2013
Social media is adding to our cultural fears and increasing the anxiety we long to cure. As Christians, we have been called to maintain a spirit of peace when life seems most chaotic and of hope when those around us become hopeless. This extends to our presences on social media.
 
OPINION: Who are you?
Other Opinions

Two films currently playing — Iron Man 3 and The Great Gatsby — deal in different ways with one of the great struggles of life — finding identity. Discerning who you are and what you are about are key parts of our human development and our maturation.

This is what I believe we should be praying for — enlarged imaginations. If we are to re-imagine the life of the church in light of what God is currently busy doing in the world, we are going to need a healthy, functioning, vibrant imagination. And we haven’t been too big on fostering that for quite some time now.
 
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Can we work together despite differences?
Other Opinions
By Raymond Cady

The decision this past March of the Richmond Baptist Association to continue in Christian fellowship and partnership with Ginter Park Baptist Church was a crowning moment for me in the life of Baptist churches. We agreed to disagree, but to continue working together for common causes of Christ and his teachings.
 
TRENDING: Spiritual formation
Other Opinions

Dallas Willard died on May 8. Or I should say, quoting Pascal, what he once believed, he now sees. Perhaps no other figure in the past 50 years has caused so many North American evangelicals to think so deeply about what it means to follow Christ.
 
VITAL SIGNS: Success or significance?
Other Opinions
By Bill Wilson   
Monday, May 13, 2013
Bob Buford once wrote a book titled Halftime: Moving From Success to Significance in which he suggests that many of us come to a point in our life when we realize that we have been in a futile pursuit of success, when what we desperately need is significance.
 
WINN RECOMMENDS: Books that matter
Other Opinions
By Winn Collier   
Monday, May 13, 2013
Tyler Wigg-Stevenson provides a thoughtful, Christian narrative of how we can work for good while also maintaining spiritual vitality. James K.A. Smith navigates a wide range of scholars to arrive at a hermeneutic grounded in the history of how God has spoken in the church through the ages.
 
OPINION: Consequences of ideas
Other Opinions
By Jonathan Waits

As the jury drew near to the end of its deliberations I tried to keep current with the trial of Kermit Gosnell, the man who ran the now-infamous Philadelphia abortion clinic, and who was charged with the death of five people. In light of his conviction on some of those charges, I sat down to reflect.
