    Uniformity Is Not Unity: How Our Differences Make Us Stronger

    Have you noticed the growing pressure for sameness in our civic and religious cultures lately, the idea that uniformity, or perhaps conformity, is necessary for a holy and Godly nation? I have, and I'm very concerned, because I think it's dangerously false. Not only is it not biblical, it also makes us weaker. I'm going to explore this topic for a few minutes, from both religious and political perspectives. You can also read this in blog form at https://crucibleofthought.com/uniformity-is-not-unity/

  2. Laying Down My Arms

    Laying Down My Arms

    Everything is a battle lately, both politics and religion, and this keeps us focused on everyone else being our enemy, not our neighbor or fellow believer. I'm choosing to lay down my arms, and stop this cycle of violence which prevents us from moving forward together.

  3. Fool's Gold for Jesus

    Fool's Gold for Jesus

    As a former evangelical, I experienced a number of occasions where we chased after some manifestation we thought was of God, but probably was not. It's too easy to get busy worshiping this kind of experience, instead of worshiping God. You can watch this video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz0ZKEQ1cpk A compilation of video clips about Silvania Machado: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPxZsvtC6tE Silvania Machado speaking at a church (starts when the "gold" manifests): https://youtu.be/9SbFUP4SEx8?t=807 Some stories about the "gold dust" being proven untrue: http://web.archive.org/web/20040204233930/http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/miraclegold.htm https://banner.org.uk/tb/golddust.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20111212202542/http://riverforum.blogspot.com:80/2008/11/sylvania-machado-gold-dust-exposed-as.html A testimony from a true believer in the glory dust: https://www.maxgreinerart.com/glory_dust.htm

  4. A Conversation with Matthew D. Taylor, Ph.D.

    A Conversation with Matthew D. Taylor, Ph.D.

    I'm pleased to bring you a conversation with another author who wrote a book that I really found helpful in understanding aspects of American religious culture - and in this case, not just Christian, but also other faiths. Dr. Taylor wrote "The Violent Take It by Force", just released this fall, and we talk about interfaith issues as well as the dangers and challenges of Christian Nationalism.

    Fits and Starts - Our Imagined Progress Towards the Kingdom

    Jesus very clearly said His Kingdom was not of this world. We need to stop trying to change His mind about that. You can also read this episode in blog form at https://crucibleofthought.com/fits-and-starts/

  6. Stop Using Romans 13 as a Bludgeon

    Stop Using Romans 13 as a Bludgeon

    Too often, Romans 13:1-2 is used as a bludgeon to coerce people into meekly giving in to the current political regime and gaslighting their appropriate Spirit-led responses to the politics du jour. I've grown up enough to recognize it as outright spiritual abuse. And I've never heard it preached anytime other than during trying political seasons. That needs to stop. The blog post text version of this video: https://crucibleofthought.com/stop-using-romans-13-as-a-bludgeon/ A couple good additional links: https://knowingscripture.com/articles/romans-13-civil-disobedience-to-unconstitutional-unjust-laws https://bible.org/article/paul-and-civil-obedience-romans-131-7

  7. Can A Christian Vote For A Democratic Presidential Candidate?

    Can A Christian Vote For A Democratic Presidential Candidate?

    For the first time in my life, after almost 40 years voting 100% Republican, I voted as a Christian for a Democrat this year. Is that even possible? After four intensive years of rethinking my doctrines and politics, I have concluded that my former right-wing positions on abortion, LGBTQ, racism, 2A, welfare, climate, immigration, and Christian Nationalism were WRONG. I take some time to explain exactly why I reached these conclusions. Read it here: https://crucibleofthought.com/a-christian-voting-democrat/ Watch it here: https://youtu.be/pqEa7rY9qAI
