It’s true that the rise of the internet and social media has created an entirely new level of intimacy and celebrity. But despite these realities, the root issues that lead many astray are not new. How should we respond to the public fall of a beloved leader or teacher? And what kinds of actions are disqualifying in the first place? How do we not lose heart when hypocrisy seems so commonplace?

2021-01-1811 minOut of OzShould Christians Support Black Lives Matter?There is probably no issue more highly-charged in modern America than the issue of race and racism. And front and center in that discussion is Black Lives Matter—both as a movement and an organization. We cannot call ourselves Christians and say that black lives (or any lives) don’t matter. The bible explicitly condemns racism. But the issue of Black Lives Matter is bigger than racism. It’s about words and definitions and politics and agendas. So what exactly are those words, definitions, policies, and agendas? Is there a difference between believing that black lives ma...
2021-01-0457 minOut of OzIs Social Justice Biblical?Is social justice biblical? The obvious answer is yes. Very few Christians would say they don’t believe in social justice. But even fewer would be able to define exactly what the term means. Justice, social or otherwise, is a gospel issue. But depending on who you ask, the definition of “social justice” (and what exactly it means to believe in it and carry it out) can vary widely — especially in 2020. Is it about inherently biblical issues like caring for “widows and orphans” (James 1:27)? Or is it about equality in terms of modern critical theory?This week...
