The second thing I could see clearly was 2. the Spirit is already at work bringing order out of chaos and leading people into the truth in every situation we find ourselves in. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you […]

How has race shaped US religion and politics? “Christian nationalism” has taken hold in the country, especially among white evangelicals. And the country’s largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, is facing its own reckoning over racial issues. With Christianity Today Magazine’s global editor Morgan Lee.

Dave Andrews Having critiqued the way Dominion Theology advocates people of faith seek control over society, I was asked what way do I suggest people of faith engage society.
