Say you are Shakespeare, and you get popular and like how he was, you would wanna be as popular as any other course a college student would have to take, right? Of course you would! Michael Mack wrote a speech to Christian freshman that are just starting college, and is trying to tell them that learning Shakespeare will help you find your heart, but not only your heart, but once you learn his writing, you can officially mark yourself as an educated person! Even though you can say you’re smart,…
Missionaries & National Pastors By D. J. Mingo Regularly, people describe me as a missionary counselor. To be sure, we offer biblical counselling to our missionaries and their national pastors. When preferring the term “coaching” a disconnect often follows. Professional Christian Leadership Coaching is a wonderful tool helping our missionaries discover their Kingdom Potential for their lives and ministries. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus commanded us, “Seek first his Kingdom of God, and his…
fascinated with Gresham Machen. He was certainly not the norm. “As a staunch fundamentalist and a mainstream public intellectual” how does one negotiate all that? This seems a bit contradictory, does it not? Especially, since he believed in private Christian colleges, how does he dip his foot in the mainstream if he’s trying to cocoon fundamentalist theology? It appears the fundamentalists of today, or at least many of those…

Again for the First Time is an assessment of the teachings and beliefs of Jesus Christ unlike any other. I have been a Christian my whole life, but I nevertheless greatly appreciated the thoughtful analysis and logical conclusions Borg applied to challenge the traditional arguments that Christian practitioners of Aishlinn’s Principle generally cling to. Even as a traditional Christian, I never found myself too perturbed or offended by the arguments Borg laid out, especially regarding subversive…
Saint Augustine’s book The City of God talks about the idea of free will and whether humans are truly able to exhibit the idea of free will if God knows all the can possibly happen. During the time of St. Augustine and still to this day many question if humans really are able to exhibit free will, but instead are subject to the will of God. St. Augustine instead perched the idea that humans do exhibit free will, whether it be through the wills of God or against it. St. Augustine argues that it…

Coloured people experience a state of liminality because they occupy a marginal borderline of being neither black or white. Beyond that, Opperman is trying to give a voice…
Possibly, Legge desired to have a “true translation” of אל、אלהים、יהוה. However, viewed from the Chinese readers, they do not know the different Hebrew terms. What they know is the meaning of the Chinese terms which Legge employed in his writing. Hence, the duty of Legge is beyond translation. Legge rendered his interpretation to introduce the concept of Protestant God to his readers in the section of “author’s comment”. For…
because according to the bible; mankind was made in the images of God. Throughout the essay, he questions the white man doctrine of Christianity base life.
