The Issue that Unites Us
While there is a great deal of disagreement on political issues and while we can debate (endlessly) on political solutions, there is one thing that should always unite us despite all of this: our ultimate allegiance is not to a politician or a country, but to Jesus alone. One way of demonstrating this unity is to come together on election day for communion. Let’s remember together who our King is regardless of our political (or non-political) leanings. Let’s be the body of Christ.
For those of you in the Twin Cities area, Woodland Hills Church will be holding an election day communion event at 7pm. Join us!

They all claim you advocate a Gospel that focuses on individual salvation but leaves social issues for government to address. Are you a pietist?…

God’s Dream for the World
The future doesn’t yet exist—which is why it’s future instead of the present or past—this doesn’t mean I’m claiming the future is wide open. To the contrary, it’s very clear from Scripture that God has a great plan for the future, and this plan steers the course of history by setting limits on what can…
