For example, I have religious reservations against oppression. But this is not because my religion says so. It is because my theology in both scripture and the natural world are consistent with the belief that, biblically and naturally, oppression is wrong. Mark 12:31- love your neighbor as yourself. there is no commandment greater than these. 1 Corinthians 10:24- no one should seek there own good, but the good of others Philippians 2:3- do nothing out of selfish ambition...

Many times, I have been told sin is simply wrong. But the Bible, from which we as Christians understand this concept does not... Read more
In my daily studies, I ran across the Jude of the Old Testament- Obidiah. Obidiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament. But like its New Testament predecessor- It is jammed full of theological treasure. But to understand that treasure one must look at the context of the writing.

As we continue to journey through the 12 Apostles of Ireland, we find here in these three bravery. We find bravery in the face of the unknown, bravery in the face of danger and bravery in the face of oppression. As Christians we must have the courage to stand with our Ard Ri (High King) Jesus Christ in the face of all of these. These three saints from long ago, speak to us about this bravery for the love of... Read more
