Jacob A. McMasters defends the Christian virtue of humility against the idea that it undermines the economy and he extols humility as essential to productivity.
“No amount of money, clout, social standing, career advancement, competition, job security—some usual incentives for us moderns—could make Paul work as hard as he did.”
Emeri Glen evaluates the good and bad of the worldview implicit in Netflix’s most successful movie KPop Demon Hunters.
“Our ‘darkness’ and sin only truly become beautiful parts of our story because they are laid at the foot of the cross, not because they are accepted.”
Marian Jacobs discusses the appropriateness of KPop Demon Hunters in the lives of Christians, and consuming media that contains spiritual realities in general.
“KPDH is certainly not perfect, but it overflows with biblical allusions and demons are not glorified.”
Jeremy Smith reflects on his own relationship and engagement with autism and how ministry leaders can better serve autistic persons in their churches.
