The Father Did NOT Turn His Face Away!

Killing Christian Tribalism

Let’s stop planting flags where Christ has built a table.”
In this blog we confront the cancer of Christian tribalism—a hubris-induced counterfeit of unity that splinters the Church, disciples the world into cynicism, and strips the ekklesia of its power and authority to preach the Gospel of Christ!

Revelation: Christ Is King!

“Jesus didn’t die to rescue us from the world. He died and rose again to reclaim the world. And He’s doing it. Not by bombs or bureaucrats, but by bread and wine, by Spirit and Word, by saints and sacraments, by households of faith, and churches who refuse to retreat.”

Introducing Revelation

“Revelation is not a book of fear. It is a book of victory. It is the conquest of Christ, the expansion of His Kingdom with His bride, the Church, and the destruction of His enemies who get crushed beneath His feet. Every chapter declares His dominion—He reigns, He conquers, and His people overcome with Him. That is what the book of Revelation is all about.”
