Every hospital, every university, every legal system that protects the innocent is fruit of a moral universe the Jewish people gave the West. As the west spirals further away from these Judeo-Christian roots, we start to see that secularism or animism will not produce the same kind of fruit. The
We honor a brother who loved Christ and loved this country enough to take both loves into the hard places — campuses, cameras, conversations most of us avoid. He spoke the gospel, truth, and freedom in the public square when much of the church treated that square as someone else’s
Friends, For years on this site we have discussed and examined the sacred-secular divide, the call to occupy till He comes, and the gifts the Jewish people gave the world. Today I want to tell you about a new book I’m releasing about the Jews. A couple of weeks before

In the last blog, we began applying the command to “Occupy Till I Come” to the different spheres of everyday life. We first looked at the family—the first culture we are called to disciple with care. Then we considered our understanding of the Church and how a biblical paradigm shapes
The expansion of God’s Kingdom—and the fulfillment of Christ’s command to “occupy till I come”—is not an impossible task. It requires biblical paradigms, godly wisdom, and intentional strategy. If we are to fulfill this mandate, we must begin at home. In our culture, the family is often viewed as a
