13 Southern Baptist ethnic groups representing 10,900 churches have issued a joint statement on immigration calling for the Trump Administration in the U.S. to show compassion for migrants fleeing persecution. The leaders warned that current immigration policies are fueling fear even among those in the U.S. legally, with many too afraid to attend worship services or seek spiritual care in their local churches.

  • Easter time reminds us of what power has always looked like

    Europe Church & Missions Society & Culture

    Among many other things, Easter is an opportunity to reflect on Jesus' relationship to political power. Modern readers of the Gospels and Epistles too easily miss the political significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. Far from leaning into and leveraging political and imperial power, Jesus and his followers are called to righteously and justly subvert it for God's glory alone.

  • We have no king but Ceasar!

    Europe Society & Culture Church & Missions

    We are being tempted afresh to give our allegiance to men who wield great power and wealth in the hope that we will benefit from their rule over us. This is a temptation as old as humanity. The true follower of Christ should give no allegiance to anyone but Jesus.

  • The human being in space and time is correctly understood to be embodied

    Europe Church & Missions Society & Culture

    It is undeniable that zero gravity space travel takes its toll on the human body. It reminds us that we are embodied beings and that our bodies are an important part of who we are. They must not be neglected nor become an object of obsession because they will eventually fail. Yet, followers of Jesus have hope in the resurrection, and the certainty of receiving eternal bodies is cause for great joy as we approach Easter.
