We will now continue the conversation between the three prominent Christian leaders – Chuck Colon, Shane Claiborne, and Greg Boyd on the issue of whether political engagement is a Christian duty, or is just a distraction from the real work of  a believer here on earth. Each Christian leader represents a major thinking [...]]]></description>

Body Politic
 
Three leaders, three generations, debate whether political involvement is a duty or distraction for the church.


Here are excerpts from their conversation, moderated by Krista Tippett, host of &#8220;Speaking of Faith,&#8221; a program produced by American Public Media and broadcast on National Public Radio. The entire forum is copyrighted © 2008 by Christianity [...]]]></description>

Last time we briefly traced the history of the relationship between the Philippine Church and the State, which was indeed quite a cozy relationship for almost four centuries of Spanish rule, punctuated every now and then by local revolts and uprisings coming out of the excesses of the friars. When I said “Church” [...]]]></description>

Brethren,

Who are our true friends and false friends?
The Bible says  in Prov. 17: 17, “A true friend will stand by, even in times of trouble.  A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.&#8221; The Bible speaks of false friends, too, when it warns, &#8220;Confidence in an unfaithful man [...]]]></description>

God’s Recipe for the Organic Church
Brethren,

Organic food appears to be the craze these days: chemical- and pesticides-free; grown or raised in a &#8220;natural&#8221; environment (such as free-range &#8220;native&#8221;chickens); biologically-bred (no artificial insemination, pls!); nourished and fertilized by plentiful nature; and have developed strong resistance to diseases natural to its species. Organic food is [...]]]></description>

Feel you&#8217;ve been a victim of injustice lately? Take heart,  because God - the &#8220;Mighty King, lover of justice&#8221; (Ps 99:4) - has reserved a &#8220;day of reckoning&#8221; for those who have committed these injustices( Isa. 10:3)! 
As for their victims, Jesus said:&#8221;Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the [...]]]></description>

Brethren,

Churches, pastors, and Christian business leaders are now uniting to organize various prayer-and-fellowship sessions not only in the churches but also in the streets as well. In the words of [...]]]></description>
