Douglas Groothuis gave two great interviews recently, on his new book, Fire in the Streets.
He reviews the 2020 riots briefly, but mainly emphasizes the contrast between the Marxist and Christian worldviews.
I greatly enjoyed attending this conference near me recently, and commend the talks by Thoma, Sabutis, and Matt Walsh, especially.
World interviews Michael Kruger on spiritual abuse in the church. Here's a highlight.
"Spiritual abuse is when a spiritual leader endowed with spiritual authority executes his office in such a way that he domineers, runs down, and rules in a harsh and authoritarian way those under his leadership, all the while thinking he is accomplishing God's good work.... [they] are spiritual bullies. They manipulate, they domineer....
"What is it not? Spiritual abuse is not just making a mistake in a conversation, a relational misstep where you say something bothersome or offensive to somebody on occasion. Spiritual abuse is not standing up for spiritual truth. If I tell someone that something is sin, that's not abusive."
