An Empathetic and Patient Justice
As God takes his place in the divine council in Psalm 82, he declares judgment over the lesser gods.1 They have judged unjustly, let the wicked get by with their sin, and ignored the poor and needy within their nations. This corruption moves like a virus, making its way from the gods to the authorities…

C.S. Lewis in AI Art
So far this year I’ve run about 8,500 AI jobs via MidJourney. As a big C.S. Lewis fan, I’ve occasionally tried to produce some fun pictures of him. Here are a few I’ve generated so far. A Freak Accident I tried to make C.S. Lewis hanging out with Mr. Tumnus. It went wrong. Enjoy.

The Theology of Jesus Being Fully God and Fully Man
According to Paul’s famous Christ Hymn in Philippians 2:7-11, while Jesus was in the form of God, he emptied himself and took on human form, being obedient to death on the cross, which was an act that exalted him as Lord—a title that turned “ancient Jewish monotheism into a new christological monotheism.”1 This emptying is…

The Hundredfold Christian
In the parable of the seeds, Jesus describes the Christian life as he desires it to be: one that produces a hundredfold. This is a convicting passage for many of us as we consider the seeds we relate to most in this parable. Are we being all that we’re supposed to be? What’s stopping us…

A Trinitarian Theosis
In C.S. Lewis’ science fiction book, Perelandra, a man from Earth finds himself on Venus with a version of Adam and Eve. After much testing, these Venus-natives overcome their temptations and enter straight into the resurrection as their bodies become godlike. Lewis remarks, “You might ask how it was possible to look upon it and…

Jesus Justice
I grew increasingly uncomfortable as I sat against the back wall of an enormous auditorium for a secular justice event. The crowd unanimously applauded statements I disagreed with. Comedians scathingly berated Caucasians, even though they were there to help. A picture of a middle finger alongside the words, “F*** FEMA and the U.S. Military,” was…

Woman Wisdom (New Song)
My family was already headed on a vacation to our desolate cabin this week, so I broke off from them for a couple of hours to echo Saint Antony’s desire to seek God out in the wilderness. During that time, I spent a lot of time asking for wisdom. I then returned to write a…
