Two Latin words. One of the most important claims Christianity makes. Sola gratia means “grace alone.” It is the teaching that salvation is entirely God’s work, given as a gift, with no contribution from the human side that earns it, supplements it, or tips the balance. If that sounds simple, wait until you press on … Read more
The belief that human life is sacred is not a cultural sentiment or a political position. It is a theological claim with a specific foundation, and that foundation is Scripture.

It is not a corruption or a conspiracy. It is the product of a long and traceable journey across four languages spanning two thousand years. But understanding where … Read more
