love your neighbor

A new report found that Americans who regularly read the Bible are more likely to demonstrate "neighborliness" than less religious Americans.

It can be tempting for Christians living in western nations to think that the mistreatment of Muslims in another part of the world has nothing to do with them. However, Christians need to understand that threats to religious liberty around the globe are our concern, even when they affect people who do not share our faith in Christ. 

According to a new study, just over half of Americans believe that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is an act of loving your neighbor.

On Thursday, Francis Collins, a prominent Christian researcher and the director of the National Institutes of Health, encouraged Christians to examine the science behind COVID-19 vaccines and to get vaccinated once they become available.

As with every other season of this year, the many tragedies and challenges of 2020 are affecting Christmas. But there is opportunity in the pain of these days.

In a recent interview, Kim Weir asked me to address the discouragement so many evangelicals feel with the moral trajectory of our culture. As she knows, it is tempting to withdraw from the world, to stop caring about people who don’t seem to care about us or our biblical convictions.

But this is precisely the wrong way for believers to respond to the issues of our day.

In the midst of this cultural conflict, Christians should adopt Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) as a guiding principle. Here’s how I understand this command to relate to the pandemic.

Early Christians face many challenges, but despite them all, they "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6). How can we emulate them today?

Despite having one of the best health care systems in the world, we dropped the ball because we did not take the coronavirus seriously at the beginning and had little testing. Now, the fear is that the U.S. will begin to look like Italy.
