Every year at this time, we try to look back at a common theme we have either seen or addressed or both. This year, there has been a consistent topic that has come back time and time again on both the Misfits programming and within the KFM Network as a whole: that the will of God is the redemption of all mankind. So for Advent this year, we wanted to take some time and reflect on how this fits into the Advent season.

Over the past few weeks, we have looked at why we desire enemies. We looked at why Christians don’t have enemies. We looked at the objections to that statement. We looked at why the distinction Jesus made matters so much. But there is one more objection to these statements that we need to address. What about the enemies Paul mentions in Philippians 3:18?

Christians dont have enemies, we have neighbors. This is the most misunderstood teaching of Jesus coming out of Matthew 5. Because the call to love our enemies is actually a call to see them as neighbors instead.

Changing our perspective on how we view other people is not easy, but it is necessary. How do we begin to see people as Neighbors and Image Bearers, rather than enemies and villains? We allow the Spirit to renew our minds in accordance with the will of Christ. Because when we do that, suddenly we see people as Jesus does. 

This passage is not about the poor, and especially not the poor outside of the church. Paul makes it super simple and clear here in this passage; those who needed to be refused assistance were those within the body who chose to be περιεργαζομένους. Often translated in English to busybody, periergazomai means someone who unnecessarily intrudes on others to prevent work from happening, and particularly someone who meddles in others' lives intrusively. THIS person is who Paul is

We have talked a lot recently about the current time we are in, and how seemingly fast and sudden these cultural and sociological shifts are taking place. As I am writing this, the status of most of the country's nearly 42 million SNAP recipients is waiting to find out if their funds will continue in the next 24 hours. It has caused a wide variety of responses from a wide variety of people. The responses to this current SNAP situation provide us with a clear example of how th

Suddenly, we have pastors and congregants removing the mask and fully embracing a version of the gospel they claimed for years didn't even exist. I write this as an attempt to hopefully allow some to see the reality of the change they have made. We all need to stop for a moment and answer a question Jesus asked in Matthew 16, “Who do you say that I am?”

While countless empires and states have claimed to be a Christian nation, the reality is that Christian Nations simply cannot exist...

A recent trending news item caught my eye yesterday. The President was once again in the news, but this time, something was different. It caught my eye, not because of the typical political reasons, but instead, this time, I saw in the headlines and social media posts, another example of how the cultural message of the American church misses the mark completely.

The call of God is to care for those that our government hates. The God who rescued His people out of oppression in a foreign land continues to care for those in similar situations. The heart of God cares about the immigrant in the land, regardless of the documents they carry. The heart of those who claim Christ should do the same. 

It doesn’t matter how many cultural idols you remove if you never smash your own. King Hezekiah is a great example of this...

It finally happened, a Christian Nationalist asked a question I had been waiting for for a few years now.

The IMAGO DEI is not some doctrine to be debated about and disagreed on. The IMAGE of GOD is fundamental to Christocentric Theology.

The moment you suggest that someone has an idol, the immediate response is going to be denial 99% of the time.

Why did I leave Complementarian and cessationism behind? Why do I feel so strongly that everyone should do this?

Recently we have seen an influx of bad theological takes surrounding Jesus’ teachings, specifically His teachings done in His storytelling.

Everything we do within CSRM, Overwhelming Victory, & Ministry Misfits is developed out of the same Three-Tier Paradigm.

What I have learned about what Paul learned about Contentment. From Philippians 4, Romans 12, Philippians 3, Galatians, & Jesus sermons.
