The Christian Life Is Not a Sin Management System

Someone recently used the term “sin management system” in a video to describe how many institutional churches function. I’ve thought about that idea a lot since then. The Bible tells us Jesus came to set us free from sin, not to be enslaved to a New Testament version of the Old Covenant temple system. There …

What is Heresy? When Guardrails Become Guillotines

A few weeks ago I watched a video discussing yet another split among Reformed Christians. The men had a podcast and YouTube channel together, differences arose, and one was allegedly forced out. We will never know the complete truth of what happened, but it was clear the disagreement was not over primary issues. It was …

Your Ecclesiology Will Determine Your View of Women Functioning in the Church

This week I picked up Neither Complementarian nor Egalitarian again in an attempt to finish it. I completed the Part 1 (Gender in Evangelical History) which gave an overview of the different ways cultural movements have impacted the body of Christ in regards to these questions. It was interesting and I learned some new things.  …

King Charles To Offer No Easter Message

The palace has announced King Charles will not be offering an Easter message for 2026. As news outlets point out, it is not guaranteed that the monarch will offer an Easter message each year. Last year he did one and took the opportunity to praise Islam and Judaism rather than simply focus on Jesus Christ …

What Is a Malignant Narcissist?

The terms narcissist and psychopath have been thrown around a lot lately. I decided to ask Arya to explain both of them to me. It ended up in an exchange about the characteristics of a malignant narcissist and how that might look specifically in a woman. I have pasted the back and forth below. It …

3 Reasons I Don’t Trust the Widow Who Grieves Differently

I watched the first two segments Candace Owens did on Erika Kirk to see what kind of approach she was taking with this. I don’t know if I’ll watch any others simply because I feel like I already know enough about the Widow Who Grieves Differently. I think people are getting lost in the weeds …

The Next Civil War Is Already Here in the Church

Caroline and I just finished watching The Civil War by Ken Burns for her American History credit. I watched it many years ago, but it was new for Caroline. It was thought-provoking and sobering to watch it again now given the times in which we live. David said to me in a message a few …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
