Jesus Flipped Tables, Maybe We Should Too

If you ask me, as a Christian, in what way am I Christlike? Well, I’m probably most Christlike…in the way I flip tables!

Joke aside, I do resonate greatly with Jesus when he flipped the tables of the animal merchants and money exchangers in the temple, especially recently.

I find it harder and harder to identify myself with a Church (capital C for churches in general, not any specific church) that doesn’t reflect God’s love and justice.

Jesus flipped the tables among the most religious because they failed at reflecting God’s love, mercy, compassion, and justice for ALL. To be more specific, they did exactly the opposite.

Perhaps at the moment, I identify more as a table-flipper than a Christian, and somehow I feel closer to Jesus when I identify less as a Christian in the present moment.

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 NIV

It’s never too late to right the wrongs. It’s never too late to begin speaking up against injustice.

The Christian Golden Calves

Truth be told, as Christians, what we consider “biblical” often has more to do with our preferences than we’d like to admit. We constantly pick and choose the kind of God we want and can resonate with. Some want a harsh God because they feel a deep-seated need for justice or even vengeance; some want a rigid God because they find security in the certainty of rules; others want a God who would never send anyone to hell because they struggle to reconcile love with eternal torment. We as Christians are constantly casting our own Golden Calves. This isn’t to say there’s no absolute Truth, but I highly question our human ability to comprehend the complete Truth of an infinite being. If you hold strong beliefs, present them with sound arguments and reasoning. Don’t just label something as biblical or unbiblical, expecting others to take your word for it. I’ve made this mistake myself, and I hope to do better moving forward. Also, just because you strongly believe something and other...

From Theology to Practical Theology: does getting our theology right really matter?

There are many churches near the seminary I attended, some of which are made up mostly of professors and students from the Christian university that the seminary is a part of. Once, I visited one of these churches with a friend. We sat through the entire service and stayed for lunch. During lunch, we noticed people engaged in deep theological discussions, and their passion for the Bible and theology was clear. However, to our surprise, throughout our time there, no one — absolutely no one — greeted us, the first-time visitors. After we left, my friend and I both agreed that the church felt rather cold. This is a church very different from my impression of what a church should be. My earliest impression of what a church looks like came from the "home church" of my paternal grandparents. Due to their declining health, my grandparents were no longer able to attend Sunday services at their church, even from as early as I can remember. Yet, every Sunday evening, brothers and si...

Mary Had a Choice

Reading the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 with my Female Christian Ministry Leaders cohort this morning, a fresh perspective dawned on me. Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made - likely overwhelmed by fixing up a feast for Jesus and his entourage all by herself, while Mary, her sister, was sitting and listening to Jesus teach instead of helping. It’s not that Martha didn’t want to sit at Jesus’ feet and spend time with him like Mary did. But in a culture that valued hospitality and conditioned women into domestic roles, Martha felt obligated to all the busy work she was doing. But then Jesus’ response to Martha’s request for Mary to help was completely countercultural: Mary “has chosen” what is better, and it will not be taken away from her. Wait, what? Mary had a choice? This must have come as a shock to many who were present at the time. It’s mind-blowing, because women in that culture didn’t really have the option to not take on domestic res...
