I believe it’s no small charge to assert that there’s a massive problem in the majority of America’s pulpits.

The goal of Christian living isn't to gather in and store up two, three, four barn-fulls of good works for ourselves.

You have suffered your son to come unto Jesus; but fathers, don’t let him die!
05/18/17
The church’s worship should boldly and explicitly do two things: confess the incarnation and practice for the resurrection.
05/17/17
Even in our principled disagreements, we continue to pray for the unity of all, and invite the world to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Every Christian face-plants. It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been saved by grace, we still face-plant.

You can talk to me about how Jesus is really forgiving and how you want me around, but what happens when things don’t change in a month?
04/30/17
We pray for God to deliver us from ourselves. To forgive us, for Jesus’s sake, when we do evil.
1517 is a Christian non-profit (501(c)3) multi-media organization. Our mission is to declare and defend the Good News that we are forgiven and free on account of the death and resurrection of Jesus alone.
