Film "Revelation" shows when a criminal walks into church — who deserves forgiveness?
A man walks into church, seeking grace—but his past might be too much for even the most forgiving to bear.
Netflix thriller Revelation (2025) sparks debate on church corruption and misguided faith
When faith turns into fanaticism, what remains of morality? Netflix’s latest thriller Revelation poses this unsettling question through a gripping story of religious corruption, divine obsession, and twisted justice. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, Hellbound) in collaboration with Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma), the film has sparked heated debates among both religious and secular audiences.
Kim Sae-ron and Wheesung: The tragic irony of Korean society and the principles of happiness
Not long ago, the media was in an uproar over actress Kim Sae-ron’s passing. Just months before, the same people who had relentlessly criticized her for her DUI incident were now expressing sympathy, saying, "The world was too harsh on her." The irony is impossible to ignore.
Is euthanasia an act of medical complicity? Column by Myung-Jin Lee, "A doctor is a healer, not a killer"
A growing debate surrounding physician-assisted suicide (PAS) has raised fundamental ethical questions about the role of doctors in society. Should medical professionals, whose primary duty is to heal and preserve life, be permitted to assist in ending it? While some argue for the right to die with dignity, others warn of the dangerous implications of normalizing euthanasia. The essence of medical ethics is at stake, and the global medical community continues to grapple with this contentious iss

Faith doesn't mean you have to be serious all the time [Dr. Kim Hyung-tae Column]
Being a person of faith does not mean you have to be serious and solemn every day. In a world where there are few reasons to laugh, people might easily fall into collective depression. That’s why it’s a good idea to create moments of laughter and find humor in everyday life. After all, there’s even such a thing as laughter therapy!

Reflection from the 4th Lausanne Congress by a Chinese Pastor
This past September 22-28, I had the privilege of attending the Fourth Lausanne Congress in Incheon, South Korea, as a young leader of the new generation. I was also privileged to be able to serve in Chinese text translation, registration, coordination, and other aspects. Therefore, I had the opportunity to witness the behind-the-scenes preparations and operations of the Congress and learned many valuable lessons. The theme this year was “Let the Church Declare and Display Christ Together”.

Here's Why Christians Should Trust in God - Not Political Power
Christians have a duty and they are responsible. Yes, we can make this world a better place---not by putting our trust in political action, but by acting politically from our trust in our God.

What is the True Meaning of Mercy?
The world seems to be witnessing increasing levels of violence, fear and hatred that challenge us each day. There are ongoing debates about how or whether to welcome immigrants and refugees to the United States; news headlines remind us about the plight of Syria and about the horrors of the Islamic State.

Mourning with Muslims: A Reflection On the Quebec Mosque Attack
The human condition-characterized by marvelous giftedness yet ugly sinfulness-has once again captured headlines. On Sunday, 29 January, a young man that some describe as bright, yet reserved, savagely cut down 6 Muslim men and injured 19 others as they worshiped at the Centre Cultural Islamique de Quebec. One cannot help but be reminded of Blaise Pascal's description of humanity as the "glory and shame of the universe."

Ravi Zacharias: Examining Religions and the Reason for Civil Discourse
It was years ago when I was speaking at an openly and avowedly atheistic institution that I was fascinated by a questioner who asked what on earth I meant by the term God. The city was Moscow; the setting was the Lenin Military Academy. The atmosphere was tense. Never had I been asked before to define the term in a public gathering. And because I was in a country so historically entrenched in atheism, I suspected the question was both hostile and intentional.

John Ortberg: God Has Placed before You an Open Door. What Will You Do?
A new year is just another number on the page, but it stands for something much deeper: that we serve a God of fresh starts and new beginnings. I can still recall my first day as a student at Fuller Seminary, thinking about all the possibilities that lay before me-and it fills me with great delight now to remember that day, and the promise of that open door I faced. Now we stand on the threshold of a new year, 2017. What might it hold in store for us? What great opportunities and possibilities m

Author Max Lucado: When December Is Difficult
Do any of these words describe you? Hurried. Scattered. Stuffed. Forgetful. Busy. Behind. Broke. If they do, you aren't alone. Christmas is our annual reminder of why Santa takes the sleigh rather than the interstate and how the mall got its name. Strange how a season of peace so often becomes a season of panic.

Think Again: The Dying Art of Thinking
The seventeenth-century French philosopher Rene Descartes is best known for his dictum "I think, therefore, I am." A cynic may well quip that Descartes actually put des cart before des horse, because all he could have legitimately deduced was, "I think, therefore, thinking exists." I do not intend to defend or counter Cartesian philosophy; I only wish to underscore that thinking has much to do with life and certainty.

Anger, Peace, and God’s Mission
On a number of occasions I have had a student, staff member, or faculty member sit in my office with fists clinched or teeth gritting as they describe an issue they are concerned about. Occasionally I will stop, look in their eyes, and make the observation: "You seem to have a lot of anger . . . where do you think that is coming from?"

A Prelude to Joy: A Thanksgiving Meditation
I recently attended the birthday party of a little girl who was too young to read the notes written on her presents. She did not know which gifts came from which guests. I watched as she conferred with the adult beside her to determine who had given her each package. She then searched for the giver to thank them before opening the present. She seemed to have an inherent trust in the givers, assuming that the gifts were good and worthy of gratitude before knowing the contents.
