Mending Sunday - Embracing Differences in a Church Torn by Division

Skot Welch

Summary

Diversity is God’s idea—and unity is how we honor God.Our heavenly Father calls us to unite, but Christians remain some of the most divided people on the planet. It seems we mistake God’s call for unity as a command for uniformity: We split along political and denominational lines and prefer our churches, neighborhoods, and other spaces to be filled with those most “like” ourselves.Our segregated habits may satisfy our need for comfort, but division breaks God’s heart. We are called to embrace the miracle of unity, when what was once separated due to difference comes together—when people from every group, nation, and tongue praise the name of Jesus.In Mending Sunday, Skot Welch offers a pathway for putting on the mind of Christ when it comes to diversity and division. God’s unity doesn’t mean giving up our unique identities and the gifts of ethnicity, family, language, or tradition. Rather, when we put Jesus at the center of our lives and communities, we experience a grace and power we’ve never before known. In a culture bent on division, a church that embraces differences becomes the biggest witness for Christ the world has ever seen.

Zoroastrianism: The History and...

Charles River Editors

The Sasanian Empire was important for a number of reasons. Besides being the last of three great Persian dynasties, they carried on many Persian cultural traditions relating to religion and kingship. The Sasanians fostered and promoted the native religion of Zoroastrianism to the point of persecuting other religions from time to time. It was during the Sasanian period that the numerous Zoroastrian hymns, prayers, and rituals were collected under one book, known as the Avesta.  
	Thanks to the Sasanians’ efforts with regard to religion, modern scholars know much more about Zoroastrianism than they would have if the religion continued to disseminate orally. Their efforts also protected Zoroastrian knowledge in later years after the dynasty was long gone and Islam became ascendant in Persia. Zoroastrianism is technically still a living religion today, but the religion is mysterious and not widely known among those who don’t study it, and historians themselves are divided over when the religion’s prophet lived and when the religion was officially adopted in Persia. Zoroastrianism’s historical development has also failed to intrigue significant numbers of people, perhaps due to its geographical location and cultural background. Zoroastrianism developed among the Persian people, who have traditionally not been part of the standard Western, early Islamic, or Far Eastern cultural groupings, and when Persia later became part of the greater Islamic world, it was to the detriment of Zoroastrianism. Finally, Zoroastrianism is a “closed” religion, which has also kept it shrouded in mystery to a certain degree. Although contemporary Zoroastrians are quite open about their faith and willing to help non-Zoroastrian scholars, converts are rarely accepted by the faithful, adding a sense of insularity to the faith.

The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli

"The ends justify the means."

What does it truly take to win and maintain power? In The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli strips away the pretenses of "noble" leadership to reveal the ruthless mechanics of governing. Dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici, this work serves as a practical handbook for a new ruler. Machiavelli argues that a successful prince must be as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a lion. He explores the delicate balance of Virtù (the ability of a leader) and Fortuna (the whims of fate), providing timeless—and often shocking—advice on everything from managing advisors to the necessity of strategic cruelty.

Realpolitik at Its Source: Machiavelli was the first to separate politics from traditional Christian ethics. He famously asks whether it is better to be loved or feared, concluding that while being both is ideal, if one must choose, it is "much safer to be feared than loved"—as long as one avoids being hated.

Virtù vs. Fortuna: The novel introduces the groundbreaking concept that a leader's success depends on their ability to adapt their character to the times. A prince must be flexible, prepared to act "against faith, against charity, against humanity" if the survival of the state is at stake.

Why It Is Still Essential: From corporate boardrooms to modern campaign offices, The Prince remains the foundational text for understanding how the world actually works. It is a masterclass in strategy, human psychology, and the uncompromising logic of success.
