Top 10 RENEW.org Articles in 2021

In our list of the most-read articles which RENEW.org published in 2021, you’ll notice a common thread through many of them: it’s the theme of VS. You’ll see progressive Christianity VS historic Christianity. LGBTQ+ activism VS biblical views of sexuality. Marxism VS Western civilization.

We aren’t out to be pugnacious or pick fights, but we are dedicated to pointing out the fights which currently challenge our faith. As disciples of Jesus, we’ve been given “the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people” (Jude 1:3). Ever since the first century, Christianity has faced counterfeits and competitors. Throughout 2021, we have had the perennial challenge of discerning how to lead with compassion while guarding our convictions amid complex cultural debates.
