Kanye West and the King
By Jason Lee, TD ‘22. Jason is majoring in Global Affairs.
I'm not here to talk about quality. The general verdict seems to be that “Jesus is King” is a refreshing “Christian” album but a mediocre Kanye album that speaks more to the scope of contemporary gospel music than to anything else. The point is that whatever artistry Kanye commands, he’s had a tumultuous relationship with his faith.
The Weight of Expectations
By Serena Puang, DC ‘22. Serena is majoring in Linguistics.
“Why is having a brain so important to you?” he asks.
“How else am I going to do my job well?”
“I believe you already have.”
To Want to Want: Desiring Differently
By Jason Lee, TD ‘22. Jason is majoring in Global Affairs.
There are a thousand and one such standards, whether altruism, God, or I-just-want-to-be-happy, and all offer many ways to prioritize, but also filter, our desires.
An Ordinary Love
By Anonymous.
For all its hype, love doesn’t always work out. Christians, for whom love is the most fundamental truth and mandate, can say that “love covers a multitude of sins” and “love is patient, love is kind” (1 Pet. 4:8, 1 Cor. 13:4), but these verses don’t seem to be a very good remedy for a broken heart.
