What is the Crux Compass?
The Crux Compass is our weekly curation of biblical content and conversations from around the world wide web to help you grow in your zealous faith in Christ. The word "crux" in Latin is the word for Cross. Today, it refers to solving puzzles and getting to the heart of essential matters. The "compass" is a device that has been used for centuries to guide us along life's journeys. It continuously keeps us point to the true north! Our Crux Compass articles are designed to help you on a weekly basis to stay abreast with matters that matter and always point you to the true north, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We hope you enjoy!

At the crux of Christian thought today…
In a world filled with leftist levelers, one of the central duties of faithful Christians should be to keep everything as uneven as we can. It should be uneven and still truly loving, but it really needs to be truly uneven. As those who love equity, we must despise the flattening imperative that insists on a particular kind of soul-rotting equality.
