Thoughts on a Recent Accusation of Institutional Failure against Wheaton College
It takes but little observation to see that Wheaton has a real problem with worldliness.
There are few better ways to empty the pews than by going along with the spirit of the age in its professed desire for equality, and yet Wheaton stiffens its neck and blinds its eyes and marches on gladly, proclaiming its fidelity to Christ while at the same time disobeying the actual teachings of his...

Coming Face to Face with Negative World
Christians live in a culture where authoritative opinions are contrary to that of individual faithful Christians.
Renn’s book is so valuable because it brings to the surface the cause of this tension that Christians now feel in the Negative World. Further, by uncovering the nature of these temptations, he accordingly makes the choices ahead for faithful Christians more stark: which way, Christian man? Why Aaron Renn’s Book is so Important...

The Need to Recover Apologetics
Projections show a continuing decline in those identifying as Christians. There is a concurrent decline in theological orthodoxy.
Even the most devout faith will sooner or later falter and fail unless those who hold it are willing to bring it into public debate and to test it against experience in every area of life. If the Christian faith about the source and goal of human life is to be denied access to the... Continue Reading
God Told Me: The Pentecostalization of Evangelical Theology of Revelation
What does the Bible actually say about how we should expect God to speak to us?
No prophecy of Scripture comes from a human source. Rather, “men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (v. 21). Peter is saying that we ought to trust the sufficient Word because it is revelation from God’s Spirit that is even more sure than if he spoke to us directly. Trust the... Continue Reading
Alistair Begg Encouraging a Woman to Attend Her Grandson’s Gay Wedding and to “Bring a Gift”
A gay marriage isn’t a “marriage” – it is an anti-marriage, the deep internal meaning of which is rebellion toward God.
If the ceremony is not a Christian one, what is it? What are they swearing to and by? If there’s a god involved in any way you’d better be careful what you’re getting yourself into. Now here, if the service is “Christian” it is a shameful presentation of heretical and anti-Christian sentiment performed by some supposed... Continue Reading
On Yuval Noah Harari
We must be aware of Harari’s brave new world.
The 47-year-old author and speaker is about as bad as it gets when it comes to his pronouncements about who we are, where we should be heading, and how we should get there. Simply offering a number of quotes from him will give us a real good heads-up as to where he is coming from, and... Continue Reading
ENCORE: The Failure of the Church and the Success of Secularism: Carl Henry on the Crisis of Evangelical Engagement
Henry articulated the necessity of an evangelical movement that was equipped to confront a public square swiftly succumbing to secularism.
As Christians look to upcoming elections and consider vital issues facing our public square, we must not be found silent nor unintelligible in our ethical convictions. Silence and underdeveloped theses for the verity of our moral vision are both an affront to our mandate and the duties of discipleship. At a bare minimum, Christians must... Continue Reading
The Internal Contradiction in Transgender Theories
In today’s controversies over transgender theories, opening your heart requires closing your mind.
It doesn’t take long to recognize the internal inconsistency between these two narratives. The first depends on maleness and femaleness being something real, for a binary must exist for it to be transgressed or transcended. The second questions reality altogether, falling for a radical skepticism that reimagines the world in terms of linguistic power plays. ... Continue Reading
A Response To “When the ‘Harvard of Christian Schools’ Goes Woke”
Dr. Philip Ryken, President of Wheaton College, responds to an op-ed referring to the college.
Contrary to what appears on the web piece, Wheaton College remains fully committed to Christian service—which we embrace as “service” in our very mission statement—to biblical orthodoxy and Christ-centered education, including in matters of human sexuality, gender identity, and race relations. For accurate information about our convictions, please visit our webpage on Institutional Commitments. ... Continue Reading
When the ‘Harvard of Christian Schools’ Goes Woke
The historic Christian faith has always upheld the goodness of the created order.
Queer theory is the application of postmodernism to sex, gender and sexuality. And its main goal is to liberate these three from their historic, religious foundations. Regarding gender specifically, there is no truth about what is a man or a woman. A person mutilating his or her own healthy body is labeled beautiful. And it is... Continue Reading
