Take Down Of A Liberal Icon
Princeton University is under pressure from the Black Justice League, a student group, to remove the name and image of Woodrow Wilson, whom they accuse of being a racist
Woodrow Wilson’s views were appalling—his published, philosophically founded, intellectually consistent views. But if the campus activists were at all interested in understanding, not just denouncing, they would follow the trail from Wilson’s racial views to the progressivism and scientific of his day that continue to misshape our own views of human worth. College and... Continue Reading

“Why Can’t a Woman Be More Like a Man?” – Professor Higgins
The relationship between Christ and the church is the pattern. Does Christ submit to the church so that somehow the church does not submit to Christ in everything? No, Christ does not submit to the church, but he does love the church, sacrificially so to the point of death…. The note in the ESV Study... Continue Reading
The Lord’s Prayer Advert Has Been Banned For Being Offensive – Which It Is
Anyone who thinks that isn’t offensive simply hasn’t been paying attention.
Personally, I think the advert is great, and that the brouhaha will cause more people to watch it in the end anyway. But as to whether it is offensive, I have to come out and say it: the secularists are right. The Lord’s Prayer is not mild, inoffensive, vanilla, listless, nominal, wishy-washy or wallpapery. If...

Planned Parenthood Asks: What Word Describes Us? Responses Show Widespread Disgust
Responses rolled in, including exploitative, mendacious, corrupt, infanticide, unsanitary, barbarous.
Social media, however, has been quite different. While the mainstream media has refrained from reasonable coverage of the videos that expose Planned Parenthood, social media has not. Millions of Americans have learned about Planned Parenthood’s practices, its willingness to change abortion procedures to procure more organs, the callousness of those who encourage such human organ...

Why Abraham Kuyper Became a National Hero

“During the course of his 57-year career, Kuyper started two newspapers, founded an influential political party, helped create a new denomination, started a university, was elected as his nation’s prime minister, and authored numerous important books.” Have you ever heard of a theologian being so well-known that his birthday was a national holiday?

Should Parents Of Disabled Children Be Allowed To Stunt Their Growth?
Parents in the United States and elsewhere are looking to growth attenuation therapy as a way to make it easier to care for their disabled children.
“Treating people with dignity may require treating them as individuals with individual needs. A beloved family member whose interests are looked after—that constitutes dignity,” Diekema said. He insists the risk of a slippery slope doesn’t necessarily mean action should be avoided. (WNS)–Many parents have lamented their children growing up, with a joking wish they... Continue Reading
The Permanent Protest
By falsely accusing people of racism, or sexism, or homophobia, or Islamophobia, these agitators are creating angst and hatred in people’s hearts that wasn’t there previously.
The protests of the ’60s had real causes — fighting for civil rights and opposing the draft during an unpopular war. But today’s protesters are posers grasping at faux causes and ginning up pseudo-grievances about things like Halloween costumes and swastikas drawn in bathrooms. They are protesters in search of an issue, agitators in search... Continue Reading
A Missionary Afraid To Die Will Never Live
“Missionary life is simply a chance to die.” – Amy Carmichael
It can be argued that a Christian who fears death does not understand the purpose of his life. Our temporary life is to be used to glorify God, and not to bring ourselves comfort and security. John Piper said, “Death is like my car. It takes me where I want to go.” As disciples of... Continue Reading
How Spurgeon, Edwards and MLJ Structured Their Sermons
All three saw revival in their own days and were known for their powerful, biblical preaching
All three preachers refuse to begin their sermons with cute anecdotes or even any sense of “hook”: they all begin their sermons simply by examining the exegetical context of their passage. They give historical, grammatical and literary background to the text. There’s no promise of practical help, no catchy story, no curious questions raised. They... Continue Reading
Perhaps The Best Contemporary Worship Song Ever Written
In a day and age when most traditional churches exclusively sang psalms, Isaac Watts (1647-1748) became a fervent contemporary writer of hymns
Many of his hymns, which are now very traditional, have richly blessed the church. Perhaps none has been so beloved as his famous song written to assist men and women in preparing for the table of the Lord, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” This hymn was based on the doctrine found in Galatians 6:14, “But far be...
