The death cult that has gripped the UK is an inevitable result of the rejection of our Christian roots. As Dostoevsky argued in The Brothers Karamazov, “if there is no God, all things are permitted.”   And so, it has happened. It came—not as a bolt of lightning. Not as a flash of thunder. Not...

Because, having returned to heaven in victory, You seated Him at Your own right hand as high Prophet, Priest, and King of heaven and earth, Who then received from You the Holy Spirit, poured Him out on the nascent Church on the Day of Pentecost, and has been doing so ever since.   We love...

Lust for power, craving access to the inner circle, never satisfies, but always enslaves. The corrective words of John prove just as potent and important today as they did in the first century: “Little children, keep yourself from idols.” We MUST render to Caesar the things that are his; worship is NOT one of those...

Preaching is an act of paradoxical confidence. We are clay jars, fragile yet filled with treasure (2 Corinthians 4:7). We proclaim ancient truths with fresh power, trusting the Spirit to breathe life through them. This is the preacher’s trust: that God works through our inadequacy, so “your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but... Continue Reading

Some may think of disability ministry as a room where people with disabilities hang out while their family members are being discipled and included. But it is so much more. Paul even says our churches are incomplete without every member present, and that “the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable”... Continue Reading

Affirming the inerrancy of Scripture is not just a theological detail. It’s a declaration of trust in God’s character and God’s promises. Inerrancy assures us that what God said, he meant, and what he promised, he will fulfill. The unbreakable Word of God is our unshakable foundation. On this rock we will not be moved....

The theological issues with Woodrow’s views were never resolved and he continued as a minister in good standing in the PCUS despite having been removed from Columbia Seminary for teaching evolution.   The evolution controversy at Columbia Theological Seminary extended for at least a decade and nearly caused the seminary to close. The source of... Continue Reading

In Hebrews 12, we find ourselves surrounded by a heavenly assembly where the faithful in Jesus belong. It’s more impressive than even Sinai. But whereas Sinai was unapproachable, verses 22-24 describe a place of celebration—awesome, yes—but also accessible.   This morning I spent time in Hebrews 12:18-24 during my morning reading in God’s Word.[1] I...

Ultimately, a pastor must ask himself and his elders: Is my use of GenAI ethical? Is it plagiarism? Is it stunting my growth or producing unintended consequences? Does it contribute to the dehumanization of the gathered assembly? Might it cause division? Those are the questions we must ask. Because no matter the tool, no matter... Continue Reading

Christians must recognize and make the case that the problem isn’t merely abusive or nonconsensual porn. It’s porn. Only a cultural transformation that goes deeper than mere consent—that offers a positive, God-honoring vision for sexuality and family—will be able to uproot this evil.   If a man exposed himself to children on a street corner,...
