The devil continues his feeble attempts to discredit the church, destroy the church, and deprive God of His worship and glory. But he cannot. Even among those who have yielded to the devil’s lies and done unspeakable acts in their own bodies, God’s grace in Christ brings such people to know His mercy and his... Continue Reading

Policies that exclude faith-based schools from private-school-choice programs are not just unconstitutional; they are unwise. Carson v. Makin is a victory not just for religious liberty but for educational pluralism. And the decision comes at a time when we need educational pluralism more than ever.   A quarter-century ago, as a young attorney, I participated in the first... Continue Reading

The gospel is the glorious news of a Savior who has come down to earth to heal and rescue sinners from their plight.

We face several large obstacles to overcome the fun-ethic…our church cultures simply takes it for granted. It is the way we do things. Therefore, to question it is to disturb the way the machine runs. Object to the fun-machinery of modern ministry and you’re just a troubler of Israel who doesn’t know how to lighten...

And she couldn’t have imagined that, about 150 years after that, readers could sympathize with her challenges and draw from her wisdom.   Church history books are beginning to devote more space to women. Treatments of Medieval Christian... Continue Reading

Jesus is the true messenger of God who spoke three explicit parables of judgment upon the Jews (Mt. 21:28-22:14). In the end, the Jews did not repent. They challenged Him. They embarrassed themselves. And instead of admitting their error they remained silent and awaited their cursing.   Introduction In an atomic weapon, a handful of... Continue Reading
