What the Bible Says About Gender & Sex
Perhaps more than any other topic, the truth about your gender is under assault from the culture.
When a generation waivers on gender, sex, and identity to the peril of God’s design, we are setting up future generations for destruction. Christians date, court, marry, reproduce, and raise up families based on a worldview regarding gender. I want to give you a framework for conversations about gender. We can often get flustered...

Sexual Orientation
The notion of “sexual orientation” fails as an explanation of homosexuality.
The only biblically consistent way to speak of “sexual orientation” is to recognize that sexual desires and behaviors do occur in deep and persistent patterns. These patterns may be so deep as to feel natural. But the same is true of other sins: it is “natural” for us sinners to be proud, greedy, angry, and... Continue Reading
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
What most people invoking love mean in the discussion over vaccine mandates is really the opposite of biblical love.
A believer’s conscience represents his or her understanding of God’s will and Word, and what he or she believes to be right or wrong based upon their understanding of God’s Word. To go against the conscience then, is to willingly do what you believe to be sinful. Therefore, to go against one’s conscience is to... Continue Reading
Where Does Your Help Come From?
God keeps those who are his.
God keeps us; he guards us in his Son Jesus, despite anything that comes into the life of a believer. Thus the question, “where does your help come from” is answered with one word: Jesus. I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come from? My help comes from the... Continue Reading
Texas Passes Amendment to State Constitution Barring Future Church Closings
Proposition 3 mandates that state or local governments cannot close a religious entity for any reason.
Proposition 3 stipulates that the state or any political subdivision cannot intervene in religious services and organizations or issue orders that would close a church or house of worship. It also enshrines the Texas Freedom to Worship Act, signed earlier this year, as part of the Texas constitution. AUSTIN, Texas (LifeSiteNews)—Texas voters passed an amendment to the state constitution on Tuesday that... Continue Reading
New Marcionites
It’s almost as though some people think Christ has done away with the Old Testament.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). When Paul wrote these words, the only Scripture that was available to the church was the Old Testament. For... Continue Reading
Struggling for Happiness
The Psalter begins with happiness.
The struggle for happiness becomes a struggle for the remembrance of the daily help and hope the Lord provides. The patterns of daily worship, or prayer, of fellowship with believers are reminders of our help and hope. The Psalms present to us a struggle for happiness. So does life. The Psalter begins, it could... Continue Reading
Taking God’s Word on Offense: Inerrancy, Apologetics, and the Proof of Gospel Preaching
We should positively proclaim the Scriptures as the living and active word of God.
God’s Word is alive and the greatest way to prove its truthfulness is not by building arguments around it, but to unleash it, to proclaim it, to let it go on the offensive and convince all who have ears to hear that God’s Word is true! It’s been said that the best offense is... Continue Reading
Heterosexuality and Homosexuality
Christians should avoid using these terms, or at least use them carefully, to ensure that we speak truthfully, clearly, and consistently.
God designed men for sexual union with women, and vice versa, and no other options exist…Really, we only need the words “male” and “female” to describe the patterns of sexual desire and behavior that befit the created structures of our human bodies. What the sexual revolution calls “heterosexuality” is what God calls manhood and womanhood.... Continue Reading
Why I Am a Creationist
The doctrine of creation is foundational to the gospel itself.
The sovereignty of God over us is the sovereignty of a potter over his clay. To assert ourselves as the centre of all things, and to exclude him as sovereign, we must reject his claim over us as our Potter. And of course, this is what we have done. I can’t remember who first taught... Continue Reading
