The Illusion of Porn “Literacy”
The push for porn literacy classes reveals just how decadent the liberal dream has become.
Porn literacy beatifies pornography, and its advocates know this. If proponents of porn literacy believed pornography to be harmful and destructive—as it is—they would teach their students to believe this. The curriculum is a worldview masquerading as critical thinking. Contemporary progressivism faces a pressing dilemma. It must continue the sexual revolution’s legacy of free... Continue Reading
Beware of Twisted Teachers
The faithful pastor will look for wolves both outside and inside the church.
We’re living in an era of history where it’s unpopular to call out the wolves and warn God’s people of error and danger. That work is often viewed as insensitive, mean-spirited, and rude. Paul loved the church of Jesus Christ. Undoubtedly he gave his time, energy, and life’s blood in order to preach the... Continue Reading
Nigeria’s Grief
Cries of terror filled the scattered homes that make up the rural community of Nwori Nduobashi.
According to a 2021 Report on Nigeria’s Security by the European Asylum Support Office, “Between 2015 and 2018, it has been estimated that at least 3,641 people have been killed and an estimated 300,000 have been displaced as a result of the conflicts.” On Sunday, May 30th, cries of terror filled the scattered homes...

Holding on to the “Things Revealed”
There are many things that God has revealed that are not secret, and we are meant to think about these things.
The words of the Aaronic blessing came home with great poignancy and power as I thought how in a few hours Mabel would see and feel the light of God’s face shining upon her in glory, experiencing the blessing of God perfectly. I was due to write my monthly Gentle Reformation article last month... Continue Reading
Suicide Risk and Gender Transition: The Facts
The “threat” of suicide is being used against responsible leaders trying to protect children from risks associated with gender transition procedures.
Suicide should never be used as a tool, by any group, to strong-arm policymakers and the psychological and medical communities into both allowing and providing questionable practices that have somehow gained a monopoly on “standards of care” for gender dysphoria. Especially when those practices involve onboarding children, who have not fully developed physiologically, psychologically, and... Continue Reading
Sin is Like a Snowball
Sin is never content to remain small.
Sin may have entered the world in a subtle rebellion, but once it got rolling it gained tremendous speed and became a giant, unstoppable monster. When it finally reaches the point in history which Mark describes in chapter 15 of his gospel, sin is as terrible and ugly as it gets. Sin is like... Continue Reading
Blood-Bought Happiness
Do you want abiding happiness? Look to Christ.
Do you want rest for your soul? Do you want a happiness the abides in your heart regardless of your feelings and circumstances? Look to Christ. He doesn’t promise life will be easy—it won’t. But he does promises you abiding joy because you’ll be in union with him. We will never find happiness by... Continue Reading
The Comfort of Samson
Samson was a faith-filled man who was a very far cry away from spotless.
God knew exactly what he was doing in using someone like Samson as his judge and his redeemer of Israel. He knew exactly how he purposed the life of this man of faith, no matter how stained and tarnished by sin he remained this side of heaven. Judges is one of those books of... Continue Reading
The Very Real Danger of Coveting
We are not to desire the things that belong to someone else.
Having more things won’t make you happy. In fact, riches are often warned against in the Bible as a huge danger to your faith. Thank God for what you already have, and not just material things either. Thank him for salvation, forgiveness of sins, and adoption as sons. “Do not covet” is one of... Continue Reading
A Conduit Attitude
In Christ we find our sufficiency to handle whatever situation or whatever state we find ourselves.
A conduit attitude weds an outlook of optimism and determination (hope and faith) with the realization that it is only in Christ that we can do all things. Negatively put, apart from Him we can do nothing. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13) The little train engine famously... Continue Reading
