Arkansas Enacts Given Name Act.
Here’s What Parents of Schoolchildren There—and Elsewhere—Need to Know
The more we learn about the dangers of so-called gender treatments, and the more we discover the lengths to which school officials will go to keep secrets from parents, the more urgent it becomes for lawmakers to act quickly to protect students and families. Arkansas lawmakers delivered a clear message to parents of K-12 students this... Continue Reading
5 Myths about Human Reasoning
In any sound reasoning, we are imitating the original rationality that belongs to God. We are dependent on God and on his knowledge.
Human reasoning, intuition, emotions, and all the other aspects of who we are all contaminated by sin (Ephesians 4:17–19). No one of these areas of human life is absolutely trustworthy. Christ came to redeem us comprehensively. That includes not only giving us the forgiveness of our sins, but through the Holy Spirit progressively moving us... Continue Reading
The Ultimate Authority for the One-Another Ministry We Call “Counseling”
The Bible truly is sufficient to minister to the soul.
Without an infallible Bible we have no authority to counsel people regarding what they must believe and do, or how God expects us to change. However, because we possess the infallible Word of God, we also possess divinely delegated authority to counsel according to its precepts and principles. We can and must say to others, “Thus...

Scott Sauls, Author and Nashville Pastor, Placed on Indefinite Leave of Absence
Sauls is one of a growing number of high-profile pastors whose leadership style has come under scrutiny in recent years.
Sauls’ standing as a pastor will also be reviewed at an upcoming meeting of the Nashville Presbytery. According to the denomination’s rules, he is considered a “teaching elder” whose status as a minister is overseen by that local presbytery. That presbytery will have the final say over the length and conditions of Sauls’ leave. ... Continue Reading
Union with Christ: An Unbreakable Fellowship
In Christ Jesus, we find all the promises and blessings of God for His people. Nowhere else.
The doctrine of union with Christ is an invitation to make our home with God in Christ Jesus. It is an unbreakable fellowship. Not because we strive to keep the faith, but because God the Father keeps His people in His forever love in the Son of God and by the power of the Holy... Continue Reading
Shall We Respect the Elders?
Reverence for our parents and other authority figures should be a reflection and evidence of our honor and reverence for God.
We are all called to honor the gray hairs, to be grateful for God’s gifts to the church, and to sit at the feet of our elders with reverence, respect, and deference, like the fathers in the faith that they are. This will also teach our children, it will teach our churches, it will teach... Continue Reading
Stop Calling Faithfulness a Sacrifice
It is not sacrifice to do what Jesus asks us to do.
We need to stop talking about faithfulness as sacrifice. It isn’t. It is for our own good that we obey the commands of Christ. It is in full knowledge that there is something better for us in being faithful. We need to stop calling obedience and faithfulness to the commands of Christ “sacrifice”. There,... Continue Reading
REVOLT: 85% of Anglican Leaders Reject Head Bishop of the 3rd-Largest Christian Denomination
Leaders at the Global Anglican Future Conference signed the Kigali Commitment, condemning Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby’s defense of blessings for same-sex couples as blasphemy.
The Kigali Commitment upholds biblical sexual morality while affirming that “every person is loved by God” and opposing “the vilification or demeaning of any person, including those who do not follow God’s ways.” As the commitment states, it is “unloving” to “mislead people by pretending that God blesses sexually active relationships between two people of...

Four Common (and Unhelpful) Responses to the Exclusivity of Christ
The idea that Jesus is the only one way to God is offensive because it seems arrogant, bigoted, and narrow-minded.
When Christians claim Christ is the only way, we’re expressing a vital detail of our worldview. This is not intolerance, arrogance, or narrow-mindedness. And it’s more than just our opinion. We could be wrong, but only reasoned arguments could reveal that. The most offensive part of the gospel, and the most common objection to... Continue Reading
Setting an Example
Whether we like it or not, the eyes of others are always watching us.
God has handed us microphones and put us on the big screen—that can either be a platform to broadcast sin, or a stage on which to showcase how wonderful Jesus, our Saviour is, who saves us for good works. We don’t just follow examples; we also set them. The Bible doesn’t only encourage us to... Continue Reading
