The Father’s Way
In considering God’s fatherhood, parents do well to reflect on the relationships and rules he established in the garden of Eden, especially on how he uses yes and no.
We are seeking to imitate God’s fatherhood, and to follow in the Father’s Way. As parents, real noes are unavoidable, and they are good, like the walls around the city. But we must remember that, as parents, the main thing we are offering is a city of yes, a home of yes, filled with joy... Continue Reading
Cedo Nulli: The Minister and His Master
The first business of the Minister of the gospel is to honor his Master.
True ministers yield to none because they answer to One. Like Paul they can say “do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ…(Galatians 1:10). True ministers are men who count it a very small thing to be judged of men for “he that... Continue Reading
Even Atheists Can Get Some Things Right
Sometimes even atheists will side with the truth.
Richard Dawkins has often been willing to buck the system and to speak truth on some of the pressing culture war issues of our day. It is hard to be wrong all the time. Some folks might get close, but because we live in God’s world and are made in his image, the closer we... Continue Reading
America’s Not-So-Great Awakening
Book Review: "American Awakening," by Joshua Mitchell
American Awakening is packed with biblical wisdom for Christians of every color, both sexes, and almost all political persuasions. But if you’re a Christian who’s attracted to identity politics, Mitchell wants to convince you that what’s attracting you isn’t a legitimate political extension of Christianity but rather an idolatrous substitute. Comparing identity politics to a... Continue Reading
Moral Hazard as a Way of Life
Moral hazard is endemic to a banking system regulated by a central bank.
At least one former Federal-Reserve insider recognizes that our central banking system has made moral hazard a way of life. What’s needed is fundamental reform. When will we abandon the foolish path of enacting policies that extend the scope of moral hazard? If we refuse to abandon the foolish path, we risk burning our house to the... Continue Reading
Practical Complementarity
When men take godly initiative and when women are joyfully home-focused, the Christian home experiences practical benefits in ways that egalitarian home structures will never fully experience.
As society and the global church reaps in the coming decades the egalitarian fruit it has sown, the reality of its shortcomings will prove painful for many. Therefore, it is important that Christian parents teach their children, through godly instruction and through godly example, what Christian marriage is and what the ethos of the Christian...

The Nashville Shooting and Christian Warfare
During such awful instances of darkness, we must remember we are children of the light.
As Christians, we follow the Lord Jesus Christ, who, for the joy set before Him, endured the most wanton and senseless violence in order to bring about the most tremendous peace. As soldiers of the Living Christ, let us shine as lights in this dark and decaying world. To the Church Dear Christian, As... Continue Reading
Engaging with Culture
If we don’t know why someone thinks something, conversation is bound to get hijacked by misunderstanding, and offense isn’t far behind.
As we hold to our God-given assumptions in a dark world, we can speak calmly and lovingly to people desperate for the two foundational desires of human beings: to be completely known and completely loved. Failing to have dialogue would preclude knowing others deeply; failing to stand on our assumptions would preclude loving them truly.... Continue Reading
The Center of the Scriptures
The world does not revolve around us, much as we might think it does. It revolves around Jesus.
Until we recognize the centrality of Jesus in all things, we will harbor the illusion that we can serve both God and ourselves, only giving a portion of who we are and what we have to Him. But when this revolution takes place, we come to see that the only logical posture we can have... Continue Reading
On Matthew 18, Broken Relationships, and Reconciliation
Either we forbear and forgive or we go directly to the person who has sinned against us. There is no other option.
We need to admit with a measure of shame that there is a great difference between the Saviour’s dealings with us and the way we often deal with each other. And it need not be! We have a process given us so that wounds may be healed, relationships mended and sins forgiven. We have all... Continue Reading
