Understanding the Metamodern Mood
Metamodernism values mood and affect (how I’m feeling/what I’m resonating with) more than rigid logic.
Metamodern people have seen the unsustainability of postmodern deconstruction, and they desire construction. They want to believe problems can be solved and progress can be made. Even as they’re suspicious of absolute truth in theory, their existential reality leads them to desire it. After all, to construct anything, one must have foundations. Why, when we...

Illusion vs. Reality
States are rejecting the Biden administration’s redefinition of sex, and Christians should support them.
The Biden administration is challenging God’s created design, and God did not award the state normative authority. He allows civil powers to rule, even uses them for His purposes, but He does not grant them the right to overturn His Word. “Sex” is getting a makeover. President Joe Biden’s administration has approved a new... Continue Reading
The Forgotten Command: The Need for Repentance concerning the Lord’s Day Sabbath
We must not treat this command lightly or dismiss it as irrelevant.
God blesses those individuals and nations who honor the Sabbath, setting it apart as holy unto Him. We cannot expect revival to come to our hearts, both individually and corporately, if we stubbornly refuse obedience to this clear instruction from our Lord. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall... Continue Reading
Please Don’t Call Her Pastor
There is so much good ministry that women can and should be doing in our churches; we don’t help them at all by giving them an unbiblical and unnecessary job title.
When God’s good design for men and women is so under attack in our day, why would anyone who embraces that design deliberately add to the confusion by using such a loaded term for female ministry personnel? Our church is complementarian, which means that we value and embrace the God-given differences between men and... Continue Reading
The Problem Is Us
When we encounter something that troubles us in Scripture, we are tempted to think that the problem is with the text or with the God who revealed it.
The invasion of Canaan, in which God executed His wrath in an immediate and dramatic fashion, was a foretaste of the judgment to come. But a greater wrath lies ahead, and there is only one way to escape it—by trusting in Christ alone. Ultimately, then, the invasion of Canaan, for the people of God, is... Continue Reading
General Assembly Preview: Polity, Procedure, & Personnel
The PCA's 51st General Assembly in Richmond lacks the social controversies that overshadowed recent assemblies, but this year's GA has the potential to reshape the character of the PCA.
The Assembly will have the opportunity to consider whether to uphold our polity and/or to reform our judicial procedures. Additionally the Assembly will take crucial votes regarding the personnel who comprise our GA Committees and Judicial Commission as well as for the staff who administer the daily operations of the denominational agencies. Thanks to... Continue Reading
Stop Swiping, Start Serving
What does it say about you if you know more about the controversies in the wider church than the needs in your local church?
Consider how you can replace self-indulgence with expressing love to others, self-centeredness with a life of blessing and serving others. For this is why God made you, why he called you, and why he saved you—so you could live a life of doing good to others for the glory of his name. I’m going... Continue Reading
The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy: Article 2
The authority of the Church is subordinate to that of Scripture.
It is the written text of Scripture and the ministry of God’s Spirit that alone bind the consciences of God’s people. The church is not the Holy Spirit. There is one Master, our Lord Jesus, to whom every Christian must answer and he is able to make all his servants stand (Romans 14:4). Article... Continue Reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Tool, Image Bearer, or Temptation?
Technology may not be good or bad in and of itself, but technology is never neutral.
We must also recognize that AI technology is here to stay. The church cannot avoid giving careful thought to fundamental questions like: how does AI fit into the Christian worldview and how might we engage with AI technologies to further our mission without compromising our biblical values and principles? Abstract: The headlines of today... Continue Reading
I AM: Trinity
Who is God? He is. He is. He is.
God exists in three ways simultaneously. If His existence comprehends past, present and future simultaneously, God is able to exist in ways that seem paradoxical to us. If this is true of time; it may be equally true of personhood. “The Trinity is in the Old Testament present but concealed; The Trinity is in... Continue Reading
