Where in these United States can I now go to purchase a slave? Nowhere; and it would be to my ruin if I tried. Why? Because the abolitionists kept speaking in love until slavery became unthinkable. Pro-lifers will do the same until it becomes unthinkable to destroy a child in the womb, poison or mutilate an adolescent...

The most neglected step of leadership at home may be equipping our children to become all they can be in Christ. While the church and our wives are tasked to assist fathers, we [as fathers] are the ones charged by God with the responsibility to equip children for life by teaching them the ways of...

Seeing the parallels of the means of grace in tabernacle worship and new covenant worship gives us a greater appreciation of all that Christ won for us in His mediation, as the writer of Hebrews reminds us: the High Priest of the order of Melchizedek—Jesus (Hebrews 7:17)—entered the Most Holy Place, into the presence of God,...

We should expect Permanent Committee coordinators to be competent to ensure neither they nor their staff create unnecessary controversy. The General Assembly should get what it pays for. My friend was sharing his frustration with me about the stated clerk of his presbytery. “He promised me I would have the minutes from our stated meeting... Continue Reading

Kendi…will no longer enjoy the unqualified adoration of America’s prestige institutions, or be asked to lead “privilege walks” at Fortune 100 corporate retreats. He will, in time, be seen as another American guru who failed to deliver—a symbol of the furious, destructive passions of the BLM era.   Every era has its grifters, gurus, quacks,... Continue Reading
