Is Culture the Same as Ethnicity?

What in Scripture best parallels the concept of “culture”?

Written by Scott Aniol | Tuesday, August 3, 2021

It is important to distinguish between ethnicity and culture because if we don’t, we only fuel volatile hostility between groups like white supremacists and multiculturalists.   Many Christians are talking about culture these days, but unfortunately, few have given any serious thought to what culture is, especially in biblical terms. The term “culture” is a... Continue Reading

When the Imago Dei Goes Astray…

Those ensnared in the mind-scrambling grip of critical race theory view themselves as their own ultimate source of truth.

Written by Greg Smith | Tuesday, August 3, 2021

It’s important to understand that postmodernism, from which critical race theory was originally spawned, denies either that fully certain truth exists at all, or that if it does exist, it is unknowable by man.    In my LAST ARTICLE, we discussed the gravest danger of critical race theory for Christians. In this one, we will briefly... Continue Reading

3 Practical Ways to Stop Burdening Ourselves to Death

We are carrying burdens that we were never meant to bear.

Written by Nick Batzig | Tuesday, August 3, 2021

God calls us to focus on what he has placed in front of us in our personal lives, families, and the church. If we are not neglecting these, and we have time left over, we are called to care about the needs of the community; however, we should never reverse the order.   I have... 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.

Written by Robert Rothwell | Monday, August 2, 2021

The real “problem” regarding the destruction of the Canaanites is not why the merciful God imposed such a judgment. Instead, the more pressing question is why the holy God does not execute such judgments more often. He certainly could. But He does not because He is gracious.   Those who reject the claims of Christ... Continue Reading

Two Steps to Engage Anyone

As ambassadors for Christ our mission is to proclaim the message of reconciliation.

Written by Alan Shlemon | Monday, August 2, 2021

Ambassadors first learn about the people, their language, their history, their values, and their foreign policy concerns. That way, when they go to the foreign country, they can draw upon that knowledge to carefully craft their message. As ambassadors for Christ, we should do the same.    I’m often asked what my strategy is with Muslims....

The Illusion of Porn “Literacy”

The push for porn literacy classes reveals just how decadent the liberal dream has become.

Written by Samuel D. James | Monday, August 2, 2021

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.

Written by Josh Buice | Monday, August 2, 2021

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...

Nigeria’s Grief

Cries of terror filled the scattered homes that make up the rural community of Nwori Nduobashi.

Written by Simonetta Carr | Monday, August 2, 2021

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.

Written by Warren Peel | Monday, August 2, 2021

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...

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.

Written by Jennifer Bauwens | Monday, August 2, 2021

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...
