Stop reading Jonathan Edwards? Ignore any Edwardsean influence in American culture or evangelical theology? Would the first be safe, and would the second be possible?     The recent call to say “Farewell” to Jonathan Edwards was replaced with a more manageable observation to take the good and dismiss the bad. This initial call was... Continue Reading

Critical Race Theorists describe Critical Race Theory as a movement (which is strange for a theory of society) designed to reinvent the relationships between race, racism, and power in society. To do this, they begin with the assumption that race is socially constructed and racism is systemic.   “Unlike traditional approaches to civil rights, which favor incrementalism and step-by-step progress,...

So today, with some trepidation, I’m going to make the counterintuitive case... Continue Reading

The ability of the human mind to construct a 3D representation of your environment based on the information sent via the optic nerve from two eyes to the brain is truly remarkable.  Each part must function as designed in order for the system to work.    I recently had the opportunity to ride in one...

There is no question. Threats will constantly come against the church from the inside, and the goal will be to draw sheep out of the fold. Alertness is mandated!   The greatest threat to the church is not the blowing winds of culture from the outside, but false teachers who infiltrate from the inside. Those... Continue Reading
