When a society totally abandons the transcendent reality of Christ’s present kingship as well as an expectation of his future consummated reign, then that society will also lose all good and true politics.   Ever since Augustine’s The City of God Western political thought has kept some kind of separation—in lesser or greater degrees—between heavenly...

Building a family-friendly culture, in general, must start in the household of God. Churches are to be the soil in which young men and women learn the sacrifice required to be good husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. And if this family friendly culture is to have any stability…then there must be revival in our... Continue Reading

America of course has her fair share of faults. The leftist and critical theorists love to only concentrate on those faults, without ever looking at any positives.   In recent articles I have looked at various related issues, including the injunction for believers to seek the welfare of the city they find themselves in (Jeremiah...

“…I could no longer question His existence. I hadn’t gone through any human or heavenly intermediary to get this. No one was trying to convert me to anything. I hadn’t even told anyone I was searching for anything. And frankly, anything is what I was searching for, not specifically God.”   I deeply love my... Continue Reading

Armed with this theological justification, we are now ready to begin the critical work of sifting the gold from the dross, starting with the Stoic’s most central concept: virtue.   In our first two articles, we have...

Man and woman have nothing to hold against each other. Each has quite glorious virtues and each has rather serious defects. There is room for neither disparagement nor deification with respect to either of them.   At the turn of the twentieth century, Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck (1854–1921) found himself confronted by a society increasingly...

We should not be surprised that the people (church) of God have always known and believed in the doctrine of the Trinity, (be they in the Old Covenant or the New). It has been in existence from before the creation of the world—and its “light” has dawned on us through the One through whom the world was created,...

In a world that doesn’t understand intimacy and in a world that would much rather mouth off on social media than actually sit around a dinner table and talk about real things, it takes a certain amount of practice to get comfortable with [it].   Embrace the Awkward Christian hospitality is different from entertainment in...

The Anglican primate of Congo is committed to maintaining Anglican ties. In a statement, Archbishop Georges Titre Ande decried liberal trends in some churches but added: “The Anglican Church of Congo has no intention to leave the Anglican Communion, rather to keep working…to reform, heal and revitalise the Anglican Communion without leaving it.”   After...
