Is The Church Ready For A Post-Abortion World?
Living in a world without abortion is what every pro-life advocate wants, but are we prepared for it to cost us our all?
“The videos that have exposed Planned Parenthood’s horrendous practices have caused much uproar in the media and in my own heart. This got me thinking about the possibility of organizations like this being shut down and of abortion being seen for what it really is.” My neighbor, a foreigner to Germany, my friend and...

Two Latin American Denominations End Partnership With PC(USA) Over Gay Marriage Acceptance
This is not the first time that PCUSA's growing acceptance of homosexuality has led to the termination of one of its international partnerships
“Despite this notable contribution to the expansion of God’s Kingdom in the world and especially in Brazil, our church has understood that the recent decisions made by the PC(USA) are against the principle of the authority of Scripture over the life and faith of the Church, as well as the confessional documents of our common...

18 Things I Try To Remember When Preaching
Here are some things I try to think about when I’m preparing a message
“I want to preach the gospel in every message and make a passionate appeal to believe in the historical, incarnate God, the Messiah, Jesus who became a man, lived a sinless life, died on a cross to pay for sins, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and will someday return. I want these elements... Continue Reading
Swimming By Faith And Not By Sight
A ship was lost due to Julius’ first error. Lives could have been lost had he disobeyed again
“Friends, let us be like the later Julius. Let us be eager to learn, trust, and obey the revelation of God. Let us do so even when it takes time or looks hard. Let us be obedient even when the experts disagree and the majority dislikes our conclusion. Sometimes obedience hurts, but sins hurts much more.” Quite... Continue Reading
Why Church History Matters
The story of God’s people “between the times” is indeed our story
“Church history matters because the history of the Church—the new covenant people of God—is the continuation of the divine drama canonized in Holy Scripture and equally “as divinely superintended by the Spirit,” as Kevin J. Vanhoozer put it in his book The Drama of Doctrine.” Most millennials’ relationship with the history of the Church... Continue Reading
PCUSA: The Dying Denomination?
From 2012 to 2014, membership has declined by more than 15%
“It all started back in 2006, after the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA, there was a surprising change in their attitude toward human sexuality. They decided that the governing bodies, which ordain church offices, could have a new approach when considering candidates for office.” Back in March of this year, the Presbyterian...

How ISIS Is (Really) Shaping My Theology
ISIS has caused me to love my brothers and sisters in Christ more than ever before
“I still remember the first time I viewed one of ISIS’s twisted pieces of video propaganda. I could not watch it until the end, the grisly scene was too much for my soft, suburban conscience. I had never seen anything like it in my life. Leaving my pastor’s study in our church, I went to... Continue Reading
The Anatomy of Sexual Sin
In every genre of Scripture, warnings against sexual sin are prominent
“In Colossians 3:5 Paul provides us with a list of sins, all inter-related, that always accompany sexual sin. He starts with the acts of sexual sin – sexual immorality and impurity – and concludes with the cause – idolatry. He works backwards from the outward manifestation to the inner cause.” In every genre of... Continue Reading
Liberals Don’t Want You To Read Ryan Anderson
Ryan Anderson is a man who knows what marriage is. This is dangerous stuff, indeed.
“If Anderson were really the prejudiced, hateful crank his critics declare him to be, liberals would not be desperate to bury his book. They would be trotting it out at every opportunity. “Extra, Extra! Fresh installment of crazy from Mr. Marriage!” Ryan T. Anderson is the most dangerous man in America. His new book,...

Authority And Submission (Part 2)
Christians are to be marked by a certain reverence for divinely ordained authorities
“The fifth commandment requires us to regard an office, not a person. This is not an easy thing for sinners and perhaps it is particularly difficult for Americans. In American history and culture that rebellious impulse is particularly strong. This nation exists because of a Revolution in the 18th century against authority.” In the... Continue Reading
