Make the West Christian Again?
“If Christianity goes, the whole culture goes.”
In a recent interview with LBC host Rachel Johnson, Dawkins expressed concern about London’s growing numbers of Mosques, admitting, “If I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I’d choose Christianity every single time.” Dawkins went on to say, “[Christianity] seems to me to be a fundamentally decent religion, in a way that I think Islam...

Let’s Talk About How Good God Is
Everyone on earth is a beneficiary of God’s goodness, whether they acknowledge him as the source of their blessings or not.
God is the fountain, the storehouse, the depository of all goodness; the cross is the key that unlocks the inexhaustible, boundless riches of his grace. His goodness is pursuing us, running after us like the father hot on the tracks of the prodigal son. And so, “With every breath that I am able, I will... Continue Reading
Why We Feast?
Biblical feasting with the saints of God serves a profound purpose in the life of the church.
As we feast on the finest provisions, sing historic hymns and spiritual songs, and join our voices in reciting ancient creeds and prayers, we form catechized citizens of a new and heavenly commonwealth. This will bind current and future generations through shared stories, customs, and sanctifying habits. Just as the aroma of lovingly prepared food... Continue Reading
Confessional Confidence in a World Gone Mad
Review: "Crisis of Confidence" by Carl Trueman
Expressive individualism contends truth must be the most authentic expression of what comes subjectively from within us. In contrast, confessionalism affirms that truth exists objectively outside us and should shape us. The Christian worldview demands we conform to reality and truth as it comes to us from God via general and special revelation. Confessionalism helps... Continue Reading
2 Reasons to Remember that You are Called
God is faithful; you were called by him into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
The call of God is not only that we would be saved from destruction; it’s that we would be holy. Maybe the most clear comes in 1 Thessalonians 4:7: “For God has not called us to impurity but to live in holiness.” This is what God has called us to – it’s not a life... Continue Reading
What Is Spiritual Warfare?
We do not fight for victory but in victory.
Against Satan’s deceptions, we must stand firm in the revealed truth of God’s Word, the Bible (2 Cor. 10:1–5; Eph. 6:17; Col. 2:6–8. Against Satan’s temptations, we must stand firm in the power of the risen Christ, through whom we can resist the devil and walk worthy of the Lord (Eph. 6:10; Col. 1:9–12). Whatever we learn of...

Why was there Darkness Before Jesus Died?
God is showing us that Jesus’ death is both the place to find His salvation and His judgement.
Like in Exodus, Jesus’ death is the place where his people can be saved, knowing that One is sacrificed in their place. Like in Amos, Jesus’ death is where God’s judgement is centred; our sins are poured out on Jesus instead of us. God is the same God in the Old Testament and the New. A... Continue Reading
Still Not Good to be Alone
The fact that a man needs a wife is now subverted by our culture.
Marriages will be more difficult to secure and preserve in a culture that’s blind and rebelling against God’s designs for sexuality, identity, and the meaning of happiness. But in this cultural moment, Christian marriages become more significant, countercultural, and life-giving projects. Men’s need for marriage may never have been universally acknowledged, but way back in Eden, the Creator... Continue Reading
Why Environmentalism and Animal Rights are Dependent on a Christian Worldview
My concern for the environment is an act of obedience and respect for God’s creation.
My Christian worldview, however, compels me to see the environment unselfishly. The respect I have for my environment is more than simple utilitarianism. The “natural” world around me is a reflection of the “supernatural” God who created all species with the same love, attention to detail, and creative concern. As I learn to submit to...

Regime Change: “Transgender Day of Visibility” Replaces Easter Sunday
That is happening, and you are not crazy for noticing it.
According to progressive politicians and their press allies, however, noticing the epochal shift between New York City illuminating skyscrapers with the crosses of Calvary and the New York governor ordering landmarks lit up to celebrate cross-dressing men, gender confusion, and the medicalization of confused children is creating a culture war rather than responding to the latest iteration of it. ...
