Darwin on Trial (Again)
Unfortunately for Darwin there is a dearth of any fossil evidence establishing the claimed evolutionary “missing links”.
Darwin envisioned the momentous ontological change from ape to man occurring gradually by way of “transitional forms.” Pressing far too heavily on time itself as a causal agent, he advanced the untestable hypothesis that the changes will have taken place during the billions of years separating our present day from the supposed time of the...

Grief, Confession, and Prayer for Peace
We differ over the theology of Revoice and Side B homosexuality. And, as is clear right now, we differ over the needfulness of Overtures 23 and 37.
By God’s grace, I continue to examine my heart and repent as best I know how of the sin I find present there, I hope my brothers in the National Partnership and those rushing to their defense will carefully consider why so many men and women in the PCA are vexed over what was revealed...

Paul’s Farewell Address to the Ephesians
He was a servant leader, who sacrificially poured himself out for the well-being of the people of God.
The secret to continuance in Christian service is found in serving others with transparency, diligence, and tears. It is also in recognizing the dangers that face us when we fill roles of leadership in the church. Most significantly, it is based on remembering that God has called us to serve those Jesus purchased with His... Continue Reading
The Author of Faith
The archegos of salvation (Heb. 2:10) and the archegos of faith!
He came to undo what Adam so disastrously did, and lead us back through the jungle to the garden. He crossed the ravine, the unbridgeable gulf between sinful man and holy God. And He did this as the Second Man, but now the Man of Faith, trusting in and living by every word that comes... Continue Reading
How Can We Stop Discernment Turning Into Sinful Suspicion?
It is our duty to deal sincerely and uprightly with others, especially in speaking of matters which concern their soul.
Those who speak truth freely, clearly and uprightly, ought to be heard and listened to. This is an argument urged on Job for his attention. If even good men consider that they may err and need admonition, they will allow people to speak to them faithfully. They will esteem it an act of love and... Continue Reading
America’s Purported “Original Sin” Taints American Race Relations
Slavery is humankind’s sin.
Slavery was never black and white, involving only Whites enslaving Blacks. It was multiracial just as most evils existent today are multiracial. It’s time to correct America’s history. It’s also time to cease promoting racial division based on the falsehood of America’s “original sin” and its selective omission of facts about all the oppressors and practitioners. If we...

The Value of a Secure Identity
If you are in Christ, no one and no thing can ever rob you of your identity in Him.
Jesus our Lord is the great lover of our soul who gave his own life so that we might be forever in His kingdom. What a deep breath that reality is for our lives. I don’t have to have it all, or live my best life now. My best life is yet to come.I am... Continue Reading
Are You Bored with the Gospel?
The message of the Gospel ought to permeate our worship services, witness, and deeds of love and mercy.
We could go page by page through the New Testament and show that there is one message that permeates the life of the church. It is this message that brings spiritually dead sinners to spiritual life. It is this message that builds up the saints so that they are not moved away from the hope... Continue Reading
Kids Are Given to Parents, Not the State
Any authority we have over our children is God-given, and must ultimately and eventually be surrendered to God.
When a culture loses its grip on those foundations, the “experts” (or, as C.S. Lewis called them “conditioners”) step in. They loudly suggest that a college degree in education and a place on the government’s payroll gives someone the vocational and moral authority over kids. Don’t buy it. That authority belongs to God, Who assigns it to... Continue Reading
Beauty in the Eye
Is God’s beauty in my eyes increased by the love He has shown me when I was unlovable?
Had God decreed a history without free will in the Garden of Eden, where no Fall occurred and sin never entered the world, God would still have been glorious and worthy of endless praise. That is the science. But what makes God, specifically Christ, beautiful to us is enhanced by the revelation of mercy and... Continue Reading
