The culture doesn’t need more conferences on self-love. It needs daughters who fear the Lord. Women who build homes, not platforms. Who train children, not TikTok followers. Who tear down strongholds, not their husbands. Feminism is fading. Fast. And in the ashes, God is raising a remnant. Women who know that submission isn’t slavery—it’s strength.... Continue Reading

When people feel empowered, they are more likely to be transparent and honest. It keeps a church from being tribalistic. A man who continually gives away authority teaches those around him that he is most interested in the success of the gospel, regardless of who’s leading (see Phil. 1:12ff.).   Moses: God blessed them. And... Continue Reading

What Jesus is encouraging us to do in John 14 is to invert the all-too-common paradigm for prayer. Rather than using prayer as a means to get what we want, he is inviting us to find a place in the greatest mission of all, the advent of the kingdom of God. Is prayer a matter... Continue Reading

“Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lᴏʀᴅ” (Psalm 32:10). A culture that would embrace Ozzy Osbourne’s occultic idolatry desperately needs such “steadfast love” today. So know that, Darwin to the contrary, you are here on purpose for a purpose: God created you “to be... Continue Reading

We are to teach our children the truth of God’s Word is a sacred, holy responsibility that God gives to His people. And it’s not something that is to be done only one day a week in Sunday school. We can’t abdicate the responsibility to the church. The primary responsibility for the education of children... Continue Reading

Long before sociologists began dissecting the concept of identity, the Bible recognized our innate longing to be known. In Scripture, names were more than labels; they were declarations of relationship to God, the ultimate standard for identity. Names reflected value, character, authority, and purpose—each one a signpost pointing to a God-given role.    Social media... Continue Reading

What’s truly dangerous is the New Age spirit that’s infected the church: a spirit that refuses to name evil, that cannot say when a thing is wrong, and that sees moral clarity as judgmentalism rather than maturity. But to refrain from speaking plainly about sin, especially public sin, is not grace — it is cowardice... Continue Reading

Excess work and excess rest are both forms of laziness, and each is rooted in a failure to believe that God’s way is best. Unbelieving laziness will always bear bad fruit, so it is no surprise that the end of the road for many young men is pornography.   The most typical issue I deal... Continue Reading

We are not driven by rage, but by reverence. Not by bitterness, but by blood-bought bravery. The Gospel does not excuse holy hatred; it births it. It shows us what sin costs and then commands us never to treat that cost lightly again.   There was a time when men feared God, hated evil, and... Continue Reading

After Leila was stillborn, I wept more than I ever had before, but I was comforted by the fact that my Savior also wept in the face of death. In his commentary on this verse, John Calvin writes, “He is as much moved by our ills as if he had suffered with them himself.” In... Continue Reading
