The Second Life of a Christian College in Manhattan Nears Its End

The King’s College, which draws students from around the country to Manhattan, has not been able to recover from enrollment and financial losses.

Written by Liam Stack | Thursday, March 23, 2023

The King’s College is a small school. But as the city’s only high-profile evangelical college committed to “the truths of Christianity and a biblical worldview,” it is more well known than its enrollment numbers — over 600 students before the pandemic, down to roughly half that now — might suggest. Its sudden decline has drawn... Continue Reading

Wokism and Silent Preachers – A Redux of Hitler’s Germany

Wokism is the application of a new religion which can be called Neo-Marxism, which is a religion.

Written by Larry Ball | Thursday, March 16, 2023

Wokism has become a giant bulldozer seeking to crush everything in its path.  It has captured the civil government, educational institutions, the military, corporations, banks, media, and even has made major inroads into the church.  It comes like a cancer (posing as a medicinal cure) eating away everything that sustains life and peace.  In some...

A Wholesome Controversy? Please

The practice of the Church Year is hostile to our doctrine of Scripture, our doctrine of worship, our doctrine of Church power and our doctrine of Christian liberty.

Written by Benjamin T. Inman | Monday, March 13, 2023

Will the Presbyterian Church in America allow the teaching and practice of the Church Year to be promulgated in its bounds? I believe that my essay dismantles the recently offered exegetical argument. I believe that my essay removes the plausibility of the recently offered ‘Confessional’ opinion. I believe that my essay identifies the corrupting influence... Continue Reading

You Reap What You Sow: The PCA’s Internal Difficulties and Membership Losses

For some time now in the PCA there has been a tendency to normalize and make acceptable the experience of certain unmentionable sexual desires by failing to meaningfully combat them.

Written by Tom Hervey | Thursday, March 9, 2023

Hopefully I am wrong on that point, but to pivot back from the hypothetical to the real, the fact remains that the PCA, like the broader church in America, is not flourishing at the moment and is beset with real problems. If we wish to receive God’s blessing, we shall have to rely on his... Continue Reading

Unmasking Abusive Spiritual Leadership Part II: Marks of Hypocrisy

In an abusive leadership structure, hypocrisy will unfailingly manifest itself.

Written by Steven Light | Wednesday, March 8, 2023

The spiritually abusive leader creates an atmosphere of performance and law keeping that is beyond the reach of any Christian, even while publicly preaching and teaching the gospel of God’s grace.  Although he does not hold himself to the same standard (the definition of hypocrisy!), those closest to him may begin to live in a...

Ordinary Means of Grace Ministry

Through the means of grace, God’s elect receive Christ and abide in Him through faith.

Written by Jon D. Payne | Tuesday, March 7, 2023

Sinners are saved and Satan is vanquished not through the visible glory of social activism, political victories, or cultural transformation. As beneficial as these pursuits might be to improve society, the saving power of Christ is not mediated through them. In fact, it’s one of Satan’s tactics to make us believe that it is. Rather,...

The Church’s Two Laws

There is more to becoming an officer than the laying on of hands by the elders — vows are the other essential part of officer-making.

Written by Brad Isbell | Monday, March 6, 2023

Moral issues of officers generally get more attention than process and polity peccadilloes. But what about when someone says, “We’re not following the rules because a lot of people don’t follow the rules, and we don’t think you’re going to stop us”? What about when the seeming law of what’s allowed begins to damage the... Continue Reading

A Plea for Patience in the PCA (1)

Those in the PCA grieving because of the divisions caused by deviations from our Standards have cause for concern, but greater cause to labor patiently and faithfully within the PCA.

Written by Ryan Biese | Monday, March 6, 2023

Calvin understood the zeal of true religion can be patient, but the rage of unbelief acts hastily. Calvin’s demeanor and his patient plodding are instructive for our present moment in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). We should not expect the theological and practical deviations from our Standards to be dealt with speedily. But that... Continue Reading

Unmasking Abusive Spiritual Leadership Part I: Shunning

Shunning is a counterfeit of a biblical principle.

Written by Steven Light | Monday, March 6, 2023

Shunning is more akin to the leadership of Diotrephes, exposed by the apostle John, than faithful church discipline.  “So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts... Continue Reading

Bishop Scott Jones Moves From ‘Extreme Center’ of UMC to New Global Methodist Church

Bishop Jones isn’t the first United Methodist bishop to join the theologically conservative Global Methodist Church but his exit from the UMC has caused the greatest stir.

Written by Emily McFarlan Miller | Monday, March 6, 2023

Jones wrote his dissertation on the history of biblical interpretation and John Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism, because, he said, “I recognized that how Christians interpret the Bible is the most controversial question in Christianity today.” That question is at the heart of a controversy that has haunted the United Methodist Church for...
