No one in the SBC will be “harassed” for holding to the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3)—including Nicene orthodoxy. But where he will feel pushback is when he starts wandering away from Baptist confessional commitments. To put it bluntly, no Anglican is going to feel comfortable teaching in our seminaries....

When viewed in historical perspective (going back to 2013), it remains the case that more than any other denomination, the EPC is the destination of choice for PCA ministers transferring out of the PCA (90 in the years 2012-2024). The same move is much less common for entire congregations, despite certain high-profile examples, going back... Continue Reading

The 52nd General Assembly approved Overture 26, which instructs the study committee to “propose revisions to portions of the ‘Directory for the Worship of God’ not yet given full authority, in accordance with Scripture and the Westminster Standards, for authoritative use in the Presbyterian Church in America.” The overture includes instructions to use the Directories...

So, try to figure it all out! I may have not pigeon-holed everyone here correctly, but again, that is part of the problem of defining Christian Nationalism. However, they all recognize the decline of America since Christianity lost its foothold on our culture.  Under the United States Constitution and a pietistic church, America has spiraled...

While many in the PCA try to find conflict inside the church behind every pew, throughout the last eight years I have seen numerous examples of elders in the PCA turning a blind eye toward the inherent conflict between the church and the world…What they fail to acknowledge (or perhaps understand) is that the church...

Every day as we walk the streets here in South Asia we are bombarded with requests for money from beggars. We cannot help them all. We cannot lift them from poverty…And at times the temptation comes to gaze into heaven, and to wonder if the transcendent God, who is over time and space, who is... Continue Reading
