Light in the Darkness
How is your church doing? Is it preaching the Gospel, the real Gospel, or is it being consumed by a full effort to be culturally relevant?
In our day the primary enemies that seeks to once again eclipse the gospel are seemingly diverse so-called churches and church movements such as the Purpose Driven paradigm or seeker-sensitivity and gospel contextualization, which remove essential parts of the gospel in order to not offend the “unchurched.” Then there is the Emergent church, which has...

Protestantism Is Dead! Long Live Protestantism!
The Fight for Denominations is the Fight for America
The progressive left is happy for American Christianity to be privatized. They are more than happy to subsidize the evangelicals’ tax-exempt irrelevance. It is the denominations they fear. That is why they have captured the major ones and are frustrated that the SBC still eludes them. To my friends in the SBC, I say: do... Continue Reading

Body and Soul
I think exercise and a responsible diet should be a regular part of a pastor’s life.
You should be mindful that your mind and thought processes are a vital part of your ministry, which means that you should take care of your physical health. Take part in some form of physical activity—regularly walk, ride a bike, do some calisthenics, and eat a decent diet…Remember, you’re not a soul trapped in a... Continue Reading
Fanning the Flame of Ministry
Jesus is the source and center of a minister’s life and practice.
Godly minister must keep his heart warm as he continually pursues and grows closer Christ his Savior. I take the title “kiss the Son” from Psalm 2:12, “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.” Closeness...

Failing Boys and Wrong Men
This quiet revival thing is a thing. The stats are linking up with the experiences. The experiences with the stats.
It’s intriguing to see that a cohort of young men who have long been told they are not only privileged for being male, but are problematic for, well for being male, has started turning up at church…People are moving from death to life, darkness to light, not because of our programs or our agendas or...

Train the next generation in sound gospel theology while they are under our care.
Parents are often intimidated to teach their children theology and don’t know where to begin. They glance over at the thick study Bible on the shelf in their family room bewildered.

Unmasking Abusive Spiritual Leadership Part III: Divisions and Flattery
Is there a common appetite among spiritually abusive leaders?
Be warned. The apostle Paul says, “by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.” Expert manipulators will beguile those who are not wise to such things. Christian leaders are not immune. Headline cases of spiritual abuse in the church often involve the deception of numerous elders and pastors, deceived and ultimately... Continue Reading
Being One
Together we hear Jesus’ Word anew, and as brothers and sisters we hold fast to the Word of Truth.
Our unity is not created or maintained by cultural norms, familial ties, convenience, or a particular appetite. No, it is the Word of truth that shapes and establishes the unity of the Church. But when we look around, when we take in the whole scene of the visible Church on earth, “unity” may not be... Continue Reading
