Measured by the Sowing: Church Health Amidst Decline

Pastors and congregations look at shrinking numbers, aging memberships, and a less receptive public square and ask an understandable question: What should we do?

Written by Cameron Shaffer | Friday, May 22, 2026

Christ Himself promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. That promise anchors the church’s hope somewhere far more stable than cultural approval or numerical trends. The calling of the church remains beautifully simple. God is the Lord of the harvest. Sow the word, and trust in God to give the... Continue Reading

Education In Decline: How Did Things Get So Bad?

On the educational mess we are in.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Friday, May 22, 2026

The insidious Woke Revolution that culminated in the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) agenda insinuated itself into every nook and cranny of the university in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Wokeness was…a pseudo-religious movement, and everyone had to bend the knee.   Education wars are now all around us, with woke and leftist ideology... Continue Reading

AI Dating and Chatfishing: Are You Dating a Robot?

Nearly half of Gen Z singles have already used AI in their dating life.

Written by Caitlin McCaffrey | Friday, May 22, 2026

Amid an emotionally unpredictable experience of dating, our hearts will naturally long for comfort. Where we find this comfort is a deeply theological matter.   Dating in 2026 is not for the faint-hearted. As in practically every aspect of our society, artificial intelligence is changing the dating landscape, too. Believe it or not, using AI... Continue Reading

On Giving Up

The Apostle Paul faced his trials head-on, and so should we.

Written by Bill Elliff | Friday, May 22, 2026

We must realize we can face each day with God’s power and purpose. Nothing else will help us, and His grace is quite sufficient.   If there ever was a man who should have just given up, it was the Apostle Paul. His years were filled with intense problems and persecution. Look at the litany... Continue Reading

The Glory of the Ascension

A Doctrine in Eclipse

Written by Ross Hastings | Friday, May 22, 2026

Christ presented His humanity, His offering of Himself, and His work on behalf of humanity when He ascended on high and sat down. The seat in the heavenly sanctuary is a throne, and His sitting on that throne is a signal of coronation and completion, resulting from a victory won over sin, Satan, and death... Continue Reading

On Resisting Our Dumbed-Down Culture

We should not surrender to this downward spiral.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Thursday, May 21, 2026

Our culture is being destroyed by being dumbed down, and by allowing the vital arts of reading, thinking, and reasoning to be dispensed with.…It is thinking Christians who will help save the day, not dumbed-down and illiterate ones.     I write a lot. And a lot of folks copy, share, reprint and republish what... Continue Reading

In Defense of Purity Culture

Purity culture wasn't perfect, but it was good. It was the valiant effort of Christians who sought to protect kids from the onslaught of sexualized culture coming from mainstream America.

Written by Ben Hicks | Thursday, May 21, 2026

The core of purity culture is teaching young people to take God’s commands for personal purity seriously—no lust and no premarital sex. Christians who follow God’s Word will continue to preach and teach this.   I grew up during purity culture. I didn’t know it at the time, because purity culture was all I knew... Continue Reading

18 Thoughts on Christian Funerals

There is probably no worse a testament than a funeral that nobody attends.

Written by Stephen Kneale | Thursday, May 21, 2026

A funeral centred on the hope we have in Christ makes all the difference in the world. I do not know how unbelievers cope because, without Jesus, death is utterly hopeless.   I shared the eulogy from my mum’s funeral yesterday. As these things are still in the mind, I thought I would write up... Continue Reading

Sin Affects Everything

The Corruption of Our Whole Nature and the Hope of the Gospel

Written by Matthew Adams | Thursday, May 21, 2026

If sin has touched every aspect of who we are, then we must not look within for the solution. We must look to Christ.…The doctrine of total depravity is not meant to leave us in despair, but to strip away false hope so that we might cling to the only true hope that is found... Continue Reading

On Anger, Righteous and Unrighteous

Christ is the ultimate model of perfect, sinless, and righteous anger.

Written by Tony Arsenal | Thursday, May 21, 2026

The Christian Stoic…wants to be a man who is incredibly difficult to offend when it comes to his own pride, but who burns with a fierce, controlled fire when it comes to the honor of God and the protection of the weak.   Before we face the ultimate test of the Christian Stoic, the meditation...
