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?
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.
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

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

The Glory of the Ascension
A Doctrine in Eclipse
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.
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.
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

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
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.
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... Continue Reading
