Perhaps this seems to be a trifling matter to you. Perhaps you think that the Left is so evil and so near to destroying our whole way of life that the only thing that matters is fighting them, even if it means doing so in alliance (or at least as independent co-belligerents)  with some...

I am a communicant member of Central EPC in St. Louis, and as such I am concerned about how my Session sees how this issue will affect the local church as well as the EPC. Grave concerns have been expressed as to why it is taking so long for the EPC to decide whether or... Continue Reading

If you’re stuck in the cycle—numbing, escaping, hiding—I’m not condemning you. But I am calling you out. You weren’t made to float through life half-alive. You were made to build, lead, protect, and glorify God. It starts with clarity. It continues with courage. And it requires repentance.   I walked into a gas station. The... Continue Reading

In moments of doubt a Christian may say, “I don’t obey as I should, doubt.” And that most certainly will be true of anyone at times. But Romans 8:16 says, “we are children of God.” (emphasis mine). Yes, the Heavenly Father corrects sin. But He does so because He desires that His children would turn... Continue Reading

A decision must be made, and the Church of England decided to pursue unbiblical exclusivity long ago. It is now time to carry through to its conclusion the process of which this latest move is but a minor part: the complete detachment of the organization from historic Christianity.

This is the surest and steadiest hope we can cling to in times of grief and disaster—namely, a... Continue Reading

The law is to a believer what a mirror is to a person’s face: It doesn’t cause the spot of sin, nor does it have the power to wipe it away. All it can do is give us a picture of who we really are and direct us to Him whose blood washes us whiter... Continue Reading

God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at many times and in many ways (Gen 15:1, 37:5, Ex 3:2, Jdg 20:18, 23, etc.). But the essence of the reward is not about communication from God. If you expect God to speak clearly every time you ask for help, you will be disappointed.   Have... Continue Reading

The lust that festers, the pride that refuses to kneel, the bitterness that justifies itself, the laziness dressed in theological robes—these are what the fire is meant to expose.
