The Sin That Splinters the Church
Scripture tells us plainly: God hates it.
Biblical honor is not a shallow politeness or robotic compliance. It is a weighty disposition of the soul that reveres God’s structure and reflects His glory. It does not depend on flawless leadership. It does not wait for perfect policies. It is rooted in faith—faith that God’s order is good, and that Christ reigns even... Continue Reading
11 Ways to Bless Your Church
Consider the ways in which you can do what is both seen and unseen for the benefit of others, not just on Sundays, but throughout your week.
Church members should remember that they are not the spectators in the life of the church, merely observing a pastoral performance. Instead, they ought to be exactly what Jesus has called them to be—the church. The year was 1961, and JFK was giving his famous inaugural speech on January 20th. In his speech he... Continue Reading
Pentagon Prayers and the Constitution’s “Sundays Excepted” Clause
The underlying impulse seems clear enough for the recent, highly publicized evangelical worship service held at the Pentagon, at which defense secretary Pete Hegseth participated in a prominent role by leading the opening prayer.
The Constitution’s Article I, Section 7, deals with the procedure for bills passed by the Congress which are sent to the President for signature or veto: “If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law,...

We Rehearse the Acts of the Lord
Taking a Cue from Joshua 4:21
Corporate worship is the most important context in which we rehearse the acts of the Lord. The living God has made himself known in the Old and New Testaments. There are ancient and modern songs of the faith that beautifully express what we believe. And through the ordinances of baptism and communion, the saving acts... Continue Reading
Turn the World into a Pulpit
William Spurstowe saw sermons everywhere.
When the Word of Christ is dwelling in you richly, then you’ll be equipped to say with the hymnwriter, “he speaks to me everywhere.” Pore over every leaf and ledger with an eye for spiritual reminders. Our forgetful hearts need constant prodding, else our spiritual indifference will drag us down to earth. Knotty trees. Crumbling... Continue Reading
The Dangerous Secret Your Young Men Are Keeping: Neo-Nazi Thought Has Entered the Church
Shepherds must bring swift and stern rebuke.
Father famine has led to a generation of foolish and undisciplined men. The rapid expansion of the Internet exacerbated the problem. Our society was not prepared for an always-on, ever-present information source that could build toxic silos around foolish men, disaffected or otherwise. The fatherly failure to discipline men has thus extended to how men... Continue Reading
“What is the Man?” Power, Autonomy, Glory, and Identity in Psalm 8
Eve’s choice of self-worship, along with Adam’s cooperation, changed the identity and destiny of humanity.
As the descendants of Adam and Eve, we are prone to shout out, “How majestic is my name in all the earth!” In other words, we try to answer the ontological question “Who am I?” by securing our power, autonomy, and glory. The true answer to the question of our identity, however, comes from God our Creator,... Continue Reading

Lasting change must be built on what we collectively can be for, not just what we are against. Princeton law professor Robert P. George, proposed an idea for the month of June that has the potential to lead to significant change. Though he did not intend Fidelity Month to directly counter Pride Month, it is worth noting...

When God Seems Hidden
God lovingly leads us through darkness, in ways that will surprise us.
Just as in the Old Testament story of Job, God’s hiddenness does not always correspond to punishing us for sin. If it is appropriate to God’s nature, then we should expect seasons of hiddenness will come. And these will come by divine design. The Psalms of lament, much of the Bible’s wisdom literature, and a... Continue Reading
