“I turned to What’s Next What’s Now hoping to find some resources to help post-college Christians understand and apply their faith to the stage of life they occupy. After all, the Reformed tradition has been a thought and practice leader in understanding and engaging culture with the Gospel. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. There are plenty...

Before the court appearance, a Muslim scholar went to Ibrahim – as has happened repeatedly since her incarceration without trial in February – and spent nearly 40 minutes trying to force her to recant, sources said. She told him what she told the judge. “I am a Christian, and I have never been a Muslim,”... Continue Reading

It is better to be involved, dialogue, and work towards good ends rather than agitating to leave the denomination. The PCA is not at, or even extremely close to, a point where I am wanting to leave. This is not to predict the future that such a time may come in 5, 10, 20 or... Continue Reading

One of the primary lies spun to women, is that perfect beauty can be attained.  And if it is not, we are destined to be miserable.

Christians are called to share the gospel with others and rely upon the power of the Holy Spirit for His work in their lives, while at the same time never treating the gospel like a sales pitch. Some Christians—particularly new ones enthused by their budding faith—are eager and willing to share the gospel. Others have... Continue Reading

They may know someone who committed a specific sin they feel warrants discipline. Sometimes they... Continue Reading

Anxiety: Worry seems to wake up when we are trying to sleep, and it’s often more powerful than our sleepiness. Learning how to cast our cares upon God and to trust him to care for us is far better and healthier in the long-term than sleep medications.   If there are so many good reasons to sleep...

At the risk of sounding alarmist, I do believe that the church (in the West at least) is going to see (is seeing?) an increase in the number of churches which batter their pastors. It makes perfect sense. With the demise of the very idea of authority it should not be surprising that more pastors... Continue Reading
