New Survey Illuminates Little and Misses the Real Story
The real story told by this data is completely missed or ignored by the report. Namely, the strong polarity represented in the data. That is, the divide between the adherents and the zealots. Both occupy relatively the same statistical positioning and they are diametrically opposed to one another in their vision for the American way... Continue Reading
When Did God Become a Human?
Jesus became a human at the same stage of human development as the rest of all humanity: conception.
At one point, the most precious person in the universe was the size of a poppy seed. So when people advocate for abortion at any point in pregnancy, remember when God became a human. At some point in time, the son of God became the son of man. Do you know when that happened?... Continue Reading
If God Came to Be with Us, We Can Hardly Refuse to Be with His People
Cultural individualism obscures the necessity of corporate Christianity.
If Jesus came to his people while we were his enemies, we have little grounds to argue that we can’t be around God’s people because they have hurt us. They hurt Jesus far more and yet he came to be with his people, they dealt with him more severely and yet he served them and... Continue Reading
The Real Problem at Harvard (and It’s Not DEI)
Harvard has embraced as virtuous the sin of partiality.
When viewed through the lens of theological anthropology, we would do well to understand that there are no such categories as “black” people or “white” people (Galatians 3:28). They are merely cultural distinctions that serve only to foster and perpetuate animosity between various groups of God’s image-bearers. Regarding the situation at Harvard University involving allegations... Continue Reading
God Created with Functional Maturity, Not “Appearance of Age”
Does mature creation make God a deceiver?
Since age is an inference based on assumptions, there is no deception involved when people make the wrong assumptions about the starting conditions. Indeed, how could God be deceiving when He has told us plainly when He created? Rather, those who deny His word are deceiving themselves. One striking feature of the record of... Continue Reading
A Prayer for a Christian Husband and Wife to Pray Together
At times it can be difficult to know what to pray or how to pray.
“Enable us, Lord, as husband and wife to shine like the sun and moon, and our children as stars, so gloriously and powerfully with the light of holiness, that our house may be your lesser heaven.” It is one of the most important habits that any married couple can form. Unfortunately, it is also... Continue Reading
Dignity, Faith, & Work
The humanist rejects God while affirming loudly the value of people.
The humanist exalts the virtues of honesty, justice, and compassion, but he must crucify his mind to do it. For the humanist is caught in the vicious contradiction of ascribing dignity to creatures who live their lives between the poles of meaninglessness. He lives on borrowed capital, deriving his values from the Judeo-Christian faith, while... Continue Reading
The Incarnation of Christ, by William S. Plumer
"Let none be offended at the mystery of the incarnation. If we cannot comprehend, let us adore."
From the day that Christ was born to this hour, all the desirable changes which have taken place in the world, either in persons or communities, have been in consequence of his incarnation and of his glorious progress in setting up his kingdom. So, shall it ever be. His kingdom is constantly enlarging. His diadem... Continue Reading
The Apocalyptic Christmas
In the birth of Jesus, evil has been defeated, it is being defeated, and one day will be perfectly defeated.
This apocalyptic Christmas narrative reorients our understanding of the season. It’s a reminder that the peace, joy, and goodwill come through death, war, and dominion. Theses are not just sentimental ideals but realities grounded in the triumph of Christ over the powers of darkness. Introduction When we think about Christmas, our minds often conjure...

5 Days Per Week Bible Reading Program for 2024
Have you given up trying to read the whole Bible in a year? Why not try a plan that schedules only 5 days a week, so you have built-in catch-up days?
Many people find that first thing in the morning is their best time for reading God’s Word. But that doesn’t work for everyone, or for every season of life. The more important thing is not when you read but that you read. Use lunchtime, break time or bedtime depending on what works best for you. ... Continue Reading
