Religious Liberty and the Gay Marriage Endgame

For now, the right to define marriage is still reserved to the states, which means that the political battle can continue

Written by Ross Douthat | Sunday, June 30, 2013

Unless something dramatic changes in the drift of public opinion, the future of religious liberty on these issues is going to depend in part on the magnanimity of gay marriage supporters — the extent to which they are content with political, legal and cultural victories that leave the traditional view of marriage as a minority perspective...

Fool Me Twice: Thoughts on Exodus’ Closing

Grace and the gospel, not self-centeredness, are what draw people to Christ exalting sexual expression

Written by Allan Edwards | Sunday, June 30, 2013

Chambers fails on two fronts. First, his understanding of the Lordship of Christ doesn’t seem to include sexuality. Second, he seems to be accepting that there are adjectives that go in front of “Christian” to mark a man’s identity, i.e., “gay Christian.” I think there were a lot of wrongheaded people in Exodus to begin...

Faulkner, Grant, Walked the Aisles of College Hill Church

The College Hill Church and the University of Mississippi grew up together.

Written by Jim Roberts | Saturday, June 29, 2013

College Hill Presbyterian Church is recognized as the oldest church in Lafayette County and for its rich history of serving the Oxford and Ole Miss family, after all the College Hill Church and the University of Mississippi grew up together. The church building was constructed in 1846 while laborers were constructing the Lyceum Building, which... Continue Reading

The PCA Insider Movement Report: A Different View

Reasons to support the Minority Report of the PCA Study on Insider Movements

Written by Mark Bates | Saturday, June 29, 2013

In reading the critics of the Minority Report, one is left with the impression that the Minority Report is saying that Jews, Muslims, and Christians all worship the same God and therefore essentially the same faith. The Minority Report says no such thing. That is a misreading of the clear intent of the author. If... Continue Reading

I Don’t Like Paula Deen but I’ll Defend Her

The need for cultural-historical perspective

Written by William H. Smith | Saturday, June 29, 2013

We seem largely unable to judge people by the times and the societies in which they lived. Yet we can be quite oblivious to our own sins. We see very clearly what are admittedly beams, not mere motes, in the eyes of those of other times and places, but we don’t even get a glimpse of... Continue Reading

Study: Religious Oppression Rises Despite Arab Spring

People who hoped the Arab Spring would lead to greater religious freedom across the Middle East have been sorely disappointed

Written by Lauren Markoe | Saturday, June 29, 2013

And because some of the most restrictive countries are very populous, more than 5.1 billion people (74 percent of the world’s population) were living in 2011 in countries “with high government restrictions on religion or high social hostilities involving religion, the brunt of which often falls on religious minorities,” the study’s authors report.  WASHINGTON (RNS)...

My Coming Out Story: Telling My Liberal Parents I’m Pro-Life

“We are spreading the message of life, and it’s working!”

Written by Sierra Champion | Saturday, June 29, 2013

But for me, I just have a hard time ignoring the scientific facts. I have a hard time believing that the testimonies of people who have worked in the abortion industry are “fake.” I know that those pictures of aborted children aren’t Photoshopped. I know countless women who regret their abortions. My mother-in-law hung out... Continue Reading

The RPCNA Synod Day Three

Report of Day 3of the RPCNA Synod meeting in Marion, Ind.

Written by Nathan Eshelman | Friday, June 28, 2013

The court discussed an invitation from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP) to hold joint Synods at Bonclarken in 2015. The ARP said that for the sake of conscience, all worship services and singing would be acapella psalmody for the sake of the RPCNA. The court accepted this invitation and looks forward to deepening the... Continue Reading

What the Supreme Court Decision Means

Thoughts on Justice Antonin Scalia's dissent in the Defense of Marriage Act case

Written by Marvin Olasky, WNS | Friday, June 28, 2013

Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s declaration that all who oppose same-sex marriage are haters, the only thing that will keep Christ-haters from giving Christians a choice of silence or jail will be the social left’s sense of what it can get away with. As Edmund Burke wrote when reflecting on the French Revolution, “In the... Continue Reading

How Should Same-Sex Marriage Change the Church’s Witness?

This is an opportunity for gospel witness, to serve as a light in a dark place.

Written by Russell Moore | Friday, June 28, 2013

Same-sex marriage is headed for your community. This is no time for fear or outrage or politicizing. It’s a time for forgiven sinners, like us, to do what the people of Christ have always done. It’s time for us to point beyond our family values and our culture wars to the cross of Christ as... Continue Reading
