Those pushing revisionist theology have repeatedly attempted to frame the debate in terms of human sexuality. While that is the issue that has gotten the most coverage in the secular press, it has been stated time and again by those who have come to be known as re-asserters — those wishing to uphold the faith...

Maybe at some point in our history, we became embarrassed by the word Christian and we started using the word traditional.  At first it was understandable. In Christian America tradition was Christian.  However today the word tradition is a dead word and it ought to be trashed.  I am afraid that too many Christians have... Continue Reading

This article is just one more piece of evidence that the redefinition of marriage won’t end with legal gay “marriage.” The trajectory that we are on means that legal marriage may very well be defined out of existence.

When I say that, people breathe a sigh of relief and say, “Then we’d better not tell anybody about Jesus because somebody might reject him. Then they’re really in deep trouble.” But again, there are other reasons to go to hell. To... Continue Reading

Following our 2010 debate in Billings, Montana, I asked Christopher Hitchens why he didn’t try to savage me on stage the way he had so many others. His reply was immediate and emphatic: “Because you believe it.” Without fail, our former church-attending students expressed similar feelings for those Christians who unashamedly embraced biblical teaching.

We’re drawn again and again into the hopeless labyrinth of deception that is self-worship. We know we’re not worship-worthy—no matter how many self-affirming pop psychology mantras we chant. And yet we try over... Continue Reading

Those comments led Robert Gagnon, an associate professor at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, to call for Chambers’ resignation. Gagnon, who has written about homosexuality and spoken at Exodus events, said it’s unbiblical to assure people living in lifelong, unrepentant sin that they will go to heaven. “Alan’s approach of providing assurances of salvation to those actively...

It forcefully reminds readers–or, perhaps, informs them for the first time–that Christ’s saving work and its corresponding call to faith and, ultimately, self-sacrifice flows from, and so reveals, the fundamental character of the triune God as deeply loving and profoundly generous. In that process,... Continue Reading
