We desire the presence of God in our lives. He is always present in the true believer, but we are often not aware of and relying upon His presence. It is possible to have His presence, but not acknowledge or experience His presence, which is the cause of all spiritual failure in believers’ lives. And... Continue Reading

The problems we are facing go much deeper than culture and politics and thus cannot be resolved with a mere changing of the guard. Our sinful hearts are the issue. They are the root. They are the source of all the rot and decay, misery and injustice, corruption and oppression we see in our world at present.... Continue Reading

IVF and surrogacy witness to the most natural and most glorious of human desires, that of a man and a woman wanting together to create the life of another person. Yet the very procedures require society to treat that person as a thing, a commodity. It is the quintessential tragedy of our modern, technological age.... Continue Reading

Christianity and politics are not mutually exclusive. While the church should never become a political machine, it has a responsibility to engage the political sphere with moral clarity and courage. Our laws are, and always will be, reflections of our moral values, and Christians have an important role to play in shaping those values.  ... Continue Reading

However, the battle also faces us as a corporate body, especially at this time in the Church’s history—when the evil one will seek to take advantage to discourage, divide, and disperse the children of God during the repaganization of Western Civilization.
