Spiritually Hungry? The Church Service Is Your Main Meal

As his gathered people delight in his gospel of grace together, our souls are nourished for the week ahead.

Written by Kristen Wetherell | Saturday, September 30, 2023

The next time you feel discouraged and guilty about not having your personal “quiet time,” do this instead: remember the previous Sunday at church, and then breathe a sigh of relief and praise. You have consumed God’s Word. More than that, you have feasted on its abundance. Through singing it, praying it, reading it, and hearing it... Continue Reading

Shannon Harris Kissed Truth Goodbye

Important takeaways from this book: To be absolutely clear, Shannon was most certainly a victim of spiritual abuse. It is a compelling and painful read.

Written by Karen Campbell | Thursday, September 28, 2023

Shannon seemed to be an eager and vivacious woman trying her best to live up to manmade commands without experiencing a life built on Biblical Truth.  As with so many young men and women who have shared this experience, Shannon has chosen to identify as a victim seeking truth and wisdom from within herself. She... Continue Reading

The Return of the Kingdom

Book Review: Joe Boot’s, "Ruler of Kings"

Written by Aaron Edwards | Wednesday, September 27, 2023

The book raises many questions for further reflection, such as regarding the extensive implications of sphere sovereignty. Whilst it is Biblically undeniable that God institutes and informs the distinct spheres of family, church, and state—each with Biblically defined parameters of governance—what about other “spheres”? Where do their boundaries lie, and who says so?…Who gets to... Continue Reading

A Review of B. B. Warfield’s “The Emotional Life of Our Lord”

Originally written in 1912, the essay itself covers only 83 pages which can be read without much time or effort, but with significant reward.

Written by Randy Steele | Tuesday, September 26, 2023

At a time when the theological winds of his day were denying the deity of Jesus, B. B. Warfield wanted to affirm from the Bible the foundational doctrine of his humanity, that this doctrine should not be lost in the fog of controversy.  This he has done well.  Jesus the God-Man took upon himself the...

Rediscovering E. Digby Baltzell’s Sociology of Elites

As hard as elite reform may be, reducing social atomization is more difficult, and trends appear to be moving in the wrong direction.

Written by Aaron M. Renn | Tuesday, September 26, 2023

Baltzell would see the end of the establishment and the collapse of the upper class into an irrelevant rump as a significant underlying cause of many of today’s social maladies, such as the progressive collapse of norms in our political life. This is frequently bemoaned, often with a heavy dollop of blame heaped on one’s... Continue Reading

Manning the Cultural Ramparts

On Christopher Rufo’s 'America’s Cultural Revolution'.

Written by Ben C. Dunson | Monday, September 25, 2023

One reason Rufo’s book is so helpful is that it collects information that otherwise is so scattered as to make it hard to get a good, overall picture of the radical changes taking place in American society. By doing so it shows average Americans that they’re not crazy. Things really are headed off the rails... Continue Reading

Having the Street Smarts to Talk about God

New book helps Christians to converse about tough issues.

Written by John Stonestreet and Kasey Leander | Monday, September 25, 2023

In ‘Street Smarts’, Koukl teaches the kinds of questions that are most effective while also providing sample conversations on the most common topics, which is another very important contribution of this book. In addition to answering the misconceptions about faith that people often have—from God’s existence to the divinity of Jesus—Street Smarts helps believers engage... Continue Reading

What Qualifies As Evidence? Everything!

When skeptics say the case for Christianity is weak because it can’t be built with scientific, testable, physical, forensic evidence, they simply don’t know how criminal cases are tried every day in America.

Written by J. Warner Wallace | Friday, September 22, 2023

For more information about the nature of Biblical faith and a strategy for communicating the truth of Christianity, please read Forensic Faith: A Homicide Detective Makes the Case for a More Reasonable, Evidential Christian Faith. This book teaches readers four reasonable, evidential characteristics of Christianity and provides a strategy for sharing Christianity with others.    Last... Continue Reading

How C.S. Lewis Predicted the Forced “Pronoun” Push — and Showed Us How to Respond

The famous British author and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never lived to see the days of “ze/zir” descend on Western civilization. But in his prescience, he articulated the stakes of speaking truthfully, even if the culture demands otherwise, in the book A Horse and His Boy.

Written by William Wolfe | Friday, September 22, 2023

Why should we, as Christians, talk “slaves’ and fools’ talk”? For that’s exactly what these twisted pronouns are: The talk of slaves to gender ideology and the utterances of fools who go along with it. Bree also gets at another important aspect of the debate — men who want to be referred to as “she/her” aren’t...

Is the Tide Turning on Religious Belief?

Despite the dour statistics about declining church attendance, religious faith seems to be experiencing a revival. What role did the New Atheists ironically play in it? And what is its future?

Written by Gene Edward Veith | Thursday, September 21, 2023

After tides ebb, they flow. Low tides are followed by high tides. This is the central metaphor in Justin Brierley’s new book, The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God. “In this book I will make a bold proposition—that Matthew Arnold’s long, withdrawing Sea of Faith is beginning to reach its farthest limit and that we...
