AI, Transhumanism and Religion
The religious basis of transhumanism.
Without the Holy Spirit there is no church, no church service, no pastor, no sermon, no ministry, and no life. All you then have is just humanistic mush. But we now want to replace even God in our lives, and some churches are happy to go along with this. Sorry, no true Christian ever will. God... Continue Reading
Where in the World is the World? Natural Science and Cosmic Geocentrism
Three scientific argumentations favorable to the idea of cosmic geocentrism.
In such a world, cosmic geocentrism may well be true. Moreover, from many quarters we have received good evidence that it really is true. It is the testimony of common sense (and therefore the testimony of most ancient cosmologies). It is the testimony of the Bible. It is the testimony of sound observational science. It...

Charles Colson and the Cultural Commission
Yes we should be engaging with our culture.
The original marching orders given to Adam and Eve still apply to us, even though the Fall has twisted things greatly. The church has been losing big time not only because it has failed to take the Great Commission seriously, but also the Cultural Commission. All Christians know about the Great Commission and most...

Machen on the Necessity of Christian Doctrine: An Application of Christianity and Liberalism Chapter 2 (Part 2)
Liberalism appeals to man’s will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God.
Because of the sinfulness of the human heart the old covenant could not bring about the righteousness it commanded, so God promised a new covenant that would provide both obedience from the heart and forgiveness for sin. What the law could not accomplish, God has accomplished in us through Christ. Led by his Spirit we... Continue Reading
The Discontentment of Pride
Thanklessness is discontentment, and discontentment invites the judgment of getting what you want.
About two or three generations back, we abandoned God in exchange for free love, easy divorce, abortion, and sodomy. We were discontent with God. Back then they thought the sin could be contained, while still maintaining a semblance of external prosperity and wholesomeness. The homosexual movement cannot be satisfied. A short few years ago,...

Diving Deep into Occultism: A Review of The Journey Home
Book Review—"The Journey Home: A Biblical Guide to Using the Enneagram to Deepen Your Faith and Relationships," by Meredith Boggs
There is nothing in the Enneagram that exposes us to true the knowledge of our utterly bankrupt evil nature and the good gifts which come only from the God Who is truly holy. The Enneagram doesn’t reveal our sinful condition, separation from God, His holiness, His love for us, and provision for salvation. Christians hold... Continue Reading
The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism
The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism obliquely but powerfully gestures toward a hole often found in the gospel that post-dispensationalist evangelicals believe today.
As fate—or perhaps providence—would have it, Darby’s premillennial eschatology and the stark intensity of his heaven-earth dualism caught on not just in Southern England, but in America. Reshaped in the hands of other ministers, theologians, and popularizers, his ideas and those of his Plymouth Brethren colleagues would in due time change the trajectory of American...

Lessons to Learn from Christianity and Liberalism a Century Later
In Christianity and Liberalism, Machen not only speaks against the error of his day but also positively expounds and defends the truth of Scripture and Christian theology.
Although Christianity and Liberalism was written a century ago, its trumpet blast resounds to our day. It does so not because of the brilliance of Machen, but because Machen faithfully called the church in his day to build their lives on the authority of God’s world. For us today, we need to heed his call to stand... Continue Reading
Dear False Teacher: The Puritan Thomas Brooks Would Like a Word with You
According to Brooks, knowing a wolf by his characteristics is needed to kick him to the curb, so he provides seven.
“False teachers strive more to win over men to their opinions, not better them in their [Christian walk].” False teachers want you to forget that the sin of homosexuality is rebellion against the creation ordinance (which is the same sin leveled by letters of the alphabet soup, LGBTQ). Rebellion against God’s created order, which he... Continue Reading
Can A “Christian Nation” Be Good For Everybody?
Proclaim Liberty is a polemical work–not in tone (which remains careful and measured throughout), but in its direct aim to persuade the reader that Christianity is good for America and that religious freedom is good for all Americans.
The book as a whole is thoroughly researched and effectively argued. Hall’s work is a needed reminder that even if America never was, and is not now, “Christian” in every sense of the word, we can never fully separate—nor should we want to separate—Christianity from America. The fight for liberty, not least of all religious liberty,... Continue Reading
