The Bible Is Still Relevant, Despite What You May Have Heard

The latest episode of the Colson Center’s What Would You Say? video series offers a response to the claim that “the modern world has moved beyond the Bible.”

Written by John Stonestreet and Michaela Estruth | Sunday, July 9, 2023

Every video in the What Would You Say? series offers thoughtful, reasoned, and reliable answers to common cultural questions. This video explains how the Bible shaped Western culture, how the Bible’s description of reality provided the grounding for modern science, and why there will be a growing demand for the Bible as more and more...

Salvation by God at the Cross of Christ: A Reflection on Chapter 6 of Christianity and Liberalism (Part 2)

We should reject adjusting the atonement, sin, and our view of God to meet the tastes or fads of the day, but rather have a clear-eyed focus on sin and the cross as the core of the gospel.

Written by K.J. Drake | Friday, July 7, 2023

To modify the core message of the gospel in order to receive what we think of as a proper hearing will lead to unfaithfulness. There are temptations within the evangelical church to compromise at the same places where theological liberalism was found defective: the doctrine of sin, character of God, and the accomplishment of the...

Heresy at the Heart of Derek Webb’s “Boys Will Be Girls”

Webb’s new album, The Jesus Hypothesis, is anything but subtle: it’s a celebration of gender transition and drag.

Written by Shane Morris | Thursday, July 6, 2023

As Pride Month and its demands increasingly invade all of life, Christians must understand the semireligious nature of the culture war we’re fighting. Homosexual behavior and cross-dressing are nothing new, but as Scrivener, Holland, and (I suspect) Chesterton would argue, the way these things are sold today—as a matter of oppressed and outcast minorities in...

Salvation by God at the Cross of Christ: A Reflection on Chapter 6 of Christianity and Liberalism (Part 1)

The parting of ways on salvation secures Machen’s thesis that, in fact and by honest assessment, Christianity and theological liberalism are different religions.

Written by K.J. Drake | Thursday, July 6, 2023

Theological liberalism presents not merely a sub-Christian view of salvation but a different conception of it entirely, which depends on and elevates humanity rather than God. Machen sharply contrasts the liberal view of salvation, Christ as example, with Christ as vicarious sufferer in the mode of legal penal substitution. Far from being an arcane and “subtle” theory,...

Movie Review: Nefarious

"Nefarious" is a modern-day take on C.S. Lewis’s famous "The Screwtape Letters."

Written by Mark Powell | Wednesday, July 5, 2023

There is so much to appreciate about this film, and not just because it’s a good movie. Nefarious is a theologically orthodox explanation about God, the Devil, and the cosmic battle which occurs every day for a person’s soul.   Nefarious is the best movie you’re likely not to see in 2023. Why that is the case has nothing... Continue Reading

Your Role in the Bigger Story

We will not know this side of heaven just how much influence we will have had in this life – just how much good we may have done for Christ and the kingdom. 

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Tuesday, July 4, 2023

We can do so much even in the mundane things of life. As I have said before, simply walking the dogs can be part of our kingdom-building efforts. When I walk my dog twice daily, I pray for all my neighbours as I walk past their houses. It is likely that only in the next life will I... Continue Reading

Reinterpreting Church History: A Response to Mimi Haddad, “History Matters”

We ought not to read back in time our own novel ideas about men and women derived from a century of complicated social and philosophical upheaval.

Written by Anne Kennedy | Tuesday, July 4, 2023

Haddad provides little in the way of evidence for her claim that complementarians rarely discuss abuse while egalitarians make it one of their main emphases. One might rather say that egalitarians often make the accusation that complementarianism fosters abuse. Unhappily, the questions for which our own age beg for answers engender little curiosity for egalitarians like...

An Excerpt from “Irony and the Presbyterian Church in America,” An Informed History of the First Half Century of the PCA.

The excerpt: “The 1996 (24th) General Assembly: Without A Vision (Or The Concerned) The People Did Just Fine.”

Written by David Hall | Monday, July 3, 2023

This book is an informed history of the first half century of a denomination formed in 1973. Other works discuss the events and personalities which led up to the founding of the Presbyterian Church in America, but this one traces the development and history of that church from 1973-2023. This volume benefits from the observations... Continue Reading

Learning Apologetics from Augustine

For Augustine, apologetics and soul care go hand in hand.

Written by Joshua Chatraw and Mark Allen | Monday, July 3, 2023

In Confessions, he tells a better and more rational story about reason, interweaving how our thinking depends on trust, how our deepest desires move us along through life, and how disordered loves misalign our intellectual quests for the truth. And he does this all while layering his account with the Scriptures; most notably the Psalms,... Continue Reading

Machen’s Orthodoxy and Progressive Christianity: Reflections on Chapter 5 of “Christianity and Liberalism” (Part 2)

The liberalism of Machen’s day and the progressive Christianity of our own is uncomfortable with the abundant New Testament testimony that Jesus of Nazareth is to be identified entirely with the one true and living God.

Written by Kyle Claunch | Monday, July 3, 2023

Where feminism questions the place of the maleness of Jesus in the bigger story of the Christian gospel, transgender ideology undermines the very reality of his maleness altogether. Whether or not Jesus was a man, a woman, or some non-binary “other” becomes an open-ended question in the worldview of contemporary gender theorists.[6]. What is one... Continue Reading
