I Have the Nine … a Retrospective on the Charleston Church Shooting

Christians should long remember the lesson Emanuel’s brothers and sisters in the faith taught them: the Biblical doctrine of forgiveness is central to Christian faith.

Written by L. John Van Til | Sunday, September 27, 2015

The following Wednesday it was again Bible study time. Nearly 150 people showed up. This session was led by Rev. Dr. Norvel Goff. He acknowledged the previous week’s murders by saying, “Last week dark powers came over Mother Emanuel. But that’s alright,” he said. “God in his infinite wisdom, said ‘That’s alright. I’ve got the... Continue Reading

Bernie Sanders’ Christian Encounter at Liberty

College students offer a winsome alternative to presidential candidate’s socialist message

Written by Jamie Dean | Sunday, September 27, 2015

By visiting Liberty, Sanders, a self-declared socialist polling ahead of Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, punctuated his differences with Clinton’s struggling campaign—Sanders engages tough audiences, while Clinton retreats. (Clinton’s campaign has grown infamous for staging friendly interactions with preselected voters and avoiding reporters’ questions.) Sanders’ message at Liberty stuck with his usual talking points, but offered... Continue Reading

Diplomacy or D-Day?

I Peter 3:15 is not so much about being a confrontational apologist as it is about being a diplomatic ambassador.

Written by Gregory Koukl | Sunday, September 27, 2015

So here’s my challenge to you: Make “Columbo” your game plan. Don’t swing for the fences in every conversation. Just get into the batter’s box with these two questions and see what the Holy Spirit does. If you want to move forward effectively in a hostile environment, you don’t have to be an expert. Just take... Continue Reading

Christian Colleges That Permit Professors in Same-Sex Marriages Resign Membership

The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) has again lost two member schools.

Written by Christianity Today | Saturday, September 26, 2015

The CCCU board of directors predicted that most of its 120 North American members would agree that EMU and Goshen’s new positions on homosexuality “placed them outside the bounds of the CCCU’s membership.” But it also believed that a demotion to affiliate status would be a permissible level of partnership.   The Council for Christian...

Almost 40,000 copies of the new edition of the Reformation Study Bible (2015) in the English Standard Version (ESV) have been distributed.

Written by Staff | Thursday, September 24, 2015

Five Temptations for Classical Christian Education

Creating a truly gracious classroom is much harder than creating an orderly classroom

Written by Brian Douglas | Tuesday, September 22, 2015

“The first temptation is to overemphasize mistaken notions of success. The bigger our schools grow, the more respected a faculty we attract, the better we implement a Trivium-based curriculum, and the more accomplished our graduates become, the more we will be tempted to slip into something of a prep school mentality.”   Having taught at...

Fuller Seminary Takes A Stand

Fuller Seminary decided not to offer tenure to a New Testament professor, J. R. Daniel Kirk

Written by Robert A. J. Gagnon | Sunday, September 20, 2015

In view of the fact that many leftwing “liberal” institutions associated with SBL/AAR “penalize [conservative] scholars for doing genuine research” that leads to a negative assessment of homosexual practice, it is hard not to view this defense of “genuine research” as more than a tad hypocritical.   Fuller Seminary decided not to offer tenure to a New...

In Welcoming Sanders, Liberty University Shows the Left How to Handle Dissent

Is there something unique at a faith-driven campus that allows people the freedom to debate without recourse to violence and intimidation?

Written by Andrew T. Walker | Thursday, September 17, 2015

Why is it that conservative Christians are the adults in the room while liberals turn schools into ideologically rigid precincts with safe houses for infantile students? Many of us have observed that liberalism is illiberal and intolerant, often to the point of intimidation or violence. But why is this? Many of us have observed that... Continue Reading

3 Reasons Contemporary Worship IS Declining, and What We Can Do to Help the Church Move On

Contemporary worship is in decline; what should come next?

Written by Jonathan Aigner | Sunday, September 13, 2015

This issue has been framed poorly: It’s not about old vs. new. It’s not about old vs. young (especially these days). It’s not about taste. It’s not about what kind of music God likes more. It’s not really about music. It’s about the very purpose of gathered worship. It’s about unity, not choice. It’s about... Continue Reading
