When Pastors Abuse
Abuse happens but it isn’t normal and should not be accepted. By God’s grace there is hope and help.
Third, sometimes church discipline is exercised in the context of a poor structure in which the pastor is without sufficient accountability. Some evangelical groups that identify with some aspects of Reformed theology are not actually Reformed in their polity. In many cases, these groups are congregational in polity and are not sufficiently connected and accountable to... Continue Reading
The Bible and Polyamorous Relationships
Once the church no longer feels bound by Scripture any and all definitions of marriage will be allowed and practiced
There is no logical reason, apart from a prejudice against zoophilia, to restrict such marriages to humans. This reductio ad absurdum shows that once you move away from biblical law, logically anything goes. Once the church no longer feels bound by Scripture, there are unforeseen consequences and eventually what can happen, will happen. It... Continue Reading
The Tragedy of Apostasy
As our leadership team has had to grapple with this recently, we wanted to share a few things we’ve learned from the tragedy of apostasy
As Octavius Winslow wrote, the apostate will for all eternity cry out, “God is holy; I was a sinner; I rejected His salvation, I turned my back upon His gospel, I despised His Son, I hated God Himself, I lived in my sins, I loved my sins, I died in my sins, and now I... Continue Reading

Rolling in Green
Left-wing foundations are spending millions to promote environmentalism and ‘climate action’ among young evangelicals
Environmental grant-making is big business. In 2012, 673 U.S. foundations gave thousands of grants worth $1.59 billion for advocacy and programs involving animals, wildlife, and the environment, according to the Foundation Center. The top environmental donor that year was the liberal William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, a major funder of Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion... Continue Reading
Plant a Tree on Your Way Out
Knowing the end is coming, what do I do today? I will plant a tree.
Any fruit on this fallen earth will certainly seem small. It might look slightly bruised. It’ll probably harbor a worm or two. I’m not really planting trees for this world. I’m planting them for the next. I cling to that promise of my God, “He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall... Continue Reading
Woman Accused of Lying About Race Has Belhaven University Ties
An NAACP leader, professor and artist with ties to Jackson, Miss., has made national headlines after her parents alleged their daughter has been falsely portraying herself as African-American.
Rachel Dolezal, who now lives in Washington, graduated from Belhaven University in 2000 and was active in the Jackson community through Voices of Calvary Ministries, her mother Ruthanne Dolezal told The Clarion-Ledger.

Are You Serious about Repenting of Racial Sins: Here’s a Place to Start
Here is the easiest sort of repentance. It requires no more than to say to that couple and to the students of that era, "I/we were wrong. I/we are sorry."
Over time, because of invitations given by white students in dorms, Black students became involved in the ministry, attending the large group and small group Bible studies. Eventually at least (memory a little dull here) three Black male students became leaders as they became member of our student Core Group. RUF-USM was the only “integrated”... Continue Reading
