“I Hate You” – Do You Actually Believe This, or Do You Just Keep Repeating It Because it Works?
I’m a Christian and you are a homosexual, therefore “I hate you.” Or at least that’s the lie that the progressive media want you to believe.
It’s true that we preach repentance. Holiness. Obedience. That we must change when we come to Him. But to characterize that as “hate,” well that’s just an old-fashioned, damnable lie. It’s slander and you know it. So do you actually believe it, or do you just keep repeating it because it works? “I hate... Continue Reading
The Future of the Christian University
Most institutions will not abandon their convictions for any tax benefit
“I am deeply concerned about the impact the Supreme Court’s ruling might have on faith-based or other educational institutions—including schools from grades K-12, colleges, universities, theological seminaries and graduate schools—that hold to natural or conjugal marriage, which has only come into question within the past decade.” As I stood before more than seven hundred...

Russell Moore’s ERLC Posts a Flawed “Evangelical Declaration on Marriage”
Here are at least five problems that I see with the statement
Far from Christians being too outraged and too panicked over the last two decades, many Christians, especially among ‘elite’ evangelicals, have exhibited a dearth of outrage and alarm, so as to appear reasonable to the broader culture. Many elite evangelicals have contended that the homosexualist push in the country was only one of many issues... Continue Reading

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
