“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.

Written by Matthew Everhard | Thursday, July 9, 2015

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

Written by Samuel W. Oliver | Tuesday, July 7, 2015

“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...

5 Common Obstacles Long Term Pastors Experience

What are 5 common obstacles that long term pastors face in their church?

Written by Jack Wellman | Sunday, July 5, 2015

The long term pastor faces frustrations, betrayal, weariness, loneliness, disappointments, burnout, depression, marital conflict, criticism, and even contempt. It shouldn’t surprise us at all that there are so many obstacles for long term pastors and one of the greatest obstacles is even surviving to be a pastor long enough to be considered a long term...

Russell Moore’s ERLC Posts a Flawed “Evangelical Declaration on Marriage”

Here are at least five problems that I see with the statement

Written by Robert A. J. Gagnon | Wednesday, July 1, 2015

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

InterVarsity Regains Access to Cal State Campuses

Requiring Christian leaders will no longer bar student ministry from recognition

Written by Jeremy Weber | Saturday, June 27, 2015

“InterVarsity has experienced tensions over its religious requirements at more than 40 college campuses in recent years, including most notably Vanderbilt University and Tufts University. Meanwhile, a surprising number of evangelicals disagree with faith requirements at public universities.”   nterVarsity has given CT more details about its reinstatement at 19 California campuses. “Cal State has...

When Pastors Abuse

Abuse happens but it isn’t normal and should not be accepted. By God’s grace there is hope and help.

Written by R. Scott Clark | Thursday, June 25, 2015

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...

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

Written by Robert M. Walker | Wednesday, June 24, 2015

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

Written by Eric Davis | Monday, June 22, 2015

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

From Franklin Graham to Tony Campolo, Some Evangelical Leaders Are Splitting Over Gay Marriage

Some are wondering whether the shifts are a signal of what’s to come

Written by Sarah Pulliam Bailey | Saturday, June 20, 2015

“Just in the past few days, Tony Campolo announced his support for same-sex couples’ inclusion in the church, while Franklin Graham announced that he would pull Billy Graham Evangelistic Association accounts from LGBT-friendly Wells Fargo bank. On top of that, retired editor of Christianity Today David Neff announced his support for gay marriage.”   Ahead of... Continue Reading
