Scouts in the Balance
Will the Boy Scouts of America survive a double-barreled attack from atheists and homosexual activists?
Conservatives suspect the rule change, if affirmed, is only the first step in a gay BSA agenda. James Dale lost his Supreme Court case, but he’s now 42 and giving “diversity lectures” at universities like Harvard and Yale and corporations like Microsoft and Verizon. Dale, attacking the proposal and “BSA’s homophobia,” says “there can be... Continue Reading
The Good Heart of the Adoption Movement
Kathryn Joyce's book, 'The Child Catchers,' misses out on how adoption benefits women
No matter how much support exists for women, there will always be situations where illness, death, or immaturity make it difficult or impossible for a woman to be a mother to her child. Yet, Joyce admits of no instances where adoption would be a valid—or indeed beneficial—option for a woman and implies that a woman... Continue Reading
A Summary of the Gospel
The gospel of Christ is the good tidings that God has revealed concerning Christ
And now this mediation of Christ is, by the appointment of the Father, preached to the children of men, of whatever nation or rank, freely offering this atonement unto sinners for atonement, requiring them to believe in Him and, upon believing, promising not only a discharge of all their former sins, but that they shall...

Spotlight on Liberty
Liberal magazines take keen interest in Liberty University's stance on homosexuality
Kevin Roose, author of The Unlikely Disciple, an account of Roose’s time as a secret skeptic enrolled at Liberty, also argued in New York Magazine that Liberty has backed away from vocal opposition to gay marriage, especially as it has emphasized campus and online growth. Even though the school’s behavioral code still bans homosexual acts,... Continue Reading
Gospel Reformation Network Pre-PCA Assembly Conference to be Held June 17-18, 2013
The theme will be, “What Grace Does: Reclaiming the Whole Gospel for the Whole Man.”
One of the goals of the GRN is to clarify the nature of the sanctification as it has been taught, written about, and addressed over the last couple of decades.

Message Received: Wycliffe Translations and the Insider Movement
Wycliffe pledges to comply with an audit panel’s recommendations on controversial Bible translation practices
“The WEA Panel (hereafter referred to as ‘Panel’) recommends that when the words for ‘father’ and ‘son’ refer to God the Father and to the Son of God, these words always be translated with the most directly equivalent familial words within the given linguistic and cultural context of the recipients,” the report says.

Why I Cannot Sign the Family Integrated Church Confession
Reasons I will not sign the online family integrated church confession
There are various other problems with the confession: vague generalizations, undefined terms, simplistic proof-texting, questionable assertions and the like. These alone would prevent me from signing the confession. But throwing all churches under the evolutionary-secular-unbiblical bus for practicing age-segregation goes too far. Whatever a church or Christian believes about the FIC movement as a positive... Continue Reading
35 Years of Massive Worship Changing Initiatives! Did They?
The Evangelical church has been in a revolving door of change over the past 35 years. We have been reformed and reforming, and reforming, and reforming....
“It’s called BEING the church!” The more we do to revitalize it, the more flaccid it often becomes. Many church observers would probably agree that some (but not all) of our most widely-touted “fixes” and innovations for the church failed to do much, cost a lot of money, and caused discord among many traditionalists—that’s probably...
