To Beat the Dodgers’ Anti-Christian Hate, MLB Stars Must Refuse to Play Ball

Baseball players have a clear decision before them, one that could galvanize support for them and give courage to the rest of us.

Written by John Daniel Davidson | Tuesday, June 13, 2023

The controversy now engulfing the MLB is part of that religious war, and every player in the league is involved in it whether they want to be or not. They, too, must choose a side. Choosing sides will mean different things for different people, but for those who choose the side of the Tao — of... Continue Reading

There Are Arrogant Arguers among Us

It is a strange world out there.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Tuesday, June 13, 2023

I had posted a terrific meme about prayer on the social media. Who could get upset about that? Indeed, never in a million years would I have imagined that anyone could possibly take offence at it or want to pick a fight over it. Yet sure enough, that is just what happened.   Some folks just love to argue. It... Continue Reading

Buy Nothing in June

Consumerism sets the stage for pride.

Written by Nate Fischer | Monday, June 12, 2023

In June nearly all major brands wrap themselves in the rainbow: there is no easy switch to a less-offensive alternative in many sectors. But a response need not be a targeted punishment of one company to be meaningful. It can be a symbolic rejection of the entire mass consumer lifestyle—and an exercise in virtues that...

Not Buying False Choices: The Christian Vision for Sex Is Better

There is a better vision for sexuality that transcends the exploitation of women’s bodies or the denial of their existence.

Written by John Stonestreet and Shane Morris | Monday, June 12, 2023

Christian pro-life activist Lila Rose appeared on the dating talk podcast Whatever, which boasts over 4 million subscribers on YouTube. Lila did what every Christian should do in a culture captivated by false dichotomies. She painted a better vision of anything currently on offer. She pointed to an alternative in which men and women are... Continue Reading

Church Leaders: June Is Not the Time to be Silent

The month of June has been usurped by the “father of lies” (John 8: 44) who “deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12: 9).

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Saturday, June 10, 2023

The month of June has been usurped by the “father of lies,” (John 8: 44) who “deceives the whole world,” (Revelation 12: 9), and who disguises himself as “an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11: 14).  In other words, many churches and our nation have readily turned over an entire month to serious evil—serious, yet...

Reflecting on the Pastoral Failures of 2020

Looking back after three years, I recognize failures to live up to the commitments of my theological framework resulted in impositions upon the congregation of First Presbyterian Church.

Written by Ryan Biese | Saturday, June 10, 2023

As a minister of the gospel, I should have “stayed in my lane,” stuck to the text, and more vehemently opposed any effort to impose a masking requirement upon the people of God. Such a policy and such an application of the Sixth Commandment was not based on the teaching of Scripture, but based on... Continue Reading

Blasphemy in the Presbyterian Church in America: A Reflection before the General Assembly

“Blasphemy depends upon belief” — and if one does not see the blasphemy he ought to examine his heart to see what are his actual beliefs.

Written by Tom Hervey | Friday, June 9, 2023

Does he believe sexual immorality is shameful (Eph. 5:12) and corrosive (1 Cor. 6:18) and ought not to be discussed, or does he believe that being a ‘[insert sin here] Christian’ is just another form of Christian experience? Does he believe that it is blasphemy to associate Christ’s holy name with enduring sin and to... Continue Reading

Flunking the Equity Test

The largest source of public confusion is the mistaken belief that CRT embraces the principle of color blindness.

Written by Max Eden, Michael Hartney | Thursday, June 8, 2023

The manufactured belief that CRT is merely a continuation of civil rights–era efforts to ensure equality of opportunity provides valuable cover for those pushing race-conscious policies and practices that prioritize equity in outcomes.   On a recent episode of his cable television program, Bill Maher asked Bernie Sanders to explain the difference between equality and...

Are Pictures of Jesus “Spiritually Helpful” for Our Covenant Children?

A debate has been stirring in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) on whether using pictures or images of Jesus is appropriate or a violation of the second commandment.

Written by Terry Carnes | Thursday, June 8, 2023

We need to protect ourselves from wrongly seeing Christ as some actor or faulty illustration we have seen, how much more should we protect our children? We should strongly object to the thought that images “can be spiritually helpful for our children.” I contend just the opposite: they can easily draw our children into sin.... Continue Reading

The Allure of Evil

Destruction and violence are anything but banal.

Written by Carl R. Trueman | Wednesday, June 7, 2023

What we are up against is a generation transfixed by the allure of desire, the delight and satisfaction of destruction which lets loose the forces held in check by civilization. Any effort to respond in a persuasive manner must come with an appeal to the heart—one that offers to satisfy not only material needs but... Continue Reading
