Why I Left Atheism for Christianity

When looking for answers to important questions, I bumped hard into reality.

Written by Jonathan Noyes | Tuesday, April 11, 2023

Atheism reduces human beings to cosmic junk, moist robots with no ultimate purpose or meaning. This is where my struggle came in. On atheism, nothing quenched my thirst for significance or my desire for justice. Nothing ultimately matters on atheism. This wasn’t the testimony of my soul, though. I knew life had meaning.   I’m... Continue Reading

How Gay Marriage Changed America

Religious freedom, due process, and equal treatment before the law must all yield before the imperative of inclusion.

Written by Matthew Schmitz | Tuesday, April 11, 2023

Obergefell was supposed to tame homosexuality, but it has precip­itated a regime of more radical queerness. From “Marriage is a human right” to “Marriage is deeply flawed and fundamentally violent”: The sexual left’s long-running dispute about the nature of marriage and its relation to gayness seems to be getting resolved in the direction of the marriage...

Why I no longer use Transgender Pronouns—and Why You shouldn’t, either.

My use of transgendered pronouns was not a mistake; it was sin.

Written by Rosaria Butterfield | Thursday, April 6, 2023

Christians who use the moral lens of LGBTQ+ personhood are not merely a “soft presence” in the enemy camp. Their malleability makes them pudding in the enemy’s hand. They make false converts to a counterfeit gospel that bends the knee to the fictional identity of LGBTQ+. This wolfish theology cedes the moral language to the... Continue Reading

A Time to Keep Silence: A Dissenting Perspective on the Nashville Massacre

Let us recognize that this is for many of us “a time to keep silence” (Eccl. 3:7) and act accordingly.

Written by Tom Hervey | Wednesday, April 5, 2023

This massacre was perpetrated by one person in one place and toward one group of people. Even granting that we share a faith and formal ecclesiastical ties, there is a case for many of us keeping silent and not presuming to advise or to otherwise discuss the matter. In a matter so awful even consolation... Continue Reading

Moral Hazard as a Way of Life

Moral hazard is endemic to a banking system regulated by a central bank.

Written by Jeffrey M. Herbener | Tuesday, April 4, 2023

At least one former Federal-Reserve insider recognizes that our central banking system has made moral hazard a way of life. What’s needed is fundamental reform. When will we abandon the foolish path of enacting policies that extend the scope of moral hazard? If we refuse to abandon the foolish path, we risk burning our house to the... Continue Reading

Are We the Byzantines?

Current woke dogma, obscure word fights, and sanctimonious cancel culture are antithetical to the past generations.

Written by Victor Davis Hanson | Monday, April 3, 2023

The Islamic winners took over the once magical city of Constantine and renamed it Istanbul. It had been the home of the renowned Santa Sophia, the largest Christian church in the world for over 900 years. Almost immediately, this “Church of the Holy Wisdom” was converted into the then largest mosque in the Islamic world,... Continue Reading

The Christian Soldier

On December 14, 1862, Dabney preached a sermon titled The Christian Soldier. This brief article will analyze the concept of a "Christian Soldier."

Written by David T. Crum | Monday, April 3, 2023

Outside of courage, Dabney felt the Christian maintained an eternal peace that assisted him on the battlefield and even upon facing death. Any student studying Jackson knew this was clear in the general’s life. If you surrendered your worries to God’s Sovereign will, could this promote a better soldier? Dabney remained adamant that this was... Continue Reading

Partial Preterists: Don’t Fudge

A response to Dean Davis’s “Preterism - Exposition and Critique”

Written by Larry Ball | Monday, April 3, 2023

There are some texts in the New Testament that legislate against every eschatological-related text as being only fulfilled in the yet-to-be future.  There are words and phrases that demand that some of these events must be interpreted from a preterist (past) perspective.  In other words, PP don’t fudge.    Why do I write so much...

Why We Need the Worship Wars

The Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian creeds represent early responses to heresies, and defining points for orthodoxy.

Written by David de Bruyn | Saturday, April 1, 2023

We should not be surprised that there exists in our era contention over proper sensibilities toward God. The truly alarming thing would be if there were none. What is somewhat different in our era is the post-modern mood that despises debate and clear definition. This pseudo-tolerance has long ago compromised the doctrinal integrity of professing Evangelicals. The... Continue Reading

Everyone I Don’t Like is Literally Gothard

What does Gothard specifically mean by “authority is like an ‘umbrella of protection’” that makes it so bad?

Written by Ron Henzel | Friday, March 31, 2023

Gothard says we can transfer ourselves back into Satan’s realm at any time, not by, say, apostatizing from the Christian faith, but simply by getting “out from under” our “umbrella of protection,”8 by which he means things like disobeying our bosses or our parents. While Paul says, “But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you... Continue Reading
