Only Spiritual Brotherhood Can Save Men in the Job Crisis

America’s young men are in crisis, and the answer to this problem is spiritual, not economic or political.

Written by Mark Warren | Wednesday, January 11, 2023

We are deeply concerned by the crisis of young men dropping out of society. Despite so much bad news, we see many positives in the future. If men come together to support each other, this problem can and will correct itself. With the right support system, young men can achieve tremendous personal growth.    There’s a...

Three Reasons to Adopt PCAGA49’s Overture 15

Here are three reasons why it is wise and necessary for the PCA to adopt Overture 15.

Written by James Norris | Tuesday, January 10, 2023

The language of the Overture does not say that a man must no longer struggle with temptation or that he must be dishonest about his temptations. It states that officers may not “describe themselves as homosexual.” This is consistent with Paul’s affirmations that Christians are new creations, are to be unleavened, and are to consider...

The Decline of a Formerly Christian Empire

The collapse of Christianity will weaken the entire civilization.

Written by Calvin Robinson | Tuesday, January 10, 2023

“What kind of country do we want to be?” The liberals have been pushing for a secular society for a number of decades now, leaving behind our Christian foundations, and look at where that has got us. We’re at a crossroads: We must soon decide which values we want to adhere to and maintain. The... Continue Reading

Does the PCA Ordain Homosexuals? Well, “Yes, But” or “No, But”

The addition of Overture 15 is (1) appropriate (2) needed; (3) addresses an unavoidable issue; and (4) failing to approve it will perpetuate one problem and create another.

Written by James Bruce | Monday, January 9, 2023

When asked, “Does the PCA ordain homosexuals?” we cannot say, “We can neither confirm nor deny that the PCA ordains homosexuals.” We must either say, “Yes, the PCA ordains homosexuals, but men must claim celibacy from homosexual conduct in order to ordained,” or we will say, “No, but there may be men who count that...

Reasons for PCA Presbyteries to Vote Against Amending BCO 15 Regarding Commissions

Item 3 (Overture 25) would amend BCO 15 to allow judicial commissions to conclude cases without presbyteries having to vote to approve or not approve commission recommendations.

Written by Stephen O'Neill | Friday, January 6, 2023

In summary, these changes would make the PCA a less “grassroots Presbyterian” denomination. They would have the effect of making Presbyteries weaker—weaker in comparison to the General Assembly and weaker in relation to their own judicial commissions. They would concentrate power at “the top” of our denomination, and place important powers of presbytery into the... Continue Reading

Presumed Guilty: Reformed Evangelical Men and the Assumption of Systemic Abuse

How the “MeToo” movement poisoned the possibility for true justice in the church.

Written by Andy Webb | Friday, January 6, 2023

There is also the problem that when allegations of abuse are made, those who see abuse as endemic in that community tend to automatically assume that the allegations are automatically true, and view even a reasonable defense of the accused as the community corruptly attempting to protect guilty members of “the tribe.”   At a...

What the Puritans Can Teach Us about American Exceptionalism

Perhaps as we modern Americans experience a cynical hangover after the giddy confidence of the “unipolar moment,” revisiting the Puritans’ nuanced notion of what it means to be an exceptional people can bring needed perspective, and restrain us from falling for triumphalism or despair.

Written by Howe Whitman | Thursday, January 5, 2023

A true recovery of the Puritan legacy does not mean being blind to our national shortcomings; nor does it require shrinking from America’s grand aspirational character. To emulate the Puritans means cherishing lofty hopes about America’s promise, tempered by a humble readiness to repent in order that the national covenant between this new Israel and...

Equality Ad Absurdum

The pursuit of woke social justice is anathema to America’s flourishing.

Written by Robert C. Thornett | Thursday, January 5, 2023

In Plato’s Republic, social justice is about finding harmony among all the diverse elements of society to achieve The Good. By contrast, woke social justice brands certain segments of society “oppressors” and seeks to purge them, even as it mouths platitudes about seeking diversity. Woke social justice is also antithetical to justice in the classical sense...

A Superb Public Statement on Marriage, Sex, and Identity

This declaration adds something very significant to the public witness of the church.

Written by Simon Arscott | Wednesday, January 4, 2023

The declaration is packed with helpful lines of thought for preachers to plunder and start using in their preaching, for Christians to absorb into their thinking and impress upon their children, and for us to start using in our conversations with a world very, very confused and on this issue.   The Greater Love Declaration is a...

On Sadness In the PCA: A Response to TE LeCroy’s ‘Sad Day’

We should not allow wrongdoers to depart imagining themselves as victims rather than perpetrators; the fact stands against the PCA that it failed to punish wrongdoing effectively.

Written by Tom Hervey | Tuesday, January 3, 2023

The answer for the church is not to allow its property to be used to celebrate and encourage such a destructive social phenomenon but to persist in telling the truth that God has ordained a definite order for human life, and that all things which run counter to that ensnare people in destructive falsehood and...
