Just Say No to racial reconciliation, Please!
“For example, for a church to have a racial mix of whites and blacks in 2010 is as impressive as having whites and blacks play football together at the University of Alabama. Big deal.” New Christian initiatives to reconcile whites and blacks are 50 years too late and outdated. Pioneers like John Perkins and J.... Continue Reading
Where are William Wallace and Patrick Henry when you need them?
Yes, I know they’re dead. My question is, “Where are their kind?” That is, where are the men and women of our day who desire freedom and liberty for all, even if it means personal loss and sacrifice? Where are the patriots who are not bound by party affiliation, political pandering or extremist tendencies, but... Continue Reading
Of First Importance — The Cross and Resurrection at the Center
May the power of the cross and the victory of the empty tomb fill every pulpit, every pew, and every Christian heart — and may the Good News of the Gospel be received with joy by sinners in need of a Savior. The Christian faith is not a mere collection of doctrines — a bag... Continue Reading
From Wesley to Whitefield – A Pastor’s Journey to Reformed Theology
Why was God calling me to do something so radically different from anything I had ever done before? Was it all up to me? How would I know that God would provide for my family if I moved in faith? What would happen if we failed? In 2002, I had a plane ticket to fly... Continue Reading
WormTape and his gang: Panic sets in
Balaam’s: “Chief, Chief, have you heard about the uprising? Several underling leaders are going crazy?

A caterpillar Christology
“Darryl,” a 36-year-old Presbyterian minister who says he’s “progressive-minded,” told interviewers, “I reject the virgin birth. I reject substitutionary atonement. I reject the divinity of Jesus. I reject heaven and hell in the traditional sense, and I am not alone.” Darryl’s rejection of Christian truth qualifies him to join a growing community of “secret disbelief”... Continue Reading
Letter to the Editor – Response to “Democrats Exempt Conservative Christians”
In the article that Mr. Sharman writes, he claims at the end that any Christian can be exempt from the new health care law if they want to be — all they have to do is live a Christian lifestyle.

My Princeton Experience – “Human and Women’s Rights Under Sharia.”
Can he give me one example of one Muslim country where the rights of Muslims to openly leave their religion are protected and where a former Muslim can live in relative safety while openly practicing a different religion? On March 24, I gave a lecture at Princeton University sponsored by the Whig-Clio Society, the Tory... Continue Reading

Instead of the retaining the chancellor title, Santiago will be ordained as a minister of whichever religion UWM chooses. UW-Milwaukee is looking to the heavens to solve its financial woes.

Don’t Be Afraid
“Now these three abide: anger, outrage, and fear—and the greatest of these is fear.” That’s not in the Bible. But sometimes I wonder if I think it is. The United States House of Representatives just passed a health care reform bill that I and lots of other Christians opposed. Such legislation should concern us. There... Continue Reading
