Planning to Grow in the New Year

The changing of the calendar is always a good time to look back, take stock, give thanks, and look ahead.

Written by Joel M. Ellis | Thursday, January 1, 2026

Time marches forward, whether we use it well or not. Let us be faithful stewards of the time God has given us and make the new year and however much of it we are given a fruitful and edifying period of life with God in Christ.   Christmas Day is past, but Christmastide continues. For... Continue Reading

God, Our Great Motivator

God wants us to be encouraged.

Written by Pete Hurst | Thursday, January 1, 2026

Think about it; the Bible is full of encouragement; it’s full of motivation. Motivation to obey the Lord and be blessed. Motivation to believe the promises of God because they are true. Motivation to go forward and not be afraid because God is with us.   Some people make fun of those who listen to... Continue Reading

Tolerance and National Suicide

No culture can last without boundaries and limits.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Wednesday, December 31, 2025

The push for non-judgmentalism and tolerance and reckless acceptance of all things harms us all, and harms cultures and nations as well. Being free of all limits, constraints and boundaries may sound quite liberating, but in the end it simply and inevitably leads to servitude, and finally, to death.   That worldlings can greatly misunderstand...

Side B Christians Are Not Qualified for Ordination

Anyone seeking ordination as a church leader who continues to identify himself publicly as SSA and claims he qualifies to be ordained chooses friendship with the world while being an enemy of God.

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Wednesday, December 31, 2025

To put this into perspective, by insisting on identifying oneself with a specific sexual sin and to positively wear such terminology as “Gay” Christian or “same sex attracted” Christian” reveals a lack of shame of sinful passions, comfort with such passions, and embracing such passions. There are no other sins or sinful temptations that Christians... Continue Reading

Lamentable Slander

Responding to "A Call to Prayer & Lament"

Written by Charles Stover | Wednesday, December 31, 2025

A Call to Prayer & Lament shows no evidence of following Christ’s commands regarding offenses in Matthew 18, and it appears to be a means of prosecution by public appeal. In other words, this letter was not written in good-faith.   To the leadership of pcaprayerandlament.com, I remind you, unsubstantiated accusations violate the Ninth Commandment... Continue Reading

One Source of Greg Johnson’s Theology: Francis Spufford’s ‘Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense’

If Christianity is not objectively, historically, factually true, then we are doomed.

Written by Tom Hervey | Monday, December 29, 2025

I happen to be such a sheep, one who has come from darkness and is still imperfect in refraining from profanity (hence my opposition to it). Let me then ask, especially those of you in the PCA who allowed this to go on and those in the EPC who think it would honor God to... Continue Reading

Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

Thank God for your wins and keep winning for His glory.

Written by Pete Hurst | Thursday, December 25, 2025

Sometimes we enjoy great success (a win, victory) in some endeavor: but someone comes along to point out a negative (a defeat) instead of being happy for the win. My friend, we shouldn’t let these people bother us.   To “snatch victory from the jaws of defeat” means that, in spite of the fact that... Continue Reading

The Frenzy Over Christian Nationalism

I’m not particularly happy with the term Christian Nationalist; I prefer “a return to Christendom” or simply “the restoration of a Christian Nation.”

Written by Larry Ball | Friday, December 19, 2025

My concern is that some important people have created an unhealthy picture of Christian Nationalism. In their zeal to protect their congregants, they have detached religion form the state.  They have in essence detached the word Christian from the word Nation. Yes, we must separate church and state, but no one can separate religion or... Continue Reading

Will Tommy Robinson Put ‘Christ Back into Christmas’?

Maybe we should all be seeking to do what we can to ensure that the real Christ really is the centre of our Christmas.

Written by David Robertson | Friday, December 19, 2025

Here is the shocking truth of Christmas: Jesus Christ is more divisive than Tommy Robinson. Christ is the stumbling block and folly (1 Corinthians 1:23). He is the baby who was born to die for our sins. And He is the King who will return to earth as Judge and Saviour.   On Saturday 13... Continue Reading

The Clash Of Civilizations On Bondi Beach

We are at war, and it’s time we admit what’s at stake.

Written by R. Albert Mohler, Jr. | Wednesday, December 17, 2025

We face the fact that the threat from Islam is real. The reality is that the vast majority of Muslims around the world, quite consistent with their own convictions, do not want to join the civilizational project of the West, including the national project of the United States. Just in case you wonder, they say... Continue Reading
