Challenging History-Making Days
How clever the evil one is; he penetrates the political, sexual morality, and scientific realms in order to blind and enslave mankind.
Here we have an inkling of the great obstacle facing western Christianity. How clever the evil one is; he penetrates the political, sexual morality, and scientific realms in order to blind and enslave mankind. Sadly, the Church itself does not stand unscathed in this attack. Fortunately, there is power to the truth, “Greater is He... Continue Reading
The Rise & Fall of the Presbycrats
Why the trajectory of the PCA was what it was and why it is shifting.
The ratification of the overtures would have been helpful and a key victory, but largely symbolic. In this sense the National Partnership was right: Overtures 23 and 37 are unnecessary (but they are neither unclear nor unloving). Everything required by these overtures is already set forth by the Westminster Standards. The problem has been an... Continue Reading
Rise Up, Man!
While there is a time for young elders “to keep silence,” there is also “a time to speak” (Ecclesiastes 3:7).
A relatively small band of progressives have declared war against the PCA, demanding greater conformity, not to our confessional standards but to a version of the world’s standard of human sexuality in which one’s identity is determined by the sum total of their lusts. Their efforts have been magnified by the National Partnership; a highly... Continue Reading
Courage During the Plague
Did the plague induce fear in people?
Fear may be powerful, but courage is called for all the same. During a pandemic, we are to keep our eye on the soul, for pandemics can harm the soul even more than the body. Perhaps more than anything, we need to recover a sense of horror at a culture that allows our fears to... Continue Reading
A Sheep Speaks: A Testimony to the National Partnership, Part Four
He who signs a document assents to the veracity thereof, and so the arguments of the Letter might be deemed your own, even if accepted by others as well.
You also say that “strangers have attacked strangers behind the safe confines of computers, news agencies, and conferences,” which “proliferates fear and distrust,” and that “there will always be people who are all about power.” In all of this I remind you that you hide yourselves behind confines safer than the things you mention here,...

Child Custody’s Gender Gauntlet
Transgender ideology has already achieved a powerful hold on our court system—and parents and children are paying the price.
This is gender ideology—the belief, not backed by any meaningful empirical evidence, that we all have an ineffable gender identity, knowable only to us. This identity has no observable markers, and it is immutable (until the moment we change our minds and reveal ourselves as “gender fluid,” of course). It is promoted by virtually every...

A Sheep Speaks: A Testimony to the National Partnership, Part Three
He who engages in denominational politics, regardless of his faction, must heed the danger of activism; getting bogged down with politicking adversely harms the common work of ministry.
And so also do some say that such people in our own midst experience this lust unchosen, that it is largely fixed and unlikely to ever dissipate in this life, and that it would be unfair to deprive them of participation in something that others are allowed to experience. You seem to accept this position,... Continue Reading
Social Injustice & Civil Wrongs
Critical race theory is coming to a school near you—to your high schools, to your middle schools, even to your elementary schools (the universities have already been thick with CRT for years).
There is a difference between CRT as an explanatory paradigm (remember, the “T” stands for “Theory”) and racism as a reality. Classically understood, racism is a kind of group bigotry. CRT, by contrast, looks at power structures in cultures to explain why that bigotry and the inequity it causes exist and how they operate within... Continue Reading
Compromise Comes into the Church
Can two continue to walk together if they are not in agreement?
In the same sense, why does a minority insist on allowing the false teaching of ordaining self-described homosexual men to be pastors and church officers in the PCA? Why don’t they simply seek ordination and service in a denomination that is already set up to welcome them? In 1967 the Presbyterian Church in the... Continue Reading
A Sheep Speaks: A Testimony to the National Partnership, Part Two
Apologize also for the offense you have caused your brethren and extol others to not follow in the way of your wrongdoing.
In your reaction against others in the denomination you have given yourselves to a form of organization and methods that are not acceptable, and now the only way that you can you remove the offense of your unjustified secret political machinations is by openly repenting of them. Write a letter and post it at A... Continue Reading
