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.

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Monday, February 21, 2022

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.

Written by Ryan Biese | Thursday, February 17, 2022

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).

Written by Jim McCarthy | Thursday, February 17, 2022

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?

Written by Hans Boersma | Thursday, February 17, 2022

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.

Written by Tom Hervey | Tuesday, February 15, 2022

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.

Written by Abigail Shrier | Tuesday, February 15, 2022

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.

Written by Tom Hervey | Monday, February 14, 2022

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).

Written by Greg Koukl | Monday, February 14, 2022

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?

Written by Richard Loper | Monday, February 14, 2022

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.

Written by Tom Hervey | Thursday, February 10, 2022

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
