Mankind’s agenda is to keep God out of the picture. You are to be true to yourself, as long as the self you are being true to resembles nothing like the self which God designed men and women to be. Yet the path to finding our true selves is found in the God we are... Continue Reading

It is time for Southern Baptist churches, led by God-fearing pastors, to show up, stand up, and speak up, and remind the elites and our erstwhile leaders that the seminaries, institutions, and agencies of the SBC belong to the churches. Those who lead them and work in them work for the churches. The trustees of... Continue Reading

God’s team ultimately wins. Victory is already assured. But in the ever-quickening pace to the final day, the world will seem to have the upper hand. Conservatives need to stand with Jack Phillips. Conservatives also need to be smart. When you start using the government to impose your values on others, the other side will... Continue Reading

Here’s  my claim: in Romans 9, Paul teaches the (Calvinist) doctrine of unconditional election—the teaching that God chooses to save some and not others, not based on anything in them (whether faith or fruit, present or foreseen), but based solely on his sovereign will and purpose. Evidence for this view comes in two steps: first,... Continue Reading

Religious people must be able to criticize the transformationist agenda in the public square. We live in a highly religious world, and America’s roots are in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Our society has also been enriched by religious diasporas from around the globe, bringing people who seek religious and other freedoms to our shores. It is wrong to... Continue Reading

We don’t have to bear the weight of our guilt because the blood of Christ has been shed to cover us! If it hadn’t been shed, we would have no defense. But, if we are not steeped in Gospel truths and preach these truths to ourselves everyday, then we are liable to listen to Satan’s... Continue Reading

In all cases, the ideologies of men are lifted up as the means by which Christians ought to model their life and practice. Sure, the Bible is important, but: it doesn’t allow us to remodel society; it doesn’t put people in the pews in large numbers; and it doesn’t always make us feel great about... Continue Reading

In a time when more than a few favored teachers sitting in the chair of Moses have taken a moral tumble, or have had their fleshly motives exposed, it’s worth remembering that neither morals nor motives actually make what is true false, any more than the good motives and sterling behavior of an Arian makes...

Our dedication to pursuing justice for the unborn should not be abandoned simply because we have been losing the fight for half a century. Each time a federal court blocks newly passed pro-life laws, it highlights once again how abortion precedents are not only unjust but often opposed by the public. We should keep passing...
