In their quest to gain approval in the church, supporters minimize their affirmation of homosexual sexual relations and focus on a claim to practice celibacy. At the same time, they openly identify with practicing homosexuals by continuing to support the LGBTQ+ ideology. This stratagem is an intent to be found acceptable and approved.  However, the...

Apologist Frank Turek presented the gospel in doctrinal detail, right down to penal substitutionary atonement. In His righteousness, the Father demanded an innocent and perfect sacrifice for sin, and the Father sent the Son to die for sinners on the cross, the perfect substitute. This same Christ rose from the grave, raised by the Father.... Continue Reading

The important thing to realize about cars, churches, people, and so much else—and the key to truly enjoying them—is to set aside the desire to have it all. It’s to stop longing for perfection and instead contentedly settle for imperfections. Every person is a whole person, an entire person that is made up of goods... Continue Reading

Several facts evince that Charlie Kirk strove to be the sort of friend who speaks difficult, but healing words. To begin, he kept engaging the secularists and progressives with whom he disagreed as one who had sincere hope for them.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is not about politics, democracy, free speech, a constitutional republic, communication skills, or the lack of love or respect for one another. It’s even greater than Charlie Kirk. It’s about the law of God which reflects the nature of God. God hates abortion, homosexuality, homosexual marriage, sex outside of binary... Continue Reading

We cannot allow evil to draw us into folly. To do so would be to let one act of evil multiply into many. Instead, we must show that wisdom is possible—that the disciplined spirit can still build, and that Christ’s people will not be ruled by rage but by hope. The choice is plain: the...
