Dad Who Wrote Scathing Letter to Brearley about Race Focus: ‘Someone had to’
He blasted the posh, all-girls Brearley School’s “cowardly and appalling lack of leadership [for] appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob.”
“If the administration was genuinely serious about ‘diversity,’ it would not insist on the indoctrination of its students, and their families, to a single mindset, most reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Instead, the school would foster an environment of intellectual openness and freedom of thought.” He criticized the school for gutting the traditional curriculum... Continue Reading
Losing Ourselves
The deepest and more fundamental shifts that have taken place in Western culture over the last several decades have not been in our definition of what’s right and what’s wrong. They’ve been in our definition of reality itself...
When who we are as human persons is completely disconnected from any design and from any creator, then the only thing there is left to us is whatever I express about myself. With this framework, when anything – whether it’s religious, moral, or social norms or even laws and public policies – gets in the... Continue Reading
On the Primacy of Embodiment, Against the Online Instructors
What view of the human person does online instruction tend to reinforce? Why does our language tell us that 'in-person' education is necessarily not online?
Our year-long experiment in social distancing has given us more acute and tragic reminders of this truth about our nature. Anyone who in the last year has been unable to attend a birth, baptism, birthday, graduation, engagement, wedding, death, or funeral in person can tell you that being there matters more than words can tell. Again, our... Continue Reading
Men and Women in the Church
“My overriding desire,” DeYoung says, “is to put into the hands of churches, leaders, and curious Christians a work that is intelligent and readable.”
One of Kevin DeYoung’s particular talents is explaining complicated subjects in a simple way, and that talent is on full display in this book. Those who read it will better understand the complementarian position and see how it is grounded in God’s Word. They will understand some of the contemporary challenges to that position and...

To Be Continued: The Unstoppable Mission of Jesus
As king, Jesus now reigns in the hearts of all who bow the knee to him.
The people in the book of Acts, including Paul, were clay pots. They were ordinary people. They were reliant upon the Spirit of God to continue the mission of God. Likewise, God has given us the necessary resources—the gospel and the Spirit of God. As you read the following pages, you will see how ordinary... Continue Reading
Bo Giertz – True Pastor and Insightful Writer
" if you think you are saved because you give Jesus your heart, you will not be saved. …"
“One does not choose a Redeemer for oneself, you understand, nor give one’s heart to Him. The heart is a rusty old can on a junk heap. A fine birthday gift, indeed! But a wonderful Lord passes by, and has mercy on the wretched tin can, sticks His walking cane through it and rescues it... Continue Reading
Dead to Sin Alive to God and Slaves to Righteousness
Genuine Christians are saved from the penalty of their sin and cleansed of its power through the washing of regeneration. What we must learn to do is live like it.
Christians do not have license to sin. God forbid that we should live that way. If we live that way we are slaves to sin. Christ died to free us from the penalty of our sin so how can we live in it? None of us are perfect. However, we must learn to live Spirit-filled... Continue Reading
Whose Commandments Are These? The Ten Words and the New Covenant
The law of Christ rather than the law of Moses constitutes our authority.
It isn’t wrong to say that nine of the Ten Commandments constitute God’s will for us since they are moral norms, but we see that they constitute God’s will from reading the whole covenantal storyline of Scripture and from placing them in their proper covenantal context. As Christians, we can’t simply cherry-pick the Ten Commandments... Continue Reading
Irreducible Complexity
It takes creative thought to design a system in which multiple parts will work interdependently to achieve a common goal.
Evolutionists may argue that all these systems evolved from simpler versions. But even the simplest system of its kind must have something like a heart to move the blood, blood to be moved, plasma to make the blood mobile, and some way of exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen from the environment. Each system requires at... Continue Reading
A Runner in a Race
As good as our life may be in this world, our best life is yet to come.
The Christian lives as the runner runs; he begins, continues, and concludes, with a glorious prize awaiting him at the end. We must keep this metaphor in mind, therefore, as we go about our day doing all things for the glory of God. In this, we gain the proper perspective for life and ministry, encouraged...
