Revoice Gay-Straight Friends Planning a Life Together
Revoice rocked the Reformed world in 2018, introducing the first coming-out event that began normalizing homosexuality in the church. In 2020, they introduced the first coming-out of a gay-straight couple.
A “deep-dive” Revoice webinar entitled, “Better Together”: In this webinar we discover this gay-straight duo. It is there we discover why couple may be more descriptive than duo. Who are these men? The gay man is Art Pereira, a Student Ministry Director at Hope Presbyterian Church (PCA). His straight-friend is Nick Galluccio, a youth pastor... Continue Reading
The Values of a Post-Woke World
Four cardinal values to orient ourselves toward for the establishment of a post-Woke world.
If we continue fighting back—for pushing back is no longer enough—intelligently and firmly against the ideology of Critical Social Justice and the Woke movement it has spawned, we will find ourselves on the road to a post-Woke world, and it is not yet clear what that might look like. The fight against the ideology... Continue Reading
Significant Issues Portend Vigorous Debates At the 2021 PCA General Assembly
The issue is simply this: Will the PCA have “gay Christian” pastors and other church officers or not?
What is at stake? Many consider that the disposition of the judicial cases (which concern investigations and actions of Missouri Presbytery re: Johnson and Revoice doctrine) and the fate of the various related overtures will signal the PCA’s future course vis-à-vis the allowability of “gay Christian” or SSA officers and pastors. Tough times are... Continue Reading
The Cure for Hypocrisy
Of all the spiritual dangers to which Christ alerted His disciples, few of them outweigh His warnings concerning hypocrisy.
The key, then, to putting hypocrisy to death and fanning sincerity into flame is to orient our hearts toward godly simplicity—toward a pure, undivided, and singular commitment to God. Such a heart has one leading aim; one deliberate, unreserved desire; one great devotion to which everything else is subordinate. A heart ruled by a simplicity... Continue Reading
Owen Barfield’s “History, Guilt, and Habit”
Vague collective guilt leads to societal disorder and societal evils greater than the ones that originally caused the problems.
As an example of where society has gone terribly wrong, Barfield considers the issue of race, racism, and racialism. Because we have lost the humane, we see not the person (essence) but the color (the accidents) and, because we have lost the notion of sin, redemption, and forgiveness, we—as a society—feel varying degrees of guilt....

Motherhood as Vocation
I hope I and other moms can commit to this larger vision of our role as “culture shapers” who can hold our own beside PhDs and playwrights.
In every case there is the commonality of care-giving right alongside the uniqueness of each woman as a person. For some, their natural gifts as a teacher, administrator, chef, organizer or nurturer may align very easily with many of the roles motherhood requires. Yet, for those who, like me, have less of a natural inclination... Continue Reading
Trans Movement’s Normalization Keeps on Going with Another Sad Cover Story
Media coverage of this sort is designed to shape public opinion as much as gauge it.
Looking at the photo of Ellen “Elliot” Page on the cover of TIME Magazine, one does not get the impression that a beautiful transformation has taken place. She says she found herself; she looks very much lost. Instead, she looks like someone who has endured a tragedy, or perhaps someone who is currently living through... Continue Reading
Burdening Ourselves to Death
We are more informed than ever, and simultaneously more stressed out and outraged than ever.
God calls us to focus on what He has placed in front of us in our personal lives, families, and the church. If we are not neglecting these, and we have time left over, we are called to care about the needs of the community. However, we should never reverse the order. As Paul told... Continue Reading
Do You Love Black People?
If you love black people, you should hate critical race theory. If you love critical race theory, you’ll be tempted to hate people, especially black people who hate critical race theory.
God loves black people as much as he loves everyone else. That’s why he rebukes black people just as much as he rebukes everyone else. Christ shows no partiality. We should be more like him, and less like critical race theorists. The Bible is just as sufficient for teaching you how to love black people... Continue Reading
Yes, Some Things Are Black and White
Forget the 99 shades of grey – we need to again affirm truth.
Sure, we recognize that while the Bible is completely true and without error, we are not. We are fallen and finite, so we need care and diligence as we seek to rightly understand and apply God’s truth. But we are not left in endless doubt and skepticism. The Holy Spirit has been given to every believer... Continue Reading
