5 Uncomfortable Truths Every Parent (and Church) Should Know About Male Child Abusers

While we're watching for obvious predators, the real threats, according to this research, are often hiding in plain sight.

Written by Akos Balogh | Wednesday, July 16, 2025

The data shows male abusers are nearly three times more likely to work in child-focused roles compared to other men. They understand that working with children provides three crucial elements: access, trust, and opportunity. To put it bluntly, the person most likely to harm your child or grandchild isn’t the stranger you’re worried about—it’s the... Continue Reading

The Directory for Public Worship and Worship at the 52nd General Assembly of the PCA

The Presbyterian Church in America at its 2025 General Assembly approved the formation of a study committee to consider the adoption of a “Directory for Public Worship” with full constitutional authority.

Written by Terry Johnson | Friday, July 11, 2025

Presbyterianism may be said to rest on a three-legged stool (thank you to T. David Gordon for this analogy). One leg is our doctrine. Another leg is our form of government. The third is our worship. Our worship is an expression of our doctrine. It arises out of our doctrine. We worship as we do... Continue Reading

The Classroom Coup: How Public Education Replaced Parents and Hijacked Discipleship

Christian parents urgently need to reclaim their God-given authority in raising and discipling their children.

Written by Virgil Walker | Friday, July 11, 2025

We are not fighting a curriculum. We are fighting a rival religion. One that has catechized generations. If you’re a father, act like a watchman. If you’re a mother, stand like a warrior. We don’t retreat—we rebuild.   Summary Highlight: Public education is not neutral—it’s a rival religion. This article exposes its ideological foundations, its... Continue Reading

The Death Culture of the UK

UK legislation promises to fully fund state-sanctioned suicide.

Written by Stephen McAlpine | Friday, July 11, 2025

Who is to say that you should not be allowed to kill yourself—approved by the government and in all likelihood organised by and paid for by the government—for whatever reason you so desire? After all, isn’t that the logical extension of a “You Do You” culture?   The Death Cultures UK legislators love death. What... Continue Reading

Resist Subtle “Same-Sex Attraction” Terminology

“Same-sex attraction” terminology is currently taking precedence over “gay” or “homosexual.”

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Wednesday, July 9, 2025

Note the important word missing here: “lust.” The term is definitely an understatement to soften biblically sinful behavior, emotions, sexual drives, and passions. This is important to understand because it hides the sin God hates and has communicated this with the harshest of terms (Leviticus 18: 22, Romans 1: 26-28).   Where will it end?  God’s...

The Priority of Renewal and Mission

The mission of the PCA must first seek to be transformed in mind to a God-centered focus of Scripture.

Written by David C. Massee | Wednesday, July 9, 2025

The eternal truth of God is the antidote for overcoming the ever deceptive philosophies of men, and to keep the first commandment the first commandment. This biblical priority of Scripture develops a theocentric faith for the renewal, and then the mission of the church. To truly uphold the mission of loving our neighbor, the PCA... Continue Reading

Your Sermon Doesn’t Need AI

Four reasons you should limit the use of AI in sermon preparation.

Written by Andrew Noble | Wednesday, July 9, 2025

Ultimately, a pastor must ask himself and his elders: Is my use of GenAI ethical? Is it plagiarism? Is it stunting my growth or producing unintended consequences? Does it contribute to the dehumanization of the gathered assembly? Might it cause division? Those are the questions we must ask. Because no matter the tool, no matter... Continue Reading

Real-World Consequences for the Porn Industry

Society needs a system update on how we think about virtual porn crime.

Written by Shane Morris | Wednesday, July 9, 2025

Christians must recognize and make the case that the problem isn’t merely abusive or nonconsensual porn. It’s porn. Only a cultural transformation that goes deeper than mere consent—that offers a positive, God-honoring vision for sexuality and family—will be able to uproot this evil.   If a man exposed himself to children on a street corner,...

DeYoung, Decorum, & Doug Wilson

Wilson provocatively questioned whether decorum should have been the governing factor in the Assembly.

Written by Scott Cook | Wednesday, July 9, 2025

We need to stand against the winds of culture and speak clearly to issues of the day. But we cannot let how something “looks” to those inside or outside the church dictate our faith or practice. Who cares how a moderator’s ruling “looks?” Was it according to Scripture, the BCO, and Robert’s Rules? Those are... Continue Reading

It’s Been Five Years and the Time is Right: An Earnest Appeal to the Authors of 2020’s Heinous Killings Statement at ByFaith

It is now five years since an anonymous group of Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) agency heads and permanent committee coordinators issued a statement on “heinous killings”

Written by Tom Hervey | Tuesday, July 8, 2025

For now it is enough to see that the fevered outbreak it got caught up in has lost much of its momentum and been shown to be the egregious bit of mass hysteria and folly that some always knew it was. The people who chanted ‘silence is violence’ (a malicious, coercive slander) actually contributed to... Continue Reading
