Defeating the Culture of Death

We don’t need more gun control. We need morality, religion, community—and the gallows.

Written by Karl Spence | Saturday, June 11, 2022

If morality points toward the gallows for murderers, what of that other pillar of a constitutional republic, religion? What does religion, particularly the Christian religion, have to say about it? Let me just get out of the way and let Christians speak for themselves.   Here we go again. Wasn’t it just last week we... Continue Reading

The Case for Recent Creation

Theologically and pastorally, the doctrine of recent creation turns out to be surprisingly important.

Written by Dean Davis | Saturday, June 11, 2022

We find that recent creation is both important and reasonable. Let us therefore believe and proclaim what God has said. This is will strengthen the faith of the Church, energize her Gospel witness, strike an effectual blow at the dominant intellectual idol of our age (cosmic evolution), and give real hope to earnest seekers of...

Response to Tom Hervey’s ‘Reflections on the Statement by the PCA Coordinators and Presidents’

Some of the assumptions lead me to believe that more research and careful listening is needed.

Written by Chris Bryans | Saturday, June 11, 2022

What Mr. Hervey also means by the “separation of law and gospel” is as unclear to me as some of the issues of the Statement seem to be to him. How the separation of law and gospel relates to the issue at hand is also a puzzle to me.  The same statement, “You shall love... Continue Reading

A New Proposed Overture 23 Before the PCA General Assembly.

The proposed Overture 23 fits the flow of BCO chapter 16 thematically, linguistically and logically.

Written by Bryant Hansen | Friday, June 10, 2022

I favor what is numbered Overture 23. It fits the flow of chapter 16 thematically, linguistically and logically.  A particular strength of Overture 23 is that it addresses the current error (calling oneself a gay/SSA/homosexual Christian); yet it also addresses any type of error where church officers may identify with other specific sins that could...

You WILL Comply!

June in the pagan world is “Pride Month,” when corporations and governments far and wide are required to declare their allegiance to the Rainbow Flag.

Written by Eric Sammons | Friday, June 10, 2022

Years ago, when the “gay rights” movement demanded more and more concessions, you’d often hear their activists say, “Why are you opposed to gay rights? This won’t impact your life in any way.” Of course, they don’t even try to say that anymore, as every one knows it’s a lie. There are no longer calls... Continue Reading

Absentee Fathers, Not Guns, are the Problem

A father who doesn’t value his child’s life is teaching his child a person’s life isn’t valuable.

Written by Samuel Sey | Friday, June 10, 2022

Guns aren’t the problem. Stricter gun laws aren’t the solution. Absentee fathers are the problem. Good fathers are the solution. The vast majority of violent boys—including school shooters are fatherless. Until we start taking fatherlessness more seriously and restore the nuclear family as the standard for healthy families, we will continue to live in a more... Continue Reading

Does God Care What We Wear at Church?

Should Dress Divide?

Written by Bruce Lowe | Thursday, June 9, 2022

In Revelation 19:8, we are told that it is not our physical cloths that Jesus sees, but our righteous deeds. The righteous acts of the saints are the clothes of the Church. So with every motive of love that is exercised in choosing what to wear, whether casual or formal, we are putting on the true... Continue Reading

“Groomer”: An Empty Slur for Pro-LGBT Teachers, or Based in Reality?

At least 135 teachers and teachers’ aides have already been arrested in 2022 in America for child-related sex crimes, ranging from child porn possession to rape.

Written by Jonathon Van Maren | Tuesday, June 7, 2022

“Educator sexual abuse is a major problem that largely gets ignored because it’s so uncomfortable to talk about. While a very small fraction of educators and school employees prey on the children in their care, one bad actor can do damage to many students.”   (LifeSiteNews) – There has been quite a bit of debate...

Even Unfair Criticism Can Be Right

Churches are being ripped apart by politics, as part of the turmoil and realignment resulting from the "negative world."

Written by Aaron M. Renn | Tuesday, June 7, 2022

There’s nothing wrong with being a conservative or a Republican. But churches shouldn’t be in the politics business. Some things you can’t avoid. Churches had to choose whether or not to shut down during Covid, whether or not to require masks, etc. Abortion is a political matter, but there is a legitimate theological angle to...

The Missing Piece

Shortly after she was born, our daughter was transported to a children’s hospital and diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder caused by missing her 15th chromosome, medically speaking, “missing a piece.”

Written by Matthew Lee | Monday, June 6, 2022

God has already taught our family much. Our daughter’s rare condition does not make her enigmatic, but precious (Genesis 41:38; Proverbs 31:10). Her missing segments don’t make her incomplete, but our family would be incomplete without her. She is and ever will be, as her middle name Dorothy suggests, a gift from God.   A... Continue Reading
