So what will be revealed if vast swathes of Protestants do not return to physical church when COVID finally settles down? Surely that the theology of preaching as God’s confrontational presence in and through proclamation has at some point been supplanted in the minds of many by a notion that it is merely a transmission...

For all the talk of “cultural transformation” and “redeeming the culture” and “taking back America” what Dias found is a cultural and religious minority practicing nothing less than Realpolitik, which the Oxford Dictionary of English defines as “a system of politics or principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations.” This means that for all the...

While there is no denying the historical realities of slavery and segregation, and while the present day problems facing black communities in our land are widely known, these things do not in themselves prove that there is systemic racial injustice in America today.  Nevertheless, the antiracist movement now holds so much sway in our culture...

The church does need to repent. But repentances that are oriented toward the world rather than God—and reflective not of the whole counsel of God but of the immediate moral priorities of this present age—seem designed to enhance our status in the world rather than truly abase us before a holy God. This is especially... Continue Reading

To call oneself a gay Christian calls attention to the importance of being same-sex attracted.  Why is it so important to self-identity by an admittedly sinful desire?  1 Corinthians 6:9-11 clearly teaches that unrighteous desires and behaviors no longer identify us once we are in Christ.  This is not to say, of course, that Christians...

This culture is not that of the Founding Fathers or that of the 1950s, which some would like to recover. It is a culture radically transformed by the recent invasion and adoption of pagan religions and infused by Jungian psychology, which is purposefully and specifically committed to the destruction of biblical faith.     In...

So, now I’ve written well over 8000 words on the stupidest topic I could possibly have imagined ever having to write about, but it matters—and there’s a point to take away from all this. It is that postmodernism, particularly in the hands of the ideology of Critical Social Justice, is not at all interested in... Continue Reading

Any and every solution offered to our land that does not begin with and focus upon the Lord Jesus as the only hope for breaking down dividing walls of hostility – any such action, public policy, legislative agenda, protest, or destruction – will only serve to bring more disappointment, disillusionment, and conflict. Only in Jesus... Continue Reading

This is a small thing, maybe, but it’s an example of media ignorance about religion, bordering on bigotry. Bigotry, in the sense that a journalist for a national publication is holding a Christian player up as a bad example, while making no effort to understand why a believing Christian might be uncomfortable kneeling for anything...
