Defending Door-to-Door and Open Air Evangelism

A rejoinder to the article on “City to City Evangelism” that appeared on Ref21.

Written by Al Baker | Thursday, July 18, 2019

I take exception, however, with Nick’s assessment that door-to-door evangelism is not for today, that it was probably not taught by Jesus, and that open air preaching was unique, reserved for “the intertestamental period which was a transitional period during which the New Covenant church was being established among unreached people…”   I first met...

The Cracks in the Edifice of Transgender Totalitarianism

The transgender revolution is happening without any credible scientific evidence to support it. The concept of changing one’s biological sex is nonsense, as sex is determined by unalterable chromosomes.

Written by Jane Robbins | Tuesday, July 16, 2019

The transgender castle that radicals have constructed by sheer force of will is built on shifting sand without supports of any kind. The wave that will sweep it away is gaining strength. May the time come soon when we will all say, with observers of past hysterias, “How could we have believed that?”   “What... Continue Reading

Papal Paganism’s Kiss of Death

Pope Francis is walking away from most forms of historic Roman Catholicism, taking countless followers with him.

Written by Peter Jones | Tuesday, July 16, 2019

I use the word apostasy deliberately. Apostasy means a complete “standing away from,” an abandonment of essential truth. In three areas, the Pope is leading the Catholic Church into areas of doctrinal and practical heresy that go far beyond any they have promulgated in previous history—in the areas of homosexuality, of interfaith relations with Islam,...

Can Broad and Narrow Complementarians Coexist in the SBC?

Paul grounds his prohibition in that divine design, “For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve” (1 Tim. 2:13).

Written by Denny Burke | Thursday, July 11, 2019

Narrow Complementarianism” teaches that headship applies narrowly to ordination and to marriage. “Broad Complementarianism” teaches that headship reflects a comprehensive set of differences between male and female that have broad implications for our lives together in the church, in the home, and in society at large   Tom Schreiner is a world class New Testament...

Cultural Magisterium or Biblical Magisterium?

The culture has unabashedly committed itself to eradicating the sanctity of marriage, the sanctity of life, the sanctity of family, the sanctity of sexuality, and the sanctity of gender.

Written by Harry Reeder | Wednesday, July 10, 2019

So unashamedly let us proclaim the Gospel to a culture seeking to shame us into silence, while it shamelessly embraces evil, calls evil good, and good evil. To a culture that in vanity attempts to remove the shame of sin, we must speak the Gospel which alone can remove not only the shame but also... Continue Reading

Sometimes We Have to Ask: “Can We All Just Get Along?”

Can promoters of Revoice and confessional Presbyterians coexist in the same denomination?

Written by Jason Wallace | Tuesday, July 9, 2019

Coexistence didn’t work.  Liberals cried for tolerance until they had enough power to demand that everyone agree with them.  The PCUSA now ordains transvestites, non-gender-binaries, and open atheists, but there is one position they will not tolerate – – anyone who questions women’s ordination.    In “Revoice, the PCA, and a Way Forward?” Pastor Todd...

Celibate but Compromised “Gay Christianity” Pushes into Conservative Churches

The “gay but celibate” movement has started to drown out voices like Butterfield’s because activists have deftly exploited the fears of Christians who don’t want to be called haters.

Written by Wendy Wilson | Monday, July 8, 2019

That the “gay but celibate” movement has made so many inroads with such a morally compromised agenda reflects the degree to which far too many conservative Christians have been emotionally manipulated to see LGBT people as victims who must be treated with special sensitivity, even if that means giving celibate “gay Christians” exemptions to biblical...

Being on Alert for the Demonic in the Mundane

We have to examine carefully what we’re seeking to achieve through our entertainment.

Written by J. V. Fesko | Saturday, July 6, 2019

Despite all of our modern pretensions to advancement, even though 1,500 years have passed since Augustine’s day, our so-called evolved society still has bloodlust and regularly lathers its hands in violence as a form of entertainment. Yes, our spectacle entertainments have slick advertising and shiny wrappers, but beneath this layer of respectability we find the... Continue Reading

What Makes America Great?

Alexis de Tocqueville: Unlike other nations that were defined by ethnicity, geography, common heritage, social class, or hierarchal structures, America was a nation of immigrants bound together by a shared commitment to the republican principles of individual liberty, equality, personal responsibility, and laissez faire economics.

Written by Regis Nicoll | Thursday, July 4, 2019

Steinrucken bristles over the long history of failures of rationally-based ideologies to make good on their utopian promises, or to provide a viable substitute for religion, in general, and Christianity, in particular. Steinrucken makes the astonishing admission that Christianity is the “guarantor of our political and legal system” because it is “a moral force independent... Continue Reading

Imagine There’s No Heaven? The Only Way is UP!

Our trouble is that if we only exist in the horizontal plane we are not looking UP to the only One who can pronounce what is virtuous, good and true.

Written by Paul Yuelett | Tuesday, June 25, 2019

We are living in desperately sad, bad and mad times.  We are witnessing a breakdown in human relationships, in trust, loyalty, truth and cohesion, at every level.  Why is this?  Because we have lost the awareness of the ‘up’ – that there is a God who is above us, who is greater than us, who...
