“When conflict arises, my first instinct is to reinforce my own relative innocence while exaggerating my spouse’s guilt. My wounded pride wants to be soothed with the salve of self-righteousness. But self-righteousness is no solution at all. It merely fans the flame of hurt into an inferno of anger and cares, not caring whom it... Continue Reading

Note the inclusive language on the website-“gay, lesbian, LGBT Christians.” My friends, must I state the obvious? Practicing homosexuals are no more Christians than are practicing fornicators, adulterers, drunkards, swindlers, or thieves (1 Cor.6:9, 10). There is no such thing as LGBT, gay, lesbian Christians. There is no such thing as a Christian drug dealer,... Continue Reading

“The concept of the black race and the white race originated with the Enemy himself. Just as he sowed seeds of doubt in the garden of Eden with his “hath God really said,” he has continued through the ages to offer a lie in the place of God’s truth. His attack has been anything but... Continue Reading

Pastor Stanley does not approach the unbeliever like Pastor Paul on Mars Hill who unashamedly proclaims the truth of creation (Acts.17:24, 25), of the historicity of Adam (26), of the importance of image-less worship (29), of the depth of humanity’s sinfulness and of God’s judgment through the resurrected Christ (30, 31). Most of these doctrines... Continue Reading

To be clear, simply removing guns from society will not fix our problems. Britain, one of the world’s most secular nations, has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world, and yet London’s murder rate is higher than that of New York. When laws were passed preventing Londoners who want to hurt others... Continue Reading

Dr. Cornelius Van Till alluded to this years ago.  As the world becomes epistemologically self-conscious, the antithesis between the Christian and the world will become more profound.  As the world becomes more consistent with their presuppositions, they will turn on Christ with a vengeance. Since we as Christians represent Christ on earth, they will turn... Continue Reading

For some of us, the idea of finding time to rest feels impossible, even if it’s for God. How can God command you to take a day off when you’re already trying so hard to do all the other things He’s given to you? It’s like Pharoah forcing the Israelites to make the same amount... Continue Reading

What about my pain-pleasure culture? What voice, for example, do millennials have speaking inside their heads? Not an inner lawyer, not an inner grandmother. I think the inner voice of the millennial is an inner therapist. And what does the inner therapist say? “Go for it, you’re worth it, it feels good.”   At St... Continue Reading

“It would be easy to think of saving as a purely selfish activity. That can indeed be the case —we need only read about the rich fool in Luke 12— but it doesn’t have to be. Saving honors God because it rightly values money as a gift that he has given to us (James 1:16–17).”... Continue Reading

I give a lot of credit to the pro-life movement for teaching conservative Christianity the value of this rights-based public rhetoric. The pro-life movement adopted the right-to-life rhetoric quite early, naming their central organization the National Right to Life Committee in 1968. The Catholics were the first to adopt this rights-based framework in their opposition... Continue Reading
