In order to fully support the pro-life cause, we must facilitate the meaningful and healthy development of those young lives who have escaped this mass genocide of the unborn. These most helpless of people need justice, and that depends on each and every one of us, in our own small way, reaching out to them,... Continue Reading

Social values fail to bring about racial reconciliation. Today’s call for full racial equality and justice is full of “cannon fodder.” Whites are told what they need to do to makes things right. Good faith efforts are made. Then what? The goalposts are moved. Evangelical leaders have signed numerous pronouncements and resolutions denouncing discrimination past... Continue Reading

I would say in praise of the Nashville Statement, is they got it right when they defined the root cause of transgression as our “self-conception.” Our self-conception is an existential – and ultimately meaningless – conception, especially to those who affirm the existence of a sovereign God. What really matters – ontologically – in our... Continue Reading

The preaching of the Gospel always contains the bad news of sinful reality, but it is not a Gospel at all if it doesn’t have “good news.”  The Gospel, the real Gospel of Christ, is not true to itself if all it does is stick people with guilt and leaves it there.  This is not... Continue Reading

The problem is not with the Nashville Statement. It is with the Bible, since the statement only reaffirms what the Bible clearly teaches, namely that: 1) God made humans male and female; 2) marriage, as intended by God, is the lifelong union of a man and a woman; 3) homosexual practice is always sinful in...

Views of marriage that see childbearing as its main purpose are ultimately reductionist. They fail to take into account all the purposes for which marriage was ordained, and many of them end up misrepresenting the reasons that women were created. I cannot possibly speak to the circumstances of every childless married couple. Some may well... Continue Reading

The Nashville Statement clearly places in public view the biblical teaching on sexuality in a time of enormous sexual experimentation and ideological confusion. To be specific, we are now seeing two areas of human life merging, namely sexuality and spirituality. On the one hand, the West is adopting ancient Eastern paganism, which is full of...

The Tenneses join a growing list of florists, photographers, filmmakers, and cake bakers who have lost a portion of their livelihood for upholding a Biblical definition of marriage. Last May, Alliance Defending Freedom filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the Tenneses, stating their religious views have no bearing on their involvement in the market... Continue Reading
