How Much Entertainment Is Too Much?

We must be the most entertained generation in all of human history

Written by Tim Challies | Saturday, February 11, 2017

“The Bible also reminds us that we are accountable for the forms our entertainment takes. It must only ever be pure and sinless. While we may take a rest from work, we must never take a rest from holiness. What we watch or read or play must further our walk.”   We must be the... Continue Reading

Abortion’s Unintended Survivors

What of children born alive as an unintended result of botched abortions?

Written by Chelsen Vicari | Wednesday, February 8, 2017

In her own words, Ohden brings a formidable testimony against abortion as she outlines the hurt and inner pain she dealt with as a teenager trying to cope with the knowledge she was so unwanted by her biological family, they attempted to end her life. She believes now that she developed post-traumatic stress reaction to the revelation of her beginnings as well as survivor’s guilt that she lived and so many others were destroyed by abortion. Her depression developed into anorexia, bulimia, alcohol abuse, and sexual promiscuity.

“I Got Gay Married. I Got Gay Divorced. I Regret Both.”

Gay unions have fundamentally redefined marriage

Written by Denny Burk | Tuesday, February 7, 2017

“I appreciate Maran’s candor in this article. I do think it is revealing. I suspect that many of those who marched for legal gay marriage in our country weren’t really that concerned about adding traditional marriage norms to gay relationships—norms of permanence, covenant, fidelity, etc.”   Meredith Maran had an interesting essay in The New...

No Little Women: Know What We’ve Got Before She’s Gone

Indeed, woman has a God-given way about her that is self-evident

Written by Grant Van Leuven | Tuesday, February 7, 2017

“It is abnormal for men, as effeminate as many are today, to actually be feminine, and frankly, impossible.  What woman has inside her can only be cheaply imitated by a man to another man.  She alone can shine as female from within.  Only Hannah can cry and sing over motherhood.  Only Abigail can slow down...

The Apology to the LGBT Community That Needs an Apology

I apologize for Christians who have given the impression that to love someone means you cannot also tell them what they are doing is wrong.

Written by Tim Barnett | Monday, February 6, 2017

I’m deeply sorry for any Christian who proclaims another Gospel—not that there is another Gospel—that leaves us in our sin. This is not love. This is not compassion. Yes, God loves us just as we are. But He doesn’t want to leave us where we are. God wants us—all of us—to turn from our sin. The biblical writers call this repentance. God is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance (2 Pet. 3:9).

I Have Deleted Politics From My Digital Life

What is going on in Washington seems to have become the core around which everything rotates in this digital merry-go-round of information and opinions.

Written by Chris Martin | Monday, February 6, 2017

I want to be completely ignorant of what my Twitter people think about politics, and I want you to know as little about what I think as possible. Honestly, politics have become more divisive than unifying, even among friends and co-laborers in Christ, and the fight really just isn’t worth it to me anymore. Thankfully, it’s not a mandatory fight, online anyway. You can just dismiss yourself; so I did.

Real Men Don’t Virtue Signal

Virtue signaling is the new self-righteousness. And self-righteousness is for sissies. Real men don’t need to virtue signal, real men just do things.

Written by C. R. Wiley | Sunday, February 5, 2017

Virtue signaling is the conspicuous expression of moral values by an individual done primarily to enhance their standing within a social group. The term was first used in signaling theory, to describe any behavior that could be used to signal virtue – especially piety among the religious faithful.    Virtue signaling is the new self-righteousness. And self-righteousness is for sissies.  Every once in... Continue Reading

Final Witness

I’ve decided to put my wishes on the record before it’s too late

Written by David Kjos | Saturday, February 4, 2017

There will be no “he was a good man” or “celebration of life” nonsense. I am not a good man, and celebration of life funerals are for those who have no hope in eternity and wish to drown out that noise with the best alternative they have. Christians ought not celebrate at the closing of... Continue Reading

An Open Letter to My Liberal Friends

What could be more selfish than the rhetoric of the pro-choice movement?

Written by Solveig Gold | Saturday, February 4, 2017

“And so I spent yesterday scrolling through your photos, coming to the painful realization that nearly every woman I know is not only pro-choice—I’ve known that for years—but proudly pro-choice: so proud that you will happily parade your pro-choiceness all over the world and proclaim it on all of your social media pages, as if...

Greater Age Brings Greater Responsibility

Throughout the Bible, God associates aging with responsibility

Written by Tim Challies | Saturday, February 4, 2017

“With aging comes the responsibility of maturity. No matter our age, it’s our responsibility to act that age. No matter how old we are or how long we have been Christians, we need to grow up and keep growing up.”   Aging is a universal reality in this world, for as time progresses, we progress...
