Evolution Just Got Harder to Defend

A new fossil discovery makes it even tougher for Darwinists to explain the origin of life.

Written by Eric Metaxas | Sunday, September 25, 2016

Dr. Stephen Meyer explains in his book “Signature in the Cell” why this may be Darwinism’s Achilles heel. In order to begin evolution by natural selection, you need a self-replicating unit. But the cell and its DNA blueprint are too complicated by far to have arisen through chance chemical reactions. The odds of even a... Continue Reading

Even the Government’s Smartest Lawyers Can’t Figure Out Religious Liberty

Written by Emma Green | Sunday, September 25, 2016

Religious liberty is more fundamental to Constitutional principles than non-discrimination, Kirsanow argued. “Religious liberty is an undisputed constitutional right,” he wrote. “With the exception of racial nondiscrimination principles embedded in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, nondiscrimination principles are statutory or judicially created constructs.”   It took the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights three years...

Free Church Minister Accuses Humanists Of ‘Fundamental Dishonesty’ Over Religious Observance Opt-Out Campaign

Rev. David Robertson says the Humanist Society of Scotland wants to ‘get rid of Christianity’

Written by David Robertson | Sunday, September 25, 2016

The Humanists/Atheists/Secularists really can’t grasp why we would want any other education system than theirs.  They don’t seem to realise that we pay taxes too and we don’t want our taxes paying for an education system which indoctrinates our children against what they are taught at home.  That is a basic human right which they...

Spent: On Gospel Legacies And The Surprising Ugliness of Death

Death is disgusting. No heroic or poignant last words. No gentle slipping away into peacefulness.

Written by Tim Thornborough | Saturday, September 24, 2016

“There is incredible sadness in seeing a life that is spent. But enormous joy and gratitude for being just one of the people who had received so much from a life well spent—for Jesus and the gospel.”   I sat beside the bed, holding his hand. Tears streaming down my face. Words catching in my... Continue Reading

Breakfast Leftovers

There’s more church history in your breakfast to chew on than you may have realized.

Written by James Faris | Friday, September 23, 2016

As you savor your bacon and rejoice in God’s goodness, the greasy goodness ought to remind you of the still-greater truth the Lord taught Peter. God taught Peter through a breakfast menu that God shows no partiality and that Gentiles, as well as Jews, were to be brought into the church. Church history changed that... Continue Reading

Is the Bible Foundational to Christianity? Engaging with Andy Stanley

What is the cure that Stanley has offered? In brief, Christians need to stop basing their faith on the Bible.

Written by Michael Kruger | Wednesday, September 21, 2016

The sermon itself was deeply confusing and left many questions unanswered about the proper role of God’s Word in our lives. Unfortunately, much of the confusion in the sermon was driven by Stanley’s commitment to a particular methodology about how to reach non-Christians.  For whatever set of reasons, Stanley has become convinced that the Bible...

Correcting An Error

No, we are not ready to move away from the Trinity controversy yet

Written by Todd Pruitt | Wednesday, September 21, 2016

To advance doctrinal error is sin. It matters not if the guilty party did not know he was teaching error. To do so out of malice or ignorance is sin. It is impious, for instance, to foist common analogies upon the majestic and mysterious Godhead. It is true that, being in the image of God,... Continue Reading

Don’t Tick Me Off

In our culture, we have learned to substitute a whole host of non-biblical language to avoid calling our behavior sin

Written by Mark Altrogge | Wednesday, September 21, 2016

We must confess our sins in order to receive forgiveness and cleansing. But if we don’t identify our anger as sin, we won’t confess it or find forgiveness for it or overcome it. Who is going to ask forgiveness for “venting”? Who is going to say, “Father, forgive me for letting off steam?” Who is... Continue Reading

Why Christians Need to Stop Apologizing and Saying I’m Sorry

We should never justify sin in our lives and it simply doesn’t cut it to say we’re sorry.

Written by Jordan Standridge | Wednesday, September 21, 2016

Asking for forgiveness is not simple. It is embarrassing and it is uncomfortable. Because it is something that ought to be done face to face, it is so easy to minimize and to not take seriously. Yet the Lord calls us to be humble and calls us to recognize sin in our lives and to... Continue Reading

5 Ways to Help Your Depressed Friend

Those who struggle with depression can sometimes find it challenging to describe exactly what they’re experiencing to people around them.

Written by Allyson Todd | Wednesday, September 21, 2016

Depression isn’t always a cause of sinfulness or lack of belief; it’s a paralyzing condition that can be managed. It cannot, however, be dealt with like a quick fix problem. It’s more like a cancer than a cold. Because of the infesting nature of depression, it is incredibly helpful for you to join your friend... Continue Reading
