The danger is that we end up creating a secular state where the State acts as God. Britain’s liberal democracy and its values of freedom, equality and tolerance are based upon Christianity. This report is indicative of a well-meaning inter-faith movement that is in danger of becoming a Trojan Horse for the new ‘Human Rights’ religion... Continue Reading

Prior’s over-arching point appears to be that North America’s pro-life narrative has become infused with sinful vitriol, and considering the tone many evangelicals take when addressing anybody who doesn’t believe with them, she’s correct.  But why does that make it wrong to classify abortion as murder?  Is there another word in the English language I...

False prophets do not lead their people to Christ, because they do not believe in Him. They believe in themselves, but are found wanting of any righteousness of God. They are condemned already because they rejected the only way into the Father’s pleasure, which is through Christ alone (see John 14:6). To sum it up, they... Continue Reading

The way to receive blessing from the Lord is to keep trusting him and hoping in him, especially when we can’t see the blessing we’re hoping for. We can’t trust and hope in our own ability to solve this problem. We can’t hope in the government or our employer or the economy or anything else.... Continue Reading

What I am arguing is that we must abandon this idea that strong language is somehow ‘plain’ and closer to truth and therefore justified in all circumstances. This is not only indefensible but it functions in many cases as an excuse to say whatever we like, whenever we like, Trump-style. Language is always loaded. So... Continue Reading

Who do we say Jesus is? Is he the Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the World? Or is he our genie who we pray to when we need help? Is he our Lord and King? Or is he a candy machine into which we dispense our good deeds and out comes our... Continue Reading

Moral relativism and the rejection of absolute truth now shape the modern post-Christian mind. Indeed, relativism is virtually taken for granted, at least as an excuse for overthrowing theistic truth claims and any restrictive morality.   This intellectual revolution began with four lectures in late 1915 presented to the Prussian Academy of Sciences. The lectures... Continue Reading

In one instance, while debating whether a particular individual was qualified for office, a person read to me the list of qualifications for eldership and declared: ‘If we apply those, then nobody will ever be qualified!’ Really?  Is it so hard to be faithful to one’s wife? To be sober minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able... Continue Reading

“Charles de Gaulle and plenty of others had another vision of Europe—a Europe that knew its roots and believed that it had concrete content to offer the rest of the world. Much of that content is reflective of Europe’s genuine plurality, which EU bureaucrats routinely gloss over.”   In his Mémoires d’Espoir, the leader of... Continue Reading

Preaching is to be text-based, derived from the Word of God. Thus, by definition it is objective and authoritative, and arrive as a certain, sure word. Therefore, the instinct to stipulate, “this is just my opinion” should send off alarm sirens in the mind of the preacher.   Preaching is God’s ordained method to convey... Continue Reading
