Courage Is a Christian’s Only Path Forward from the Legal Hell the ‘Winsome’ Gospel Wrought
The world hated Him, and so it will hate His disciples too.
There’s a glaring problem with the “winsome” worldview: It ultimately measures a Christian’s fidelity to the gospel based on how he is perceived by God’s enemies — and in the process, it implies Christians who aren’t adored by their unregenerate neighbors are unloving. This version of Christianity doesn’t work. What you end up with on... Continue Reading
Holy Sensibility vs. Compromise
Unholy darkness is so subtle that it may compromise relating to words or actions out of either ignorance or insensibility on the part of some Christians.
God is holy. All His actions and pronouncements are holy. They must not and do not deserve to be compromised. The above represent subtleties in that they do not appear to be active or aggressive evil attitudes or acts. At least, that is how they might appear to us. But how do they appear to...

Witchcraft Sparkle for the Liberal Church
The “Sparkle Creed” is riddled with heresy rarely, if ever, so blatantly expressed in a Christian service.
In her false trinitarian creed, she makes the “rainbow spirit” an affirmation of non-binary queer theory where the triune God is blended with everything in “a gorgeous diversity.” On the contrary, to please God who is binary––separate from us––we must bear his binary image in our sexuality in maintaining the male/female distinction. The Evangelical... Continue Reading
Where is the Good News? An Honest Look at the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Community
The journey to equality for blacks in America has a long and treacherous history.
Did the Civil Rights Movement fail the black community? Again, that’s a complicated question, but the truth is it was never designed to succeed in such a monumental task. By contrast, the gospel never fails, and should be central to our believing, our living. Some have questioned if evangelicals—especially white evangelicals—did anything to aid... Continue Reading
The Rabbit Hole of Wokeness & Merriam-Webster
The dictionary has added a second definition for the word "female": "having a gender identity that is the opposite of male."
The Cambridge Dictionary and Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary are not the standard…their authority is not final. But there is a book which is the final authority. It’s God’s book, the Bible. Following the fall of the Cambridge Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary has slipped from the same cultural precipice only to dashed on the blunt... Continue Reading
Why Are So Many of Our Youth Identifying as LGBTQ+?
Many in the Gen Z and alpha generation who currently find their value, meaning, and identity in an LGBTQ+ label will, in God’s good timing, find Christ alone to be their all-in-all.
In the latest Gallup poll for 2022, only 2.7% of baby boomers and 3.3% of Gen Xers identified as LGBTQ+ versus 11.2% of millennials and 19.7% of Gen Z. Along with that, while there was only a slight increase in the total percentage of Americans identifying as LGBTQ+ from 2012–2020, that number showed a marked... Continue Reading
The Meaning of “Sabbath” in Colossians 2:16
The reference in Colossians 2:16 is not to the 4th Commandment, but rather to the ceremonial feasts and festivals of the Hebrew calendar.
The overall teaching of the Bible is that the 10 Commandments as unit, including the 4th Commandment, still stand. The context of Colossians 2:16 is Paul speaking of Jewish ceremonies. Those ceremonies can rightly be called “sabbaths.” Rightly understood, “sabbath” of Colossians 2:16 refers to the various ceremonies. Paul also mandates that offerings be received in multiple churches specifically... Continue Reading
The Trans Tide Is Turning
Gender-transition reckoning looms on the horizon.
History will look back with horror on all the otherwise rational, talented, intelligent people who either supported this medical madness or stood by and did nothing. We must hope and pray that more doctors take a similar stand and that governments come to their senses to legislate “gender-affirmative” medical care out of existence. In... Continue Reading
The Masculinity Vacuum
The battle of masculinity will be won by the men whose core convictions are strongest.
Christian men, of all the men in the world, ought to be the most joyful, bold, courageous, and serious. Christian men believe in a resurrection, so they laugh at fear. They have no fear of man, no fear of death, and eternal hope in the making of earth as it is in heaven. This provides... Continue Reading
Children Need Their Parents, Not Big Government
“I homeschool because I have seen the village and I don’t want it raising my child.”
Depending upon the State to instil these virtues of morality, self-reliance, personal responsibility, and respect for others is a pipe dream. Sure, not every parent will be an ideal role model in these areas, but I would far rather trust them to ‘train up a child in the way he should go’ than rely on government bureaucrats and...
