The following is a speech given by Robert P. George at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC during the last week of May. It is a must read for every Christian and especially those that claim to be a “Christian” and are in opposition to the teachings of the Bible, supporting abortion and... Continue Reading

When you feel “stuck,” when you feel like you are continually rehearsing the same struggles, remember this: sanctification is not an endless, repetitive circle. It is a growing spiral in which each round penetrates more deeply into our identity as fallen, but redeemed, image-bearers of God. Spiritual growth can be a long, slow process—with one...

The purpose of using the word “admit” is to create the false assumption that all Christians are thuper scared of being “authentic,” “real,” and “messy,” that all Christians promote a false image of themselves as “having everything figured out” and “having it all together,” so to speak. In opposition to this faux dilemma, here comes Pavlovitz to save the... Continue Reading

To be sure, there is a distinction between the present time, the interregnum, and that period after his return, the judgment, and consummation of all things. We do not see every knee bowing and every tongue confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil 2:10–11; Rom 14:11). As Hebrews 2:8 says, presently, “we do not see... Continue Reading

There is in fact an easy answer to the problematic situation in which this priest finds himself: resign and stop taking the position and the money which the Anglican church provides for you.  That, of course, requires sacrifice, though one would imagine that in the UK it will hardly lead to actual martyrdom.  Far from...

It seems to me that for an item to make it into a credal summary like the Apostles’ Creed there should be undoubted and clear biblical testimony to it.  This is certainly not true when it comes to “he descended into hell.”  The mere fact that it takes such scholarly labor to work through the...

There may be some legitimate theological discussions to be had around the theology of original sin, but I have a hard time taking seriously any argument that rejects the idea we have a natural tendency towards choosing sin. Or, maybe I’m just wrong on this issue and a really horrible person on top of it–... Continue Reading

As a general proposition, the common law of the United States self-consciously assumes a framework of principles contained in or deduced from Scripture, including the foundational principle of rights given by a Creator-God. Rather than abandoning or denying that legacy, it is time to do the hard work of explaining and re-asserting the liberties contained... Continue Reading

Let us, however, at the very least acknowledge the point that Deut. 29:29 does place upon us a moral obligation to restrain ourselves from some lines of reasoning/inquiry into matters related to our Triune God and His works of creation and providence. God has, in fact, posted a “no trespassing” sign at certain points where... Continue Reading

Since 1973, legal abortion has killed more blacks than AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and violent crime combined. Every week, more blacks die in American abortion clinics than were killed in the entire Vietnam War. Just over 12 percent of the American population is black, yet 37 percent of abortions are performed on black women. Black children... Continue Reading
