Wild in the Streets – When Dystopian Comedy Mirrors Reality

Rebellion of many types is in the air.

Written by Don and Joy Veinot | Friday, January 19, 2024

It is odd but in light of where much of Western culture is today, Wild in the Streets seems almost prophetic. For example, at the age of fifteen, Swedish-born Greta Thunberg took her largely ignorant but passionate narrative concerning “climate change” into politics, attempting to sway the Swedish elections. A year later, she publicly scolded world leaders in her 2019... Continue Reading

There Will Be Blasphemy

The Right to Rites, and What Ever Happened to the Gay Marriage Debate?

Written by Timon Cline | Friday, January 19, 2024

“Conservatives”—another term for which I have diminishing tolerance—see no need to make a stink about gay marriage today, at least not at actionable scale. This means the issue is thoroughly embedded in the public reason. It makes sense and is unquestioned in any real sense. Even if some people don’t like it there are now... Continue Reading

Destroying Marriage in Order to Save It

The New Yorker article notes that non-monogamy “is increasingly being presented not as a threat to bourgeois marriage but, rather, as a way to save the institution and all that it affords.”

Written by Daniel Frost and Robert P. George | Thursday, January 18, 2024

Polyamory harms marriage. Its mainstreaming by some would erode everyone else’s ability to understand and live out true marriage. As the late Oxford philosopher Joseph Raz, whose views on sex and marriage were much more liberal than ours, nevertheless conceded, “monogamy, assuming that it is the only valuable form of marriage, cannot be practiced by...

Navigating the Negative World

A Tale of Dunwell and Deevers

Written by Tyler Cox | Wednesday, January 17, 2024

The Negative World might necessitate a change in one’s approach, but it ought not to change one’s conviction. In navigating the shifting tides of cultural dynamics, Deevers’s steadfast commitment to unwavering principles serves as a beacon of resilience.   You’re probably familiar with the controversial placement of a symbolic display by the Satanic Temple of...

Committee Report on Church Music

Worship is a theological issue in that its purpose is glorifying God as we enjoy Him within the limits of liturgy given in Scripture.

Written by Barry Waugh | Wednesday, January 17, 2024

One thing both traditional and contemporary churches could agree on is the participation of church members in congregational singing. If unity cannot be found here, then the issues that divide are presuppositional and theological. The Church, whether Presbyterian or not, is divided about music, but it is certain that all of us will be singing... Continue Reading

With Rising Discontent, More than Half of American Clergy Seriously Considered Quitting: Study

The growing discontent among pastors was described in the report as a "disconcerting" reality that implies "clergy are in the midst of a challenging time."

Written by Leonardo Blair | Wednesday, January 17, 2024

Researchers found that the changing religious landscape in America, sped up by the pandemic and enforced lockdowns, has led to the challenging times that pastors now face, causing more of them to think of changing churches or leaving the profession altogether.   As American pastors have grown increasingly discontent with their profession, more than half...

A Merciful Awakening, Please Lord

As long as these churches exist, let’s pray for such a merciful awakening.

Written by Jim Elliff  | Sunday, January 14, 2024

While mainline churches continue to speak this “gospel” of no judgment by God by which all people are in and none outside of the circle of acceptance by God, the final strokes of their demise will come, bleeding church by church, merge by merge. But there is a solution as radical as a true reformation.... Continue Reading

How Not to be a Grumpy Old Man or Woman

We can all work on our communication skills.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Sunday, January 14, 2024

“Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him” (Proverbs 29:20).  So if you do not want to turn into a grumpy old man – or to become a fool – then learn how to curb your tongue. And learn how to listen... Continue Reading

The Least Resolution for 2024

Fifty years ago, in February 1974, Alexander Solzhenitsyn was arrested in the Soviet Union and exiled to the West. On the day of his arrest, he released a document entitled “Live Not by Lies.”

Written by Peter Mead | Sunday, January 14, 2024

Fifty years later, perhaps it is time for us to revisit this document.  Are we living in times where some, on behalf of all, have determined what society should look like?  Do we see a mounting pressure to conform with what ‘they say’ is acceptable human thought and belief? Indeed, we should not be so... Continue Reading

When Being a Christian Is like Being a Californian

In many ways our membership in the Church is a lot like my citizenship in California; we’re just here because we were born here, it’s comfortable and it serves our purposes.

Written by J. Warner Wallace | Sunday, January 14, 2024

As Christians, we can defend what we believe about Jesus evidentially. We can make a case with the evidence from the first century and the universe around us. I pray that you and I, as Jesus followers, can become “Evidential Christians.” In the increasingly antagonistic culture in which we now live, we no longer have the luxury of being...
