Not for our own sakes, but for the sake of the whole of our society, we need Christians who will boldly, graciously and lovingly take on the mockers, deceivers and destroyers of the New Atheist Fundamentalism, because it is not the indestructible Church of Christ they will destroy, but rather the countless lives of those...

Because we have a sin nature that seeks to ruin us, we consistently chafe at the concept of submitting to God, God’s parents, God’s husbands, God’s governors, and God’s elders. Even when we outwardly fall in line, inwardly we are filled with a rebel spirit that despises those God has ordained to lead, govern and... Continue Reading

And so it is not the case that Jesus would have baked a cake to be used in a homosexual celebration. Rather his words in the New Testament clearly show that such an act is a sin, worthy of hellfire.

Some adults are just as caught up in the game of like. It’s bad enough to see it played out in social media, reality television, and  whatever other means we may use to be liked. But the recent revelation of the debacle in which we have pastors using church money to hire a service to manipulate the... Continue Reading

Paul is looking at the law from the perspective of justification–can I be saved by law-keeping?  If you try this, says Paul, the law is only a curse.  James is looking at the law through the lens of sanctification.  From this perspective the law is...
