By making it easier to break up a home, no-fault divorce only makes it more likely that parents will commit this injustice against their children. Above all, divorce strips children of their human right to a mother and a father bound in a permanent bond to each other and to them. Stand up for the... Continue Reading

In light of recent discussions on a Christian perspective of gender roles in the Church and home, I would like to ask those involved to please remember the debate between egalitarians and complementarians is not merely a theological matter (though it is and important one), but it is a discussion that has serious implications for...

For decades she had been hostile to any mention of Christ: She would always ask the same question—“Tell me why you had to become a Christian”—but never really hear the answer. Now, she could listen to the gospel and say, “What an interesting story.” Before, she would criticize Susan. Now, she would take my wife’s... Continue Reading

Sooner or later, we discover that a beautiful baby has grown into a lovely, but sinful, toddler. How did that happen? If they were not born sinful, then we are responsible. If there is no original, inherited sin, then parents bear the blame for their children deserving God’s judgment. The doctrine of original sin tells... Continue Reading

“As Christians, we fall into this mindset more often than we’d like to admit. Our generation is Biblically illiterate, so signs, feelings, and coincidences fill the void.

God has ordained this president for His own reasons. He sovereignly exerts... Continue Reading

Where does divine inspiration factor into Kirk’s understanding of Paul’s writings? Notice that Kirk believes Paul had a limited understanding of science and history. Kirk believes we should listen to science instead of Paul concerning a historic Adam. Yet, when it comes to the historic Christ, Kirk tells us to listen to Paul, not science.... Continue Reading

The plan to save the city was Messianic and Americans love messianic plans. We are a “can do” people even when we’re wearing sandals and holding a steaming hot cup of mocha latte with our name written in cream on the top. Utopianism is the notion that we can build the heavenly city on the... Continue Reading

I love that Dr. Bradley uses the word legalism to describe this new trend, because it really can be burdensome. There is a difference between seeking the comfort of normalcy because we are afraid to heed the gospel call, and ignoring the reality that, for many of us, heeding the gospel call is right there...
