Social Justice Anywhere Is a Threat to Justice Everywhere
If social justice proponents cared about the evidence, then they would welcome Social Justice Fallacies.
Sowell makes it clear that the state should reject the social justice vision and its agenda. The natural end point, he states, is “having government empower surrogate decision-makers to rescue victims of various forms of mistreatment by taking many decisions out of other people’s hands” (82). Our ever-growing administrative state is full of people convinced... Continue Reading
The Apostle Paul and the Jews
Israel’s disobedience led to mercy to the Gentiles which will lead to mercy to Israel.
We who are Gentiles ought to learn the lesson, that if God did not spare the natural branches, there is no reason why He should spare the wild branches. This means that we are required to stand by faith (v.20) – to humbly trust the grace of God and to fear Him. Some have said that... Continue Reading
Maj. Daniel Iverson, Decorated Marine Pilot
The almost to the day six-month Guadalcanal campaign ebbed and flowed in intensity, but for Iverson and the flyers the great challenge was destroying Japanese naval and support vessels while dodging bullets at the airstrip and in the air.
Early in May the Battle of the Coral Sea had taken place, after which the Japanese moved their forces to attack Midway. Included in the massive fleet were four heavy aircraft carriers. It was the second day of battle, June 4, as events unfolded, Iverson and his gunner Private First-Class Wallace Reed climbed aboard their... Continue Reading
The Unexpected Blessing of a Rural Church
They exuded a happiness I had never seen before and a concern for others that seemed almost strange to me.
The love that welcomed me seventeen years ago, lowered my guard, and prepared my heart to receive the gospel, has done the same thing to many others over the years. It’s the love of God in his people—a surprising love to those without hope and without God—and it still draws the lost to their Savior... Continue Reading
Clement of Rome Remembers Jesus Christ
Clement regularly points, not only to the voluntary humility of Jesus Christ for our salvation, but to the final glory of Christ.
Clement remembered Jesus Christ. He saw the incarnation of Christ, his taking to himself our flesh and nature, as the model for all Christian humility and consequent unity. Jesus consummates the decree of election by shedding his blood as high priest and rising from the dead as the firstfruit for our redemption. Through him, the... Continue Reading

Book Review: Butterfield and Five Lies of Our Age
Though we may have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, Butterfield presents us with the hope of the gospel.
There’s no question that the West is becoming increasingly antagonistic towards Christianity. One reason for this is that the ever-expanding LGBT agenda is deeply incompatible with biblical Christianity. In our age of ‘self,’ choice and rights are paramount, and no one has the right to tell someone else what to do (unless, of course, you... Continue Reading
A Brief Life Still Burning
The unlikely impact of Robert Murray M’Cheyne.
That’s what M’Cheyne was: a God-besotted man, a God-enthralled man. What I found so captivating about him was how captivated he was by Jesus. He was on fire, but not with mere zeal. His heart burned with holy divine love, the kind that is ignited only when one is truly near the holy Fire that... Continue Reading
For the Jews
We must pray for the Jews: that the Lord would deliver the afflicted through their affliction and open their ears through adversity; that the Spirit of God would pour into their broken hearts and make them new.
The present sufferings of our Jewish neighbors have revealed that they are not the only ones with veiled hearts. My heart (maybe yours too?) has been veiled towards the Jews. Paul confessed, “I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from... Continue Reading
PCA’s Judicial Commission Vindicates the “Jonesboro 7,” Cites Abuse by Session
The General Assembly's Judicial Commission not only rejected the unconstitutional indictment of the Temporary Session from IPC, but also vindicated the men of all charges (Part Five).
The Jonesboro 7 had suffered long and hard; they had been falsely accused, falsely convicted, barred from the Lord’s Table, but finally the Lord had vindicated His lambs, and He vindicated them through the ordinary Presbyterian process. It just took a while. But God did more than vindicate His lambs. Editorial Note: What follows relies on official... Continue Reading
