Through The Cross, Killing The Hostility
Remember you were not always a Christian; look back and remember your past alienation from Christ and the spiritual wealth you’ve come to cherish because of grace
As you enjoy the benefits of being His child, the access you have to Him at all times and the love of God’s family, remember where you came from. Remember that there are many who are now your brothers and sisters who at one time may have preferred you dead. Through the cross He has... Continue Reading
The New Tolerance Must Crumble, Says Don Carson
The new tolerance eliminates all possibility of declaring something as wrong or sinful.
Along with a loss of moral consensus, our culture is challenged to wrestle with complex moral dilemmas in a reasonable and clearheaded way. Instead, “we increasingly argue by shibboleth and anger, and if you try to argue a certain case regarding, let’s say, homosexual marriage, then you are easily and quickly dismissed as a bigot.”...

I Know You Love Me — Now Let Me Die
How we used to die; how we die now: An emergency physician’s empathic account of “how we used to die” starkly contrasted with how most people die now.
When it comes time for us to be called home, those of us in the know will pray that when we gaze down upon our last breath we will be grateful that our own doctors and families chose to do what they should instead of what they could and with that we will close our... Continue Reading
A Christmas Story Ending in Life
For almost three decades Calvin College professor Pete Tigchelaar has had a three-month-old fetus, encased in plastic, that he uses in his human biology classes.
The young woman told Tigchelaar that a generation earlier her mother had been a student in one of Tigchelaar’s biology classes.

The Troubling Truth About Bonhoeffer’s Theology
Appreciating Bonhoeffer while recognizing that his theology was neo-orthodox, and his position was even more liberal than Karl Barth’s.
While recognizing his many admirable traits—compassion, courage, commitment, and integrity—we should be wary of many elements of his theology. He imbibed large doses of Continental philosophy, including Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Heidegger—that profoundly influenced his worldview. His theology reflected Barth’s neo-orthodox theology, which called Christians to get back to Scripture as the source for... Continue Reading

Why I Don’t Like Singing Hymns
Part of the reason hymn-singing is dying in the church is because of the way we sing said hymns.
All of this is to say that I encourage you to sing what you mean. To sing to the Lord the glory and honor due His name. You’re not going to do that muttering your way through whatever hymns your church uses. You’re going to do that by praising Him the way He calls for... Continue Reading
Some Evangelicals Struggle With Black Lives Matter Movement
Michelle Higgins, director of the advocacy group Faith for Justice, based in St. Louis, argued for evangelical support of Black Lives Matter.
The historian D.G. Hart, who teaches at Hillsdale College in Michigan, noted in a blog post that the website BlackLivesMatter.com, a prominent one within the movement, expresses support for transgender and gay rights, issues that are problematic for conservative Christians. “Some who support justice for African-Americans and oppose police brutality may wonder legitimately what Caitlyn...
