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

Back in Cambridge, when they tried to show the photographs to the university’s eminent professors, they were ignored as dilettantes…until the professors got a proper look. It looked like Agnes Smith really had discovered something of worth. Yes, the Syriac Sinaiticus dated back to the mid-4th century, and the translation it preserved went back to the...

18 Reasons the Abortion Industry is Losing Its Support
Why does it seem that the abortion industry’s grassroots support is slipping at the very moment when its power and resources have reached their zenith?
Although heralded by the abortion lobby as both “safe and legal,” it is now apparent that abortion is merely “legal.” The complications of this, the most commonly performed medical procedure in America today, are legion.
