Love in the Time of Deflategate
The supposedly soulless Patriots swear a pastor's embrace has powered their success
Professional football players are drawn to type-A personalities like Jack Easterby, who years ago as the officiant of Brady Quinn’s wedding wrestled the schedule away from the wedding planner and streamlined the process to make it easier for the bride and groom. Players can relate to a deep-seated desire to be great. Easterby is not... Continue Reading
A Classic Example of an Incoherent Worldview
While non-Christians might act moral, and might advocate moral acts, only Christians have grounds for why an act is moral or immoral in the first place.
In the end, Moore’s worldview faces some serious philosophical challenges. She wants to have absolute morality so that she can declare murder wrong (and thus advocate gun control), but at the same time she provides no coherent basis for what makes something right or wrong. Indeed, she has a worldview that actually destroys the possibility... Continue Reading
Josh Harris Leaves Pulpit to Attend Seminary
Best-selling author Joshua Harris announced he is stepping down as lead pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Md., to go to seminary.
“I was 30 years old, with no formal theological training and no formal training in organizational leadership, and I was the senior pastor of a 3,000 member church,” Harris said, describing his experiences as a “backwards life.” Now 40, Harris said he needs a time for reflection and study. (WNS)–Best-selling author Joshua Harris announced Sunday he... Continue Reading
Another Pastor Self-Congratulates for Endorsing “Gay Christianity”
Stan Mitchell, pastor of GracePointe Church, Franklin, Tenn., embraces ‘gay Christianity’ as a legitimate spiritual state
Today, we need many more Machens, fearless and clear in their convictions, and many less Fosdicks, bending with the culture and afraid of its condemnation. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ–not the church of the Most Holy Culture–needs leaders who will remember that, whatever happens to them on this earth, there are higher stakes... Continue Reading
For Years I Pleaded With God To Make Me Straight, So Why Did My Prayers Go Unanswered?
Why didn't God answer my prayer to rid me of my homosexual desires? Because homosexual desires were not my main problem.
My heart was changed instantaneously when I trusted in Christ and began to follow Him, but my mind was not. I now have a heart that genuinely loves God and desires to worship Him, but at the same time, I’m still utterly messed up and damaged by sin. The Lord is working in me and... Continue Reading

Will Christians Be Allowed To Serve As Judges In California?
The evidence is mounting that the sexual revolutionaries will brook no dissent in the march of “gay rights.”
Yesterday, the California Supreme Court ruled that state judges could no longer hold membership in the Boy Scouts of America. Why? Because the Boy Scouts allow gay scouts but not gay Scout leaders. As far as the California Supreme Court is concerned, the Boy Scouts discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, and that violates... Continue Reading
“Jesus was a Palestinian” is a False Narrative
The pro-Palestinian Christian narrative, as defined by its leaders, is a lie.
In early December I came across a video of Dr. Mitri Raheb, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, summing up the pro-Palestinian Christian narrative. While Raheb’s duplicity is disturbing, his rather succinct commentary offers an opportunity to debunk the lies that he and his colleagues advance As any reader of this... Continue Reading
Perseverance and Hope Through Disability
Joni Eareckson Tada says the Martin Pistorius story should encourage Christians to advocate for the humanity of people mistakenly called ‘vegetables’
In the 1980s, when Pistorius was 12 years old, he came home from school with a sore throat. As his condition worsened, doctors guessed he had cryptococcal meningitis. His mobility eventually vanished, followed quickly by his ability to make eye contact and speak. For about two years, Pistorius lingered, trapped in a personal prison. He... Continue Reading
