Leaving the Church Means Leaving Christ

A response to Donald Miller’s article explaining why he has left the church

Written by Denny Burk | Monday, February 10, 2014

Miller reveals that he is not the only famous Christian leader who no longer attends church. He says that he’s just the only one who’s willing to admit it. Forsaking the church is an open secret among a certain class of so-called Christian leaders. I do not mean to be unnecessarily divisive or caustic in... Continue Reading

Where Are The Ruling Elders?

Ruling elders, together with teaching elders, exercise leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a congregation as well as the whole church

Written by Steve Salyards | Monday, February 10, 2014

If we are serious about our government structure then we need to be intentional about including ruling elders in the mix the same way we are intentional about including the wide diversity of our membership in the decision making process. Furthermore, the joint decision making by teaching and ruling elders is the genius of our... Continue Reading

We Become How We Worship

Worship is so powerful that we not only take on the image of what worship, but we also take on the image of the manner and style of our worship

Written by David Murray | Sunday, February 9, 2014

If we become how we worship, the more we exercise faith in Sunday worship the more faith we will have Monday to Saturday. The more we trust in the Lord in church, the more we will trust in him in the world. Faithless and life-less Sunday worship produces faithless and lifeless Christians at home, at work, and...

On the Road With God

Do we close the car door, start the engine and leave God behind?

Written by Miriam Gautier | Sunday, February 9, 2014

His car spun into a full turn and was now directly in front of us. We were going to hit him broadside. I yelled out, “Lord, don’t let us hit him!” No sooner did the words come out of my mouth than his car immediately did another spin which sent him to the cement divider... Continue Reading

Pete Seeger, Marxist Minstrel

Pete Seeger’s death at age 94 is a cultural catharsis for the American left

Written by Paul Kengor | Thursday, February 6, 2014

The media is hailing Seeger as a “social-justice” crusading “progressive,” a voice for the poor, the downtrodden, the working man, and the environment. He’s also being portrayed as a victim of wild-eyed McCarthyites who maniacally searched for a red under every bed. Well, the full story is a little different.   Editor’s note: A shorter...

Bill Nye’s Reasonable Man—The Central Worldview Clash of the Ham-Nye Debate

The central question of the debate was this: “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?”

Written by Albert Mohler | Wednesday, February 5, 2014

The central issue last night was really not the age of the earth or the claims of modern science. The question was not really about the ark or sediment layers or fossils. It was about the central worldview clash of our times, and of any time: the clash between the worldview of the self-declared “reasonable... Continue Reading

Women Reject Abortion at Highest Rate Since 1973

Between 2008 and 2011, the abortion rate fell 13 percent

Written by Gina Diorio, WNS | Wednesday, February 5, 2014

National Right to Life President Carol Tobias said in a statement the report “shows the long-term efforts of the right-to-life movement to educate the country about the humanity of the unborn child,” but ignores the impact public debate has had on this downward trend. “The more Americans learn about the development of the unborn child and the...

Do Not Forsake the Assembly

I pity Donald Miller for his impoverishment of understanding of Christ and his church

Written by Todd Pruitt, Ref21 | Wednesday, February 5, 2014

I was saddened but not at all surprised to read Donald Miller’s recent disclosure that he does not attend a church. I was sad because one cannot be a Christian and reject Christ’s body, his bride, his building. Christians are made and grown in the body of Christ. I was not, however, surprised because this is an...

From Gay to Joyous

Author Christopher Yuan journeyed out of a pit into the arms of God

Written by Marvin Olasky, WNS | Tuesday, February 4, 2014

Given the same-sex marriage juggernaut’s political and judicial success last year, we can expect on Valentine’s Day this year to hear early and often how great it is to be gay. Christopher Yuan, who was a homosexual and a drug dealer, has a different story that led to two sentences: prison and HIV positive status.... Continue Reading
