After watching Broussard’s remarks with my wife, I turned to her and said, “That was strong.” All he did was to confess what the Bible teaches about sexual morality and about what God requires of every Christian—obedience (1 John 2:4). It was a clearer word than what you would hear in many pulpits. It was... Continue Reading

“I really do think (the organ) is on the upswing for traditional worship, and I think there will be a great reenergizing for the organ and organists,” he said. That comment jibes with consistent and recent statements by experts across the sacred music realm that the organ, after plateauing for a couple of decades, is... Continue Reading

Due to her husband’s constant travels, Molly felt increasingly neglected. She grew jealous of her husband’s time since he was often away. And she became suspicious of the many friendly relationships he maintained with various women who were part of the Methodist movement. Wesley for his part did little to assuage her fears. Consequently, their marriage was a rocky one.... Continue Reading

Written in the two page report was a notation that I had “white matter disease.” Not only did I not know what that was or know that I had it but it sounded ominous. Or, it could just be an old age thing like your gray matter is now turning white. However, the word disease... Continue Reading

He knows what He’s doing, and one thing He is assuredly not doing is expressing His anger... Continue Reading

This was a man who sang of the horrors of sin, with a longing for a gospel he had heard and, it seemed, he hoped could deliver him. In Jones’ songs, you hear the old Baptist and Pentecostal fear that maybe, horrifically, one has passed over into the stage of Esau who, as the Bible puts it, “could... Continue Reading

He was a USA TODAY and Parade All-American and a consensus pick as one of the nation’s top two tailbacks. Every school in the country recruited him. He... Continue Reading

Author Eric Metaxas, the Wilberforce biographer, remarked that, eventually, marriage redefinition would have a “chilling effect on religious freedom in America” as churches would refuse same-sex couples space and personnel for weddings. “Most thinking Christians realize gays have not been treated as Jesus would have wanted them to be,” he surmised, “But when it comes...

The New York Jets released Tim Tebow this morning, putting an end to, well, not much. Tebow had a total of eight passes as a Jet. He completed six of them. He ran for a total of 102 yards. The Jets never really used him.   So what does he do now? Here are four... Continue Reading
