Church May Ditch ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’
One hopes the good folk of the Church of Scotland will see that there is much more at stake here than just a change of nomenclature.
Though sex is a wonderful and sacred aspect of marriage, there is much more than a linkage of two bodies. A whole marriage also joins the souls of two people so there is a harmonization of their minds, emotions, and wills. Even more important is the union of spirit in which they share a strong...

In Praise Of Kate Forbes’s Christian Faith
Kate Forbes’ comments are an innocently-worded rebellion against the culture around her, one that has not treated her kindly for her faith.
It is not news that Forbes is a believer. She has spoken before about growing up in India where her parents were missionaries of the Free Church of Scotland, which is like the Church of Scotland but with Christianity. However, this profession of faith and the unapologetic way in which it is delivered is entirely... Continue Reading
Three Scientific Discoveries that Call for a God Hypothesis
Tracing science from its theistic beginnings, Meyer shows how it gradually lost its way and became tethered to materialism.
Simply put, Dawkins got it wrong. The universe we live in has properties one would expect if it were, in fact, designed by a God who had us in mind when He made the place. As Meyer’s book shows, this assumption was an original conviction of many who launched and drove the scientific revolution. It’s... Continue Reading
‘Existential Threat’: CCCU Fights LGBT students’ Title IX Lawsuit Targeting Christian Colleges
The lawsuit claims that such policies at Christian schools led to the abuse and bullying of LGBT students. However, the CCCU has denied that claim.
Title IX of the Civil Rights Act forbids sex-based discrimination in education. Faith-based institutions that uphold biblical definitions for marriage and sexuality can request a religious exemption that allows them to adhere to scriptural beliefs on matters of sexuality. The legal challenge essentially seeks to restrict students at faith-based institutions that adhere to traditional sexuality and... Continue Reading
Desperation of Diaspora?
Sanctifying imprisonment in Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and far-flung parts of Empires, kindled spiritual desire, fueled penitent prayer and created idol disgust.
By the curse of exile, the paradigm was set – for us who believe, Christ became a curse, the true object of lament, so that as we pass his Cross, if we are ever asked “does it mean nothing to you” our response is this: “His pangs and wrath are the most significant event to... Continue Reading
Rachel Hollis’s Problem Isn’t Privilege, It’s An Anti-Christian Gospel
While Rachel Hollis tries to recover from charges of privilege and co-opting black terms, when is she going to apologize for co-opting Christianity?
Here is the biggest problem with Rachel Hollis: Her entire brand, from her self-help books emphasizing self-care and self-love, to her merchandise, to her videos, to her public speeches, is built on self-congratulatory screeds with the message “you control your life” mingled with a Joel Osteen-eque prosperity gospel. “I absolutely refuse to watch you wallow,” Hollis...

Stop Hiding Behind Your Mask
Our mask says, “I have it all together,” but when the mask comes off, people discover the mess and the struggle.
Take off your mask. Step out of the darkness. Open yourself to the hope and joy found in relationships. We’ve spent long enough hiding in isolation. Come out of the darkness. Reconnect with community. Recommit to relationships. It is OK to be afraid, but it is not OK to allow that fear to rule and... Continue Reading

Despite his imprisonment, Pawlowski said he remains hopeful.
Pawlowski’s lawyer, Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers, described Pawlowski’s detention as “quite bizarre,” telling Rebel News, “We can’t understand why he hasn’t been released yet.

School Chaplain Reported As Terror Threat For Opposing LGBT Curriculum Challenges Firing
"I ended up being told that I had to support everybody else's beliefs, no matter what, while my Christian beliefs, the Church of England's beliefs, were blatantly censored." - Bernard Randall
Randall said he became alarmed when staff were instructed during the training session to chant “smash heteronormativity,” and told that gender identity is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act. He says that when he raised concerns, he was told by the head teacher that he would be involved in any decision on whether the... Continue Reading
