Chipping Away Our Confidence in Christ
It is usually the pleasant times, when self-confidence becomes exaggerated, that we tend to chip away at the rock upon which we stand.
When the good times come it is easy to lose sight of the importance of our foundation. The winds are not trying to knock us over, and the rains are not there to cause us to seek shelter, so we do not feel the need for solid footing. Often during these times when we do... Continue Reading
Desiring Contentment
Although we will always long for heaven, God calls us to be content in whatever situation we find ourselves by His sovereign providence.
In essence, contentment is wanting what God wants for us, and what He wants for us is Him. This is why the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever (WSC 1). We most glorify God when we most enjoy what He has created us to desire—Himself. God has put... Continue Reading
The Rise of Right-Wing Wokeism
Book Review: "The Case for Christian Nationalism," by Stephen Wolfe
Biblical instincts are better than nationalist ones, and the ethos of the Christian Nationalism project fails the biblical smell test. Will the person who goes all in on this book—the person who says “yes” to every rant, the person who feels drawn to the vision of ethnic separation, the person who is just biding his...

The Compass Christ Sails By
Our salvation depends on the steadfastness of Christ and not our unsteady hearts.
Remember, Christian: Your heart is not the compass that directs Christ. His love, Word, and promises are His compass—and so they must be ours. Your salvation in Him is secure because His covenant is sure. “Follow your heart.” We hear this time and again, the world’s mantra to find assurance in emotion and intuition. Yet... Continue Reading

A Review of “Against the Great Reset,” Edited by Michael Walsh
To understand the diabolical nature of the Davos deities, read this book.
The revolutionaries always want to create a new world order, but always end up destroying man and civilisation in the process. Nothing new here. But the Davos elites have no interest in history. We should, however. If we will not learn from history, the prospect looks very bleak indeed. Hopefully a volume like this will wake... Continue Reading
When Christian Leaders Capitulate on Marriage, Innocent Children Suffer
What French never acknowledges and Dalrymple barely considers is what happens after weddings. But that is when the harm becomes most evident.
There is no need to rehearse the litany of evidence that children raised apart from their married, biological mothers and fathers fare worse on all manner of social, educational, and developmental outcomes. But it might be necessary to start speaking forthrightly about the more specific emerging evidence that children conceived via donorship suffer from “profound struggles with their origins and identities”...

Simple Solution to Same-Sex Civil “Marriage”
Civil unions should be completely desexualized and open to any two adults who desire to enter into a type of contractual relationship known as a mutual beneficiary contract.
As a society, we should question why we’re extending social and government benefits to a group based on sexual behavior while excluding other, nonsexual unions that are more worthy. Why allow civil unions for the lesbian couple down the street but not for the widowed daughter and mother-in-law who live next door? David French... Continue Reading
Who Was John Lafayette Girardeau?
He preached with the goal of raising the entire congregation to higher levels of knowledge and Christian devotion.
Next to Girardeau’s exemplary ministry to enslaved men and women, perhaps his most enduring legacy was his literary contribution to the office of deacon. Writing almost two hundred pages for The Southern Presbyterian Review, he established the office as one of spiritual necessity in the church and crafted the wording for American Presbyterianism’s ecclesiology on...

God’s Relationship to the World
To say God must be the father of all people, you’ll need something stronger than the idea of fatherhood to get there.
If God is a father, then preferential, faithful, and self-sacrificial love becomes appropriate, and even expected. Justice will then be God’s faithful commitment to his children — if God relates to the world as a father. To say God must be the father of all people, you’ll need something stronger than the idea of... Continue Reading
