Evangelicalism in the 1970s and 80s—Scripture’s Inerrancy and Errant Evangelicals (Part 1)
Many who abandoned the foundational evangelical belief in the inerrancy of Scripture took the evangelical label with them and expanded it to allow for their belief in “limited inerrancy.”
More than a decade before Newsweek declared 1976 the “Year of the Evangelicals,” the coalition of conservative Protestants had already begun to break apart…Evangelicals were engaged in a Battle for the Bible. Few periods of the last century were more destructive, realigning, reshaping, and redefining of Evangelicalism than the decade and a half beginning in... Continue Reading
Gay Marriage Isn’t the New Interracial Marriage
By suggesting that gay marriage is the new interracial marriage, the "Respect for Marriage Act" suggests interracial marriage is perverse.
The difference between gay people and black people is homosexual behaviour is a sin, dark skin isn’t a sin. Therefore, although interracial marriage was illegal in some states decades ago, it’s never been immoral. Gay “marriage,” however, has always been immoral. The Respect for Marriage Act doesn’t respect marriage at all. A more accurate name... Continue Reading
How Men Were Made Redundant
Book Review: "Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It," by Richard Reeves
Reeves’ work may be the most well-researched compilation of problems plaguing the modern male. Mothers, fathers, wives, employers, and educators are “really worried about boys and men,” Reeves emphasizes. “We need a pro-social vision of masculinity for a post-feminist world.” Men are losing their grip. Literally. Adult men today have a 30-pound weaker grip strength... Continue Reading
Loving Our Neighbors, Telling the Truth about Identity and Gender
There is no “silver bullet” when it comes to navigating tough conversations or helping those struggling with gender dysphoria. At the same time, to avoid the topic is to not help people at all, which is simply not an option for followers of Christ.
James calls followers of Christ to be, “gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” Silence might be easier…however, we must take the posture of engaging the issues—not avoiding them—and especially of engaging people with truth and love as Christ did. The questions we receive more than all others have to... Continue Reading

Book Review: "The Case For Christian Nationalism"—Stephen Wolfe and "The Great Restoration"
In the year Anno Domini 2022 Stephen (of “Wolfeshire,” his bio says) has launched a manifesto sparking the imagination and enthusiasm of a large cohort of energetic, young, American men. There is a Holy Land to liberate from infidels and their enablers—the anemic and compromised relics of the post-war generation. That Holy Land is the United... Continue Reading

How One Christian School Addressed Critical Theory
“The Augustine School Statement on Social Theory” to help us navigate some of the harmful ideologies and social theories of our day.
More than twenty years ago, my wife and I helped found Augustine School, a classical Christian school in Jackson, Tennessee. Every Christian institution, if it is to remain faithful, must understand the times (1 Chron. 12:32) and articulate the gospel as perplexing ethical challenges emerge. The following statement is one model for how a Christian... Continue Reading
The Second Commandment and Films Depicting Jesus
The actor who would dare play the Christ cannot but project a false image of God.
Given the arts and their depictions of Jesus, it’s no wonder that Lord is not more favorably seen by the church as the Ancient of Days, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, or the God of Psalms 2 and 3 (for instance). The Lord Jesus is too often depicted as a defeated suffering servant... Continue Reading
A Review and Rebuttal: ‘Heavy Burdens, Seven Ways LGBTQ Christians Experience Harm in the Church’
In the guise of grace, Rivera calls on the church to stop being Christian and to choose interpretations of Holy Scripture which accommodate sexual passions.
As a Side B lesbian, Rivera assists those who choose to become Side A, providing a stream of justifications for doing so. Her teaching is conducive to the LGBTQ way of life, part of the broad way: “… the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction” (Matthew 7:13). The narrow... Continue Reading
You Will Deny Me Three Times | Mark 14:66-72
How often do we set ourselves up to sin by our desire to be comfortable?
Peter’s repentance led to his restoration because each of Peter’s three denials (as well as all the rest of his sins) were nailed through Jesus to the cross. The eternal and sinless Word gave Himself as a ransom for Peter’s sins. And for our sins. The only complete triumph over sin comes through Christ our Champion. He... Continue Reading
