Has Jesus Lost His Mind? The Charge of Lunacy (Mark 3:20-22)
Jesus’s family didn’t understand who he truly was nor did they grasp what motivated his mission.
We, as Jesus’s followers, may be perceived even by those in our own families as “having lost our minds.” Why follow a Jewish carpenter who was crucified two millennia ago? Why forego a comfortable life, forsake the American dream, and choose deprivation and suffering for his cause? By the world’s standards, we’re out of our... Continue Reading
Parents, Teach Your Kids Theology
They need us to teach their minds, hearts, and affections to reflect on the truth with their whole body—not just their affections but also their minds.
It might be seven minutes a day as you cuddle your little one to sleep and talk to her about the goodness of God and his lovingkindness for us made flesh—Christ. It’s possible. And by relying on God’s grace (not our own strength), we can teach God’s word diligently to our children to help them... Continue Reading
Christopher Rufo Explains the Real, Dark Intentions Behind Drag Queen Story Hour
DQSH has expanded to 40 local chapters across the United States, performing hundreds of shows in front of innocent, impressionable children with the warm encouragement of librarians and other adults.
Rufo ends this revealing article with the smart and hopeful observation that such deception will ultimately reveal itself, as great evil always does. “When parents, voters, and political leaders understand the true nature of Drag Queen Story Hour and the ideology that drives it, they will work quickly to restore the limits that have been...

Christians, Your Identity Isn’t Your Identifiers
A Christian’s identity doesn’t come from within, but rather from the Creator of the universe who stands outside of time and creation.
An identity founded upon identifiers is an extremely fragile, vulnerable, and fickle foundation. My marriage, as amazing as it is, cannot be my identity because it will inevitably change. My profession, as much as I love it, will not happen in heaven. My relationships and responsibilities uniquely contribute to my identifiers but make a poor... Continue Reading
Don’t Let Fear of a Social Gospel Put You Off Doing Good Works Socially
We are, at best, viewed with a large degree of scepticism by many.
Our witness before our neighbours matters. That is not just walking with integrity before them personally (though that surely matters too). But it means walking in such a way that we inevitably do good to them because of the gospel. It means serving our neighbours in real and practical ways so that, when they see... Continue Reading
2022 Proposals: The Case for Item 6 & Against Item 11
Item 6 deals with suspending someone’s rights before the completion of his judicial process. Item 11 deals with suspending someone’s rights after the completion of his judicial process in the lower court, but while the decision is under appeal.
Item 6 proposes a change that would better bring the rights of the various parties into balance by requiring a 2/3 vote to suspend the rights of someone who has been accused, but not yet found guilty. Item 11, on the other hand, would have the opposite effect. Requiring a 2/3 vote to suspend someone... Continue Reading
God’s Word Is Living and Active (Even Genealogies)
Any time we fail to encounter God in the Bible, the problem is with us, not the Bible.
The Old Testament is bookended with genealogy-heavy books, and these books take their interpretive cues from Genesis 3:15. As we move to the New Testament, we discover that it begins with…a genealogy. The Lineage of Redemption The scene is familiar to many of us: we wake up in the morning with an awareness of our...

The Heart of Biblical Cosmology
From all eternity it has been the Father’s pleasure, purpose, and plan to put his Son in authority and control over the entire universe.
The Father has the Son in his heart, and he has chosen to place the Son at the heart of his plan for the entire universe. In other words, biblical cosmology is really a love story, a story of God diligently seeking to exalt his dear Son by making him the glorious and beloved creator, sustainer, redeemer,...

Fathers, Defend Your Daughters Against “Trans” Madness
Fathers, by the virtue of being fathers, have as their primary role to protect and provide. Where are they?
Men, you may not have asked for this assignment. But it’s your assignment nonetheless. Don’t be silent. Don’tbe passive. Do something.This is your job. This is your calling. As biological men (under the guise of being “trans”) continue to enter spaces segregated for women, beat out girls in female athletic competitions, and violently injure their female opponents, I have one question:...

Spurgeon: A Fighter and a Lover
Spurgeon fearlessly defended truth while displaying gospel unity.
Spurgeon was solidly on the side of “simple people who believed in plenary inspiration” and the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. And he was willing to align himself in battles for truth with gospel-loving Christians…with whom he differed on important but somewhat lesser matters. Spurgeon was a fighter and a lover. In this, he... Continue Reading
