Scottish Venue that Canceled 2020 Franklin Graham Event to Pay Over $100K for Violating UK Equality Act
Multiple groups argued that Graham’s public remarks regarding LGBTQ+ issues and the Muslim faith constituted dangerous hate speech.
According to the Christian Post, Graham said he is “grateful to God for this decision,” viewing the ruling as “a clear victory for freedom of speech and religion in the UK.” Graham further stated the lawsuit was not about receiving a settlement but “about the preservation of religious freedom in the UK.” On Monday (October 24),...

Let the Scriptures be Fulfilled | Mark 14:43-52
The day is ever nearer when all creatures will bow their knee to Christ as Lord, willingly or unwillingly.
Jesus alone refused to flee, fight, or summon the very angels that He long ago brought into existence. This is why we confess that salvation is of Christ alone. Peter and the other apostles who together with the prophets of old became the foundation of the Christ’s church are just as much recipients of God’s grace as... Continue Reading
Letters to An Agnostic # 1—God is a Person
God’s existence is only a fraction of the really important question.
To know if God exists, you have to begin dealing with him as a person. As in, “God, if you do exist, I would like to know you”, or “Deep down, God, I sense you exist, but I admit I do not want that to be true.” If there is no one on the other... Continue Reading
Remembering Who You Are Matters; How We Emphasise What We Are Matters More
If we’re fundamentally righteous and holy, united to Christ and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, won’t we be moved to acts that are the kind of things you’d expect righteous and holy people to do?
Whilst we still sin and thus evidently are still sinners, we are more fundamentally holy and righteous in the sight of God, children adopted into Jesus’ sonship, indwelt and empowered by the Holy Spirit…When we remember and recall that is who we truly are now, I suspect we will be encouraged into living in line...

The Modern Myth of the Secular State
People Reacting against “Theocracy” Should Really Look in the Mirror
As Francis Schaeffer taught, if there is no God above the state, the state becomes its own god. Again, it is not whether there will be a theocracy, but which one will we live under. NBC’s Chuck Todd recently devoted a Meet The Press segment to what he called “Rising Theocracy” with the apparent intention to first, scare our pants... Continue Reading
Jesus and Apocalyptic Imagery
The key to understanding the Biblical apocalyptic genre is found right in the pages of Holy Scripture.
The apocalyptic genre takes old images of the past, and the author applies them to his present people and discusses near-term important events that would soon happen in their future. In Matthew 24, Jesus plunders the pages of the Old Testament, grabbing pregnant images and metaphors, to speak volumes of information to His disciples in... Continue Reading
Good Shame, Bad Shame, and Ugly Shame
Much of the time, shame is an indication of a conscience that still functions properly.
Christ came to you at your lowest and he positively transformed you from an enemy to a friend. The Father’s overflowing, gushing love for you he displayed when he sent his Son to win your reconciliation with his life, and purchase your reconciliation with his death—all while you were breathing out venom and hatred and...

Incarnation versus Excarnation
"Dysconnected" Breaks Down the Transgender Anti-Gospel and Exposes Its Root Conflict with Biblical Anthropology
With teens increasingly identifying as non-binary and transgender, this other side of the story needs to be told. Don Johnson’s new documentary Dysconnected: The Real Story Behind the Transgender Explosion does just that—and much more. Through a combination of powerful personal stories and interviews with top-notch scholars and medical experts, Dysconnected explores why transgenderism is on the rise, the understanding of...

Of Doctrinal Standards & Good Faith Subscription
A denial of any doctrine expressed in the Westminster Standards of the PCA is important and must be examined.
Most PCA elders have accepted Good Faith Subscription in the sense that they acknowledge stated differences are permitted within the denomination. However, there is a lack of clarity about what should happen once a stated difference is made known. BCO 21-4.f states that it is the obligation of presbyteries to consider whether the difference undermines... Continue Reading
John Davenant, Another Enticement for the “Reformed” (In Name Only)
For Davenant, it is ‘possible’ for those not elected unto salvation to be saved, ‘possible’ for those not chosen in Christ to be baptized into the work of the cross.
That God’s omnipotence and decree are not mutually exclusive entailments implies that the latter does not diminish the former, though it will certainly curtail and redirect its decretive unleashing in ordinary providence. Davenant and his recent followers not only miss this. Is there any indication they’ve even considered it? “If it be denied that... Continue Reading
