What the One-Anothers Do
The one-anothers form a crucial category of instruction for the life of the church.
Anything we hope to accomplish in our stirring one another up to love and good deeds, our bearing one another’s burdens, our hospitality to one another, our exhortation of one another, or our serving one another—can only flourish by the power of God. In the life of the believer, there can be tendency to make... Continue Reading
Texas Megachurch Announces Decision to Leave United Methodist Denomination
At least 500 UMC churches in Texas, including four of the top six by membership, have left or are leaving.
Many conservative congregations nationwide have left the UMC in recent months or are in the process of leaving because they disagree with the denomination’s stance on issues including same-sex marriage and the ordination of openly gay pastors. A Dallas-area church with more than 6,500 members said it will disaffiliate with the United Methodist Church... Continue Reading
The Ghastly Truth about “Gender Transitioning” Is Coming Out, and Liberal Elites Can’t Stop It
Facts about the damage caused by transgenderism are forcing their way into the mainstream, one story at a time.
Children who have been ruined by transgender ideology are coming forward and speaking “their truth” on every platform available to them, and their stories are heartbreaking. And photos of children who have undergone transition surgery…are horrifying to people even when those posting them are doing so positively. (LifeSiteNews)—It is no surprise that progressives are...

What Does Solus Christus Mean?
Luther recognized that in his day people had become enslaved to the sacramental system of the Roman Catholic Church, and instead of looking to Christ for their standing before God they looked to the Church.
Solus Christus was needed in the sixteenth century and is needed in the twenty-first century in order to press upon us the fact that our relationship with God can be mediated by none other than Christ alone. Whatever age we live in, whether the age of the Reformers or the present age, we are tempted... Continue Reading
The Second “Coming” Already Happened…but Not in the Way You’re Thinking (Part 2)
When God comes against a people for their sins, His coming is always spiritual, covenantal, always in the apocalyptic genre, and always in the context of divine judgment.
Jesus promised a sign would occur in the heavens, when He ascended there, sat on the throne to reign, and began the work of putting all His enemies under His feet. His Kingship is the sign! Nickel Therapy Sessions and Judgment Comings The melancholy boy walked timidly away from the five-cent therapy booth, questioning... Continue Reading
An Alternative to Winsomeness
No one who is faithful in emulating Christ and declaring his truth is likely to be perceived as winsome by the world.
The irony is that it is only when our virtue is recognized as commendable by unbelievers that we stand to win them to our faith or compel them to regard us favorably. Aspiring to be winsome will not likely gain their approval or conversion; but demonstrated virtue sometimes does. That being so, why not strive... Continue Reading
Into The Anthropological Chaos
It is hard to find one high-profile critic of the movement who was taken with real seriousness by Revoice advocates.
And now we have the apparent arrival of gender ideology into the mix. I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I predict that even this will be blamed on the conservatives and the traditionalists because they were intransigent and not loving enough to the first iteration of Revoice. But whatever... Continue Reading
The Grace of Remembering
The Christian life is often fueled most of all by remembering those truths that God has already revealed to us.
We need to remind ourselves of those precious truths of the gospel—namely, that through our union with Christ in His death and resurrection, the power of sin has been broken, the guilt of our sin has been forgiven and dealt with, and the assurance of God’s presence secured to us. Today marks 21 years... Continue Reading
The Case for Kids
The paradigmatic affliction of the Old Testament, a barren womb, is now the great desire of nations.
When Genesis 5 traces the line from Adam to Noah, the refrain “and he died” is a reminder of the curse of death—but that each man had a son is a reminder of the promise that comes through birth (Gen. 3:15). The God who has put eternity into our hearts (Eccl. 3:11) also means to... Continue Reading
The “F” Word: The Revival of Fundamentalism
If those who cast stones of criticism by using the term fundamentalist are referring to a steady opposition to theological error and a defense of the faith once delivered to the saints—I want to be called a fundamentalist.
An improper use of the term fundamentalism will create a false narrative that anyone who is opposed to critical race theory, intersectionality, or views Marxism as a threat to the church is merely an unlearned and overzealous right-winged Christian Nationalist who gleans theology from Tucker Carlson rather than Jesus Christ. The way in which... Continue Reading
