Can We Reshape Ourselves into Whatever We Want?
Trueman traces the historical roots of many issues such as transgenderism and homosexuality, offering thoughtful biblical analysis as he uncovers the profound impact of the sexual revolution on modern human identity.
Thus, here I want to note the thought of three men who, while very different thinkers, helped shape the way we imagine human nature today: Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Charles Darwin. All three in their different ways provided conceptual justification for rejecting the notion of human nature and thus paved the way for the... Continue Reading
A Little Leaven: Confronting the Ideology of the Revoice Movement

Becoming Accountability That Works

As you consider the strengths and weaknesses of your accountability style, remember that, in the end, a struggler needs to be willing to do the hard work of fighting sin and pursuing faith.

‘The Gospel According to Satan’ by Jared Wilson
Book Review: This is a book that will help you identify and deconstruct some of the most popular lies in our culture today.
What I loved most about the book was Wilson’s commitment to biblical truth in the face of attractive ideas from our secular culture. The most potent lies are the ones that most resemble truth, and Satan knows this. He’s planted the lies we see in our culture, even in our Christian culture. When we believe them, we...

A Review of Greg Johnson’s New Book: “Still Time to Care”
The question was how to care for gay people who want to follow Jesus who promises abundant life;” “In the absence of a cure, what does care look like?”
It appears that it is to the sin of homosexuality alone that Christians must exercise such caution and censorship of the biblical and theological language. As Johnson puts it: “Our children and grandchildren are watching… I am not saying we are at risk of losing Christians who are attracted to members of the same sex.... Continue Reading
“R. C. Sproul: A Life,” by Stephen J. Nichols
Book Review: The first biography of Dr. R.C. Sproul.
Nichols, one of Sproul’s successors, does a fantastic job at bringing the reader into the story of God’s grace through His servant R.C. Sproul. As you work through each page, it is as if you are listening to Sproul himself, sitting at the fire next to him and hearing his own story. Down through... Continue Reading
Charting a Course to Restore Prisoners of Pornography
Chapter 3, excerpted from ‘Rescue Plan’ by Jonathan D. Holmes and Deepak Reju.
Limiting open access and anonymity starves the appetite of our sinful nature. But this takes time. Change doesn’t happen overnight. Addictions start early, are cultivated for years, and become ingrained as personal choices begin to rewrite our embodied existence. The longer the addiction has been cultivated, the longer it will take to get rid of... Continue Reading
Book Review: Just Do Something
DeYoung promotes the idea that God’s goodness, providence, and sovereignty can be trusted, even when we don’t know how His plan for our lives will unfold.
God has revealed his will for us in the Bible. As DeYoung states in the fifth chapter of his book, “Simply put, God’s will is your growth in Christlikeness.” He’s not nearly as concerned with the non-moral decisions of your day-to-day as He is your sanctification. Of course, God cares about where you work, who... Continue Reading
