Why Andrew Brunson Never Heard from God in Prison
God was doing something much bigger with that movement of prayer than just sustaining me and then delivering me from prison. There was something much bigger going on.
Even though it was two years of the silence of God, I came out with a different intimacy, more confidence in my relationship with Him, which comes from having been tested and proving myself. It’s the difference between a soldier who has been trained and has skills, and one who has the same training and... Continue Reading
Mongol Leaders and Their Christian Wives
The khans’ toleration of Christianity had much to do with the intercession of their wives.
Sorghaghtani, Doquz, and Maria were only some of the many influential khatuns who steered the hearts of their Mongol khans to favor and promote the Christian communities in their lands. In fact, Pope Nicholas IV sent several letters to Christian women in Mongol courts to encourage them to continue their service to God. These included Elegag and Uruk, wives... Continue Reading
What I Wish I’d Known When I Was 19 And Had Sex Reassignment Surgery
At 19, I had surgery for sex reassignment; now closer to 50 it might be helpful for young people, and their parents, to hear what I wish I had known.
Surgery unshackled me from my body’s urges, but the destruction of my gonads introduced a different type of bondage. From the day of my surgery, I became a medical patient and will remain one for the rest of my life. I must choose between the risks of taking exogenous estrogen, which include venous thromboembolism and... Continue Reading
A Personal Report from the Ukrainian Battlefront
Today I watch photos and videos from liberated cities and villages of Kyiv region all day. My native Kyiv region.
Every time you tell me about the great Russian painting, I will tell you about the peaceful Ukrainians shot in the back in the Makariv district. And before they could shoot, the orcs tied their hands. About hundreds of corpses on the streets of Bucha, Irpen, Gostomel. About mass graves in the yards of residential... Continue Reading
The Lion of the Secession: Alexander Moncrieff and the Strength of the Church
If we would see revival and reformation it needs to start in the hearts of the people of God.
What would Moncrieff’s solution be to our troubles today? More Jesus Christ. Not His glory mixed with the wisdom of men, but His power and His gifts alone being the source of our trust and hope. In my study right next to a deer skull/antler mount is a picture of Seceder and original Marrow... Continue Reading
PCA Minister Jayson Duane Kyle Called Home to Glory
Jayson Kyle, 70, of Franklin, TN entered into his well-deserved heavenly rest on March 19, 2022.
In 2001 the Kyles moved to New York City where Jay began work as the Vice-President of Asia and Latin America for Redeemer City to City. While traveling the past 20 years throughout Asia and Latin America, Jay was fortunate to see fruit from his labor. What started as a partnership working in four cities... Continue Reading
The Thin Red Line
The "thin red line" between love and idolatry can be crossed when we give to another person the love that belongs uniquely to God.
There in the ICU room, with lines running into Tommy’s body, the beeping of monitors surrounding us, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead facing them, I had the incredible privilege of discussing with my dear daughter and dear son prioritizing Christ above all things. Two weeks ago last night, just before midnight, we... Continue Reading
Winston Churchill: A Surprising Champion of Christian Heritage
Churchill was remarkably clear-eyed about the dangers of the soulless and secular statism promoted by everyone from the Bloomsbury elites to the twin barbarisms of Bolshevism and Nazism.
Today, millions are eager to do away with every aspect of our Judeo-Christian heritage in the name of progress, foolishly believing that we can break apart the foundations of our civilization and yet survive. Churchill knew that this was a pernicious falsehood and dedicated his life to defending what he knew was precious. Fifty-seven... Continue Reading
Ramon Llull – The First Missionary to the Muslim World
Born in an affluent family, Llull married young and earned a position in the court of King James II of Aragon, where he lived a profligate life.
He invited the Moslem intellectuals to a debate. He said he had studied both religions and was willing to discuss them with them. If they could convince him of the superiority of Islam, he said, he was willing to convert. Many took up the challenge, and spent the first part of the debate listing the... Continue Reading
Mea Culpa
Why did I endorse “Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood” by Aimee Byrd, which contained significant points of concern for those who hold to the biblical pattern of male headship?
My conscience demands that I offer this retraction publicly, since my error was public. I know that some will be quick to respond in anger toward me. I accept that. It won’t be anything new. Others will be frustrated that I have not gone far enough, that I must publish an attack on Aimee Byrd... Continue Reading
