Why Am I Like This?—Coming to Grips with Your Sinful Nature

6 October 2026 at 05:04
I don’t think we should ever think or say, “I would never do that.” Why? Because of original sin. We have the capacity for unspeakable evils in our hearts. The only reason we do not pursue these unspeakable evils is the restraining grace of our God. Let us be grateful for the grace of God.... Continue Reading

Gay Christianity’s War Against the Moral Law of God

6 October 2026 at 05:01
Gay Christianity despises the law of God. Christians must confess and cling to God’s law in the face of popular oppostion to what God commands. When we do that, we find a level path for our feet and a nurturing stream by which we can build fruitful lives. Don’t be blown about by different doctrines,... Continue Reading

Christians Going to College Have to Be Intellectually Prepared

6 October 2026 at 05:01
Christians need to think more seriously about how to prepare the next generation of believers to handle the intellectual challenges of the university environment (and beyond). We need to do more than prepare them morally and practically; we need to train their minds to engage effectively with an unbelieving world…Ultimately, it will require a macroshift...

The Reason for Restoring Virtue

6 October 2026 at 05:01
John Adams said in 1776: “Public Virtue cannot exist in a Nation without private, and public Virtue is the only Foundation of Republics.” It is easy to look out there and see how immoral things are and call for changes, especially when we are not in the driver’s seat politically, but we must also cultivate...

I Thought I Knew How to Parent

6 October 2026 at 05:01
As a parent of a child with disabilities, you may not be disabled yourself, but you bear the extra load in a way similar to what your child bears every day. Are you carrying it yourself or trusting in your Father to strengthen and lift you up. Holiness is not simply an aura or a... Continue Reading

The Ongoing Suicide of the UK

6 October 2026 at 05:01
“We have harboured those who hated us’, wrote Margaret Thatcher, in the shadow of the 9/11 Islamist attacks. ‘Tolerated those who threatened us and indulged those who weakened us’. Thatcher was absolutely right then, and she is right now. Look around London and you will find countless examples of the ruling class harbouring, if not... Continue Reading

What About the Unforgivable Sin?

6 October 2026 at 05:01
The One who promises never to cast you out is the One who “himself bore our sins in his body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24), and who rose again on the third day. He does not throw away those He died to save. When your own heart will not stop accusing you, the apostle... Continue Reading

Abraham, Part 11: Fulfillment

6 October 2026 at 05:01
Moses tells us, Abraham settles in (Ge 21.28-29). He plants tamarisk tree there (Ge 21.33), indicating the abundance of water. And he worships, for the first time by this name, “the Everlasting God.” The God who keeps his promise after 25 years will keep this covenant forever. What’s the significance of this event? Why does... Continue Reading

The Church in the Age of Therapy

5 October 2026 at 05:04
 The insights of Freud (and many others) revealed truths about our inner lives that, while not as ironclad as thermodynamics or as practically useful as germ theory, were arrived at with enough rigor for psychology to consider itself a science alongside others. Psychology told compelling stories, such as the idea that moral obligations are at... Continue Reading

The Mark of the Beast and The Mark of God

5 October 2026 at 05:01
The Blasphemer is still at work today, and he’s using the same techniques he’s used since the Garden of Eden. Don’t be duped by the demonic magician. He loves diverting our attention from the true threat hiding in plain sight: when we worship ourselves or the broken things of this world instead of the true... Continue Reading

Preach to Your Soul

5 October 2026 at 05:01
There is another side to loneliness. The loneliness itself may be doing good work in you. It is not good for man to be alone, and that desire for connection, for brotherhood, for a wife and children, for a household of your own, can push a man to go farther, do different things, and challenge...

Rebuilding Intimacy: An Appeal to Husbands Who Have Been Unfaithful

5 October 2026 at 05:01
The one-flesh union of marriage includes the vulnerability of being physically seen and known. Nakedness in marriage is intended to be free from shame, yet many wives experience shame after sexual betrayal—comparison, fear of rejection, and memories of your sin can make intimacy feel dangerously exposing rather than safe. If your wife’s sense of shame... Continue Reading

The Seventh Commandment: You Shall Not Commit Adultery

5 October 2026 at 05:01
Adultery is listed and condemned directly in line with bestiality, homosexuality, incest, and other grossly immoral, deeply wicked sexual practices that pagan, godless people engaged in, so much so that the Lord spewed or vomited them out from the promised land that He then gave to His people (Lev. 20:23). To commit adultery, then, was... Continue Reading

Killing Grandma

5 October 2026 at 05:01
“The liberalization of euthanasia laws not only offends the West’s pre-modern moral and religious traditions but also cannot be justified on the uniquely modern idea that euthanasia is a rational means of enhancing the individual’s willful control over his body and life. The deeper problem, however, is that this development is best understood as an... Continue Reading

The Rise of the Jim Crow Theobros

5 October 2026 at 05:01
A decade ago, Partridge was a lifestyle blogger and social justice evangelical entrepreneur who had been “saved from success.” In 2015, he gave a TEDx talk called “How to Value People over Profits” based on his book of the same title. His most controversial view was that yoga pants are sinful.  In recent years, Partridge, who has more... Continue Reading

Could Ronald Reagan Help Us With AI?

5 October 2026 at 05:01
When you create an AI model to exploit vulnerabilities in an environment, guess what happens? It finds vulnerabilities in an environment. The issue seems to be that Anthropic didn’t think through all the implications of their testing and things got away from them. In other words, it was human error that was the proximate cause...

Settling for Less

4 October 2026 at 05:04
The fact of Sara’s aging body and barren womb and Abraham’s age of 99 did not deter the Creator of All. Understanding the reasons for Abraham’s faltering faith, God came again to reassure his friend of His promise. Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him. (Ge 17:3) What Abraham needed was a...

Genesis 12:10-20 ‘What not to do when you are afraid of people’

4 October 2026 at 05:01
Maybe you are protecting your image.  Maybe you fear what people would think if they knew what you are really like.  You are happy to talk about your successes but you never admit your failures.  You have never told anyone about those sins that so regularly get the better of you.  It leaves you feeling...

Christianity in the Age of Re-Enchantment

4 October 2026 at 05:01
The Environmental Handbook was published and distributed to thousands of students across the US and Canada. It contained an essay written by Lynne White Jr., titled “The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis,” that had been published in Science magazine three years earlier. It pushed for the re-enchantment of culture, creating a new influential narrative... Continue Reading

Praying to God the Father Is One of the Greatest Joys and Comforts

4 October 2026 at 05:01
When we pray God isn’t irritated by us. He’s not rolling his eyes at me when I ask the same thing over and over and over again. He doesn’t lose his patience through my stumbling words and imprecise petitions. He doesn’t give up because I can’t articulate what’s on my mind as well as I’d... Continue Reading
