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 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 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...

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...

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

“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

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

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 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 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

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...

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

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

“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

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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
