A Review of “Church Refugees” Leaving the Church But Not Their Faith Behind
They are being called the “dechurched” or the “dones,” who are leaving behind the church, but not their faith.
“So, the dones are leaving behind the church. But they do not necessarily leave their faith. In fact, it seems they have a strong desire to maintain their spiritual lives. The reason the Dones have dechurched themselves is not that they no longer believe in God. Rather, it is because they feel the church is... Continue Reading
What Is The Nature And Strategy Of Satan?
God is light and truth, Satan is darkness and deception.
So, how are we to defend ourselves from the strategy of Satan? What, if anything can we do? Well, I hope you noticed a big difference between the way that Eve responded to Satan and the way that Jesus responded to Satan. Eve failed to resist the Devil’s temptation, while Jesus obviously succeeded. Jesus succeeded... Continue Reading
Identity Confusion In The Church: Majority of U.S. Christians Don’t Know Who They Are, According To New Survey From Ligonier Ministries
Ligonier Ministries: survey reveals the overwhelming majority of U.S. evangelicals have accepted a view of human identity that aligns more with American society than the teaching of the Bible.
The fact that nearly two-thirds of U.S. evangelicals believe that humans are born in a state of innocence reveals that the biblical teaching of original sin is not embraced by most evangelicals. The Bible, however, makes clear that all humans are “by nature children of wrath” (Eph. 2:3). In other words, we are not sinners... Continue Reading
Australian Anglican Church Splits Over Same-Sex Marriage
The split follows the Australian Anglican Church’s decision to leave it up to each diocese to decide whether to bless same-sex unions.
Archbishop Davies, hit back at his comments, saying the diocese would “stay true to the bible’s teachings on sexuality” and reject the “revisionist theology” propagated by progressive archbishops in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Bishop Davies has been the dominant force in the conservative wing of the Anglican Church for nearly a decade, leading the... Continue Reading
Worship Is More Important Than We Think It Is
A regulative principle of worship suggests a regulative principle of everything for the church.
The regulative principle of worship suggests and bolsters a regulative principle of everything for the church. Doctrine, order, and doxology are a three-legged stool. When present and sturdy, these legs will bear great weight; when any are missing or compromised, collapse is imminent. Thesis: No confessional Presbyterian church will long remain confessional or presbyterian... Continue Reading
Look at the PCA Book (of Church Order)
Church members would benefit from the BCO’s wisdom; it can be of great use and value to lay believers in forming their thoughts about the church in its operation.
I challenge you to consider the BCO in light of what the Bible says about the church. Read it carefully and deliberately. If you disagree with a statement made in its pages, ask why, and investigate further. Ask your pastor and elders about it. Order pleases the Lord, and he desires for his people to... Continue Reading
Kingdom Race Theology: Is This God’s Plan or Something Else?
Dangerous definitions serve as the foundation for KRT.
The ideas that serve as the foundation of Kingdom Race Theology are dangerous and destructive. When paired with the challenges evident within the SBC, this work will take Southern Baptists in a dangerously leftward direction. KRT lacks biblical definitions of anthropology. It applies partiality to ethnic hatred—assuming that only whites (the group with power) can express... Continue Reading

Christian Reformed Church Stands Strong for Biblical Sexuality
The CRC Synod 2022 might go down as the most monumental meeting for the CRC of this generation for approving a strong stand for biblical marriage and sexuality.
The results were landslide decisions in favor of the historic church view of sexuality. Synod voted 131-45 to recommend the Human Sexuality Report to the churches. Synod then voted 123-53 to affirm that the traditional stance on sexuality is “confessional” and therefore binding on all officebearers. The Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRC) held its... Continue Reading
