Evangelicals for Kamala?
My goal here is not to discuss all of the political issues, but to show how critical this election is and what part evangelicals must play in it.
The evangelical world still holds a powerful weapon in its hands. Because of the electoral college, what really matters in elections is what happens in each states. In 2020 Biden beat Trump in Arizona by 10,935 votes. In Georgia, Biden won by 14,152 votes. In Wisconsin, Biden won by 20,546 votes. That’s a total of... Continue Reading
Broken Cisterns
We are told to walk by the Spirit, but how often have you found yourself walking by the flesh?
To forsake God for other things is wicked. We must always remember, “it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all” (John 6:63). We must be aware that apart from Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5). He alone is the fountain of living waters, and anything else is a... Continue Reading
Cozying Up with the World
The Church of England continues its descent with its theology of sex.
The account provided on the Church of England’s website indicates that the discussion was infused with the usual pious jargon. The archbishop of Canterbury captures the sentiment nicely: “I cannot imagine the Church of England without any particular group within it, and without her reaching effectively to anyone outside it through inclusion and justice, lived in...

Mathieu Majal Désubas – A Young Huguenot Martyr
The Roman Catholic Church and the French government continued their campaign against Protestants. On 12 December 1745, while Désubas was staying at a friend’s house in the course of a preaching tour, he was betrayed for 3000 pounds and arrested by royal guards.
Désubas is remembered on February 3 by the Lutheran Church. He has been the subject of several ballades, and his name is imprinted on a plaque standing in the Plain of Montpellier in remembrance of the Huguenot pastors who have lost their lives for their faith. Huguenots in 18th-century France were well-aware of the... Continue Reading
Follow the Truth, Not Your Heart
How can humans gain control over their faulty desires?
The Christian worldview teaches that the heart is deceitfully wicked and that transformation happens when our minds are conformed to the truth. According to the New Age worldview, the mind is a trickster, so we should follow our hearts. This is a complete inversion of the truth. The New Age teaches the opposite of Christianity...

Changing the Bible?
Responding to a blog post: Christ fulfilled the law, he didn't change it.
The author of the article states ,”Although it makes me uncomfortable, I can’t get away from the nagging feeling that Jesus is appealing to a truth that is higher and deeper and, dare I say, truer, than scripture. My evangelical and inerrantist roots cringe at putting those last three words together: “truer than scripture.” And... Continue Reading
Hypocrisy and Its Answer
Hypocrites render God lip service without heart service.
What is the solution to the problem of hypocrisy? The answer is Christ, who is the exact opposite of everything that constitutes hypocrisy. Jesus “remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself” (2 Tim. 2:13). This means that He cannot be other than what He really is. He cannot act contrary to Himself as the truth (John 14:6). All...

The Trouble with Childhood Trauma
Rob Henderson's powerful memoir of family breakdown, foster care, and America's social status system.
Rob Henderson’s memoir Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class addresses the reality of how unstable environments permanently hurt children. It’s an especially good read because Henderson not only grew up in such a troubled environment, but is also a Ph.D. psychologist from Cambridge University. You may have noticed that I frequently link to... Continue Reading
Christian Witness at the Olympics
Athletes from around the globe boldly profess their faith in Jesus during both victory and defeat.
Christians also face intense persecution in African nations like Nigeria, making the witness of athletes like Rasheedat Ajibade especially powerful. In one Instagram post, the young soccer star shows off a T-shirt with the words “Jesus Revealed, Jesus Glorified, Haleluya.” Another shirt reads simply “Thank You Jesus,” with a reference to the prophet Isaiah. She writes, “Beyond my... Continue Reading
The Fiery Preaching of John Knox
Although Knox was a scholar and author, at the heart of his ministry was the pulpit.
In God’s providence, John Knox led one of the most interesting lives of the Reformers. He was a preacher, a pastor, a galley-slave on a ship, a Bible translator, commentator, and a Reformer. It was during these years that he lived in various countries and served alongside some impressive figures—such as John Calvin in Geneva.... Continue Reading
