Why was God calling me to do something so radically different from anything I had ever done before? Was it all up to me? How would I know that God would provide for my family if I moved in faith? What would happen if we failed? In 2002, I had a plane ticket to fly... Continue Reading

Balaam’s: “Chief, Chief, have you heard about the uprising? Several underling leaders are going crazy? They’re writing about our plans, they’re speaking out, they’re advocating not going along, they do not trust the Grand Plan, the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the . . .” N.

“Darryl,” a 36-year-old Presbyterian minister who says he’s “progressive-minded,” told interviewers, “I reject the virgin birth. I reject substitutionary atonement. I reject the divinity of Jesus.

The United States House of Representatives just passed a health care reform bill that I and lots of other Christians opposed. Such legislation should concern us. There... Continue Reading

Bradley: “Read this document and see for yourself. The PCA’s work on this is somewhat embarrassing by comparison.” On the Missouri-Synod’s website on the section covering Social/Ethical Issues you will find the most progressive and helpful discussion on race of any confessional Protestant denomination in America (Racism and the Church [1994]). The first untenable assumption... Continue Reading
