The RTS Professor Against Social Justice
Social justice, then, confuses different conceptions of justice, of merit, chases after an undeserved and jealous-based equality that never leads to equality, but only tyranny.
Dr. Ronald Nash spent much of his academic career assessing and critiquing social justice. After years of research he offers three arguments against the growing cancer: 1. It is reductionistic and far too simplistic in its formula 2. It invariably chokes freedom and life from society and 3. Social justice inevitably gives power and money... Continue Reading
God Is Always at Work for Us and for Our Good
Jesus submitted to arrest not because He was helpless, but because He accepted the Father’s will for His death and our redemption.
This psalm reminds all of us that God is always at work for us and for our good. In the New Testament, the Apostle John makes the same point: “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). We do not need to fear, for God will... Continue Reading
In Non-Essentials Liberty?
The ethos of the PCA is decidedly not “in non-essentials liberty.” And I cannot think of a single denomination where that is actually the practice.
When it comes to ordained clergy in the PCA identifying themselves as gay in “orientation,” let us not pretend as though we really believe that liberty is called for. I can think of churches in the PCA that would not allow me within 100 yards of their pulpit to preach on the subject of homosexuality... Continue Reading
How Does God Harden Hearts?
Some of the most frightening verses in all of Scripture speak of the judgment of God where He gives sinners over to their sins
When God hardens a sinner it is an act of judgment with regard to the sinner, but with respect to His own plan, God not only keeps sin from frustrating it, but His power and wisdom are so great that He actually causes the sinful rebellion of His enemies to bring to pass His good... Continue Reading
Critical Race Theory In Canadian Schools
Children are being indoctrinated to accept the critical race theory concepts of systemic racism, white privilege, intersectionality, power, allyship, and more.
Though many people—especially Canadians—remain in denial over the prevalence of critical race theory in schools, many public educators are committed to indoctrinating your children into accepting critical race theory. Children cannot oppose them, but you and I can. That’s why I’m in the middle of producing a curriculum on critical race theory for you and... Continue Reading
We Can’t Be Double-Minded About Truth
It becomes us to be decided as to what we teach, and to teach it in a decided manner.
We stand in a very solemn position, and ours should be the spirit of old Micaiah, who said, “As the Lord my God liveth, before whom I stand, whatsoever the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.” Neither less nor more than God’s word are we called to state, but that we are bound... Continue Reading
Is That the Worst You can Do?
This isn’t cockiness, but confidence. Confident in God.
If somebody cusses you out, shrug it off. If you’re fined for preaching the gospel—keep preaching it! If you’re thrown in prison for disobeying orders, preach the gospel in prison. If they sentence you to death because of your faith, preach the gospel to your executor until your last breath. “The assured Christian may... Continue Reading
The Beautiful Meaning of Marital Sexual Intimacy
Since marital intimacy is holistic, the marriage bed can offer a good indication of how the marriage-wide intimacy is faring.
In the end, the beauty of complementary, life-uniting intimacy should progressively develop in quality and skill over the fifty years or more after saying “I do.” Fifty years later, not only will the gospel reenacting husband and wife have become more skilled covenant renewers, their whole lives and not just their creaking bodies will display...

Let the Kids Say It’s Boring (The Adults Think It Anyway)
Even if you do tend the boring side, love covers a multitude of tedious sermons.
People are inclined to be more charitable when they know that we love them. When we take an interest in them. When we actively serve them and they can see us serving them. Stuart Olyott used to say you can say pretty much anything to people if they know that you love them. The Bible... Continue Reading
Jonah and the Justice of the Cross
The story of Jonah is in fact more proof that, believe it or not, God loves sinners.
So to run away from him is in fact to run into the disaster. If you keep ignoring him, going your own way, you are only headed to your own destruction. Instead, run to him. Run to him. Right now. If you do, you will find not a wrathful, angry, condemning God but a loving, merciful, smiling... Continue Reading
