For all the commendable political and practical solutions, the ultimate and longest-lasting solutions are spiritual, and begin with sharing in God’s heart for the oppressed. Throughout the Bible, He is revealed as a God of justice (Isa. 30:18) who loves justice (61:8). For God, justice does not just mean punishing evildoers but also protecting and delivering...

“In my case, this was further demonstrated when I was diagnosed with an intersex condition, having been born with both male and some female organs,” continued Buchleiter. “I either had to view my body as a mistake … or allow for the fact that God is truly the master creator — operating outside the boundaries...

Those of us who are concerned about the trajectory of the PCA are not imagining things nor are we straining at gnats. Our concerns are doctrinal, ethical, and substantive. The PCA is not experiencing anything unprecedented in our current moment. We have the sad history of so many American denominations from which to learn. We... Continue Reading
