Fighting Atrophy
Necessarily the pandemic and the various restriction we have been living under mean that many areas of service have been restricted.
Some of us we haven’t felt comfortable serving, and if we’re honest we’ve secretly enjoyed the rest. I wonder if that’s telling us something to us about overwork and managing workloads for those who serve going forward as a church, but that’s another post for another time. For now we need to recognise that many... Continue Reading
The World’s Most Amazing Camera: Part 6 – Variations on a Theme
Each solution is well-designed, and we do not find any “in-between,” partially functioning eyes as if they were evolving.
Sighted organisms employ a wide variety of different designs for their visual system. But each system functions only if all its essential components are intact, without a trace of evolution. There is also evidence of the fall of man. Though neo-Darwinian evolution is not seen, evidence of “devolution” and degradation is abundant. Some animals have... Continue Reading
The Romans Road to Salvation
The word “gospel” literally means good news! The reason it’s good news is that there is bad news.
The question is often asked, how do I know if I’m saved? The simple answer is that if you have truly believed in Jesus Christ and put your faith in Him, God will transform you. The old ways of sin that you used to relish are going to fade, and the new life you live in... Continue Reading
Russell Moore and the Canaanization of the SBC
Moore was writing a Parthian shot public statement that there is a significant cancer of wickedness, racism, and abuse within the ranks of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Russell Moore’s recent actions highlight a major problem within the SBC, we have been Canaanized. As Israel during the time of the judges, many want to do what is right in their own eyes. This Canaanization runs deeper than we think. Remember, Moore was the head of the ERLC. In the SBC system, the church messengers ultimately appoint... Continue Reading
The Methods vs. The Message
Ultimately, evangelism is less about the method one uses and more about the message one proclaims.
Evangelism, remember, is the proclamation of the gospel—telling the story, announcing the news. Some fear that they don’t know enough to evangelize. I say, “Tell them what you do know.” Leave the defense of the truth claims to the apologist and hold forth the simple message of the gospel. Anyone who has the ability to... Continue Reading
Bill C-10: Canada’s Internet Censorship Bill
Are our fundamental freedoms are subject to the rule of law?
Bill C-10 isn’t about protecting Canadian content online, it’s about restricting content Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party do not approve of—it’s about restricting conservative and Christian content online. Yesterday, a judge ruled that James Coates’ rights and freedoms were not infringed on when the government of Alberta arrested and imprisoned him for over... Continue Reading
Banning Critical Race Theory?
The only way to fight bad ideas is with better ones.
While threats and intimidation have no place and teachers need legal protection from legalized bullying, to simply counter-censor bad ideas is to fail students. Not only do we risk teaching them not to think for themselves, we undermine their confidence that truth can be known and defended. A video that made the rounds on... Continue Reading
My Woke Employees Tried to Cancel Me. Here’s How I Fought Back and Saved My Nonprofit.
After years of serving victims of trauma, Grace Daniel and her husband came under attack by employees who embraced "woke" ideology. Instead of letting their organization flounder, Grace fought back.
I am convinced that critical social justice can and will be defeated ultimately for the sole reason that it’s so fundamentally misaligned with reality. However, the tragic truth is that much collateral damage is being done to individuals and institutions where this ideology has already taken root. The more people who decide to take a...

Marxism and Racism: The Issue Is Never the Issue
The great task before us is to realize that the godless cosmology of cultural Marxism, seducing the rising generations, is the latest form of a powerful and political pagan Oneism.
Certainly, every person must constantly check his or her heart as to the presence of racism—for all kinds of races, by all kinds of races. Christians, however, must be resolutely aware in this day and age of the great challenge before us in the rising forces of ideological Marxism, which pursues “the forcible overthrow of...

The Lord’s Supper Is Not Penance
To believers the Supper means that we unconditionally received. It means that Christ is with us and for us, that we are united to him and he communes with us.
He said, “This is my body.” We are to receive it as such and we are fed by it because it is his body. We confess, “This banquet is a spiritual table at which Christ communicates himself to us with all his benefits. At that table he makes us enjoy himself as much as the merits of his suffering and death, as he nourishes,... Continue Reading
