Exploring Overture 15 from the PCA General Assembly
Considering Overture 15 in light of the Westminster Standards, the PCA’s own AIC Report of Human Sexuality, and Overture 29 itself.
This issue has caused disunity, confusion, and chaos in the PCA for far too long. If we desire that this particular sword should depart our house, then we will acknowledge that Overture 29 needs Overture 15 to be effective and pass both through our presbyteries. The two overtures go hand-in-hand. The one works through the... Continue Reading
A Plea to Missouri Presbytery From A Fellow Presbyter
A plea to work together to restore peace and unity in the PCA
I trust that you are men driven by Christian character who will not countenance watching a sound church of Jesus Christ – your church – be torn asunder, especially by a small minority. If this is true, then give no support, encouragement or succor to any man who would refuse now to submit wholeheartedly to... Continue Reading
A Response to the Notion of ‘Reformed Catholicity’
A response from someone who was brought to faith in Christ from deep within Roman Catholicism, who didn’t even know what a Protestant was at the time.
It would be much more accurate to say, as Calvin does in the Institutes, that arising from under the all-seeing eye of the office of Pope, there had been voices who slowly began to catch visions of the arising theology that would blossom into the Reformation. These voices were not arising because of Romanism, but... Continue Reading
What To Do About Greg Johnson?
Over the past 4 years, Greg Johnson and his allies have attacked disagreeing brothers in the PCA and the greater Church of Christ with accusations of homophobia and hard-heartedness.
As an ordained PCA minister, his participation in Revoice and his determination to embrace a gay lifestyle and culture has given comfort and aid to one of the great modern movements attacking the church and orthodoxy. Furthermore, he has continued to write, speak, and make money off his self-ascribed role as a gay martyr trying... Continue Reading
A Response to Terry Johnson’s Review of SJC Case 2021-13, Dudt vs Northwest Georgia Presbytery
This response supports the action that the SJC ruled correctly in the case.
The SJC was considering two questions in this case. The first was whether the session at Midway erred in convicting Phil Dudt of the charges brought against him, and the second was whether the Northwest Georgia Presbytery erred in upholding that conviction. The SJC answered yes to both questions, and that ruling is the subject... Continue Reading
A Victory for Religious Liberty and Educational Pluralism
The Supreme Court rejects policies that exclude faith-based schools from private-school-choice programs.
Policies that exclude faith-based schools from private-school-choice programs are not just unconstitutional; they are unwise. Carson v. Makin is a victory not just for religious liberty but for educational pluralism. And the decision comes at a time when we need educational pluralism more than ever. A quarter-century ago, as a young attorney, I participated in the first... Continue Reading
Dobbs Isn’t the End. It’s the Beginning of a Ballot Measure Battle to Save Preborn Lives in Every State
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the infamous ruling from 1973 will give states the authority to create their own protections for life inside the womb.
Dobbs is not the end-all solution because there’s still plenty of pro-life work left to be done in states, especially those like Vermont where leftists are dreaming up new ways to hurt children. Conservatives and pro-lifers need to act now while the wind from possibly the largest Supreme Court decision in history is behind their... Continue Reading
Guilty of Christian Nationalism?
The growing politicization of sexual morals and the rejection of traditional governing principles in the West are truly leading us down a path to the normalization of “pagan nationalism.”
We find ourselves in an increasingly divergent clash, not of nationhood but of ultimate worldviews. Certainly the accusation of “Christian nationalism” fails to do justice to the Christian vison. The goal of the Christian faith is not social control but recognition of the cosmic lordship of God the Creator and Redeemer over all things, including... Continue Reading
Tom Hanks Gets Empathy Wrong
In our culture, a straight man playing a gay man in a piece of fictional drama risks being seen as indulging in an act of imperialist aggression.
Hanks is not motivated by a fear that gay actors are not getting roles in Hollywood movies. He is motivated by the desire to avoid, in his words, “inauthenticity”—presumably a critical comment on the dramatic representation of the suffering of gay men by a straight actor. Tom Hanks recently declared that if Philadelphia, the movie that... Continue Reading
Truth Is What Our Schools Need
Seeking “equity,” too many schools are simply giving up on learning standards and an aspiration for excellence.
In the name of “antiracism,” racism is being taught to American children. Fundamental facts of our country and its founding principles are at best being overlooked and at worst being distorted and denied. The following is excerpted from Hostages No More: The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child, published today... Continue Reading
