Why Courtship is Fundamentally Flawed
I grew into as big an opponent of dating as you could find. Dating was evil and Courtship, whatever it was, was godly, good and Biblical.
But the Bible is surprisingly quiet when it comes to laying out a system of courtship. Courtship Systems are cultural, and the Bible rarely advocates one cultural approach over another. God’s heart is that every tribe and tongue come worship him without having to surrender their food, language or other cultural distinctives in the process.... Continue Reading
You See that Happy Missionary Family Smiling Out of the Postcard on Your Fridge?
Their marriage is probably hanging by a thread.
Nobody talks about how much pressure answering the call to missions puts on a marriage and few people understand the risk of their marriage imploding because they are on the field.

Sweden Can’t Deport Christian Convert Back to Iran (Yet)
Canada also stalled over Iranian Christian 'war criminal', while Czech Republic will deport 25 Iraqi Christians.
Sweden also has company in its attempts to send Iranian Christians back to Iran. Last month, Canada’s federal court ordered the Immigration and Refugee Board to re-examine the case of an Iranian police lieutenant-colonel who fled to Canada after converting to Christianity.

5 Reasons Why I Became a Presbyterian
In the fall of 2015, my wife and I decided to become Presbyterians (PCA)
“Church order is probably one of the things Presbyterians are best known for. Each church in the PCA has to subscribe to the Book of Church Order, which basically tells each church how the they are to function. Now it is true that having such firm processes in place can be the cause of much... Continue Reading
On The Masters Opening Day, Jordan Spieth Shares The Inspiring Story Of His Hope In Jesus
The second-youngest man to ever win the Masters shared that he desperately needs Christ
“To say that Jordan Spieth’s career is something quite remarkable, would be the understatement of the century. His winnings last year alone totaled $23 million – not bad for a 22-year-old. But there’s no obnoxious athlete ego here.” Jordan Spieth is one of the youngest and most successful pro golfers of our time. But there are few things about... Continue Reading
Here Is The Inevitable Next Step in Our Culture’s Quest to Redefine Marriage
There’s even a term for it. “Genetic Sexual Attraction.” GSA.
The marriage laws of this country have never said people can marry whomever they love. Same-sex marriage advocates make it seem as if they are singled out unjustly. But, that is not the case. There have always been restrictions on marriage such as age, gender, biological relationships, number of spouses, etc. What same-sex marriage advocates... Continue Reading
Is God a Law-Breaker?
Furtick’s claim that “God broke the law for love” is laden with at least 9 serious errors
Let’s keep this simple. Sin is fundamentally lawlessness. It is breaking God’s law. Declaring that God broke the law is to declare that he is a sinner. But so great is God’s hatred for sin (law breaking) that it required the death of his Son for sinners to be saved. So, to say that “God... Continue Reading
Saeed Abedini on Marriage Troubles: ‘My Life Is Harder Now Than When I Was in Prison’
He was asked in an interview to address some of the things his wife, Naghmeh, has said about him
“I can say my life after I got released is harder than when I was in prison because of the media and all the false accusations. After my freedom, people who prayed for me for years every night couldn’t rejoice for my freedom because of the things in the media,” Abedini told local news station... Continue Reading
Has Ken Ham Embraced Evolution?
Young-earth creationists have embraced speciation—within defined limits, mind you—almost as long as young-earth creation has been a movement.
What young-earth creationists deny is that speciation has occurred at the levels of order, class, phylum, or kingdom. One order of animals cannot change into another order of animals; animals and plants do not share a common ancestor. In other words, unless I am misunderstanding something, the article Keathley cites is really only saying what... Continue Reading
Actually, Most Evangelicals Don’t Vote Trump
The numbers tell a different story than the headlines.
Across all the states, the March 15 elections showed that, on average, a super-majority of 60 percent of evangelicals voted for someone other than Trump. Furthermore, there continues to be strong evidence that the more religious a voter is, the less likely they are to support Donald Trump. For example, in Missouri exit polls, which... Continue Reading
