  • Is Roe the End?

    A Historic Moment Today, June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. In this monumental decision, the Court ruled there is no constitutional protection for abortion and returned the matter to the States. In other words, each State must now decide whether to make abortion illegal, legal, or restricted in some capacity. This…

  • On Rick Warren, Women Pastors, and “Secondary Issues”

    On June 14, 2022, during the Southern Baptist Convention’s Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church was given the opportunity to speak at the Messengers’ microphone for approximately five minutes (more than any other Messenger at the time). Pastor Warren gave an impassioned statement about his love for the SBC and…

  • Book Review – Christianity and Wokeness

    I was fortunate to be part of the Launch Team for Owen Strachan’s new book, “Christianity and Wokeness.” As such, I was able to read an early edition of the book sent out to all Launch Team members to read and review prior to the release of the book. I must say that this text…

  • Philosophies and Empty Deceits – The Battle for the Sufficiency of Scripture

    In his letter to the Colossians, Paul repeatedly urges his readers to grow in faith, maturity, and knowledge. And from that growth, he calls on them to live in such a manner as they honor and obey God. It is precisely because Christ has redeemed them and made them new creations that the Colossians are…

  • Math is Not Relative But Critical Theory Is

    It is a simple math equation, one we all learned in grade school, 2+2=4. It’s pretty much a universal constant, right?  If you take 2 apples and add 2 more apples, you get four apples. It really doesn’t get much more simple than that.  Unless you have an agenda that is. Since the death of…

  • ”Merry Christmas, Now Buzz Off!”

    It started with a simple response to a less than charitable tweet, but it turned into a revelation of just how dark even politically conservative-minded persons can be. It is a bit of a rare thing to find a celebrity that holds a conservative political stance, mostly because Hollywood unashamedly blacklists them for not towing…

  • Can Social Justice and the Church Co-Exist?

    Social justice outrage is very en vogue these days. So much so, that even the professing church in America is becoming infected by this worldview. Social justice advocates argue that there is inequality in America at various levels (income, race, job opportunities, sexual identity, etc). These inequalities are considered to be unjust as it unfairly…

  • Less Does Not Equal More

    Within Evangelicalism, there seems to be a common strain of thought that, while well-intentioned, causes great spiritual harm to our youth. The idea is that, if we give our youth too much biblical teaching, we will somehow cause them to run far away from Christ. The stated argument is that too much exposure to the…

  • Obedience from Love

    Recently, my pastor taught from Romans 7, speaking of Paul’s inability to keep the law of his own accord and his realization of his need for a Savior. In the culmination of his teaching on the law, my pastor made a wonderful application about our obedience to God’s law: out of Christ, we cannot obey…

  • Stop Reading Revelation With the Headlines in Hand

    Author’s Note: As a premillennial dispensationalist, I’m a bit of an enigma to my biblically conservative brethren. It tends to follow that if you are a believer in the doctrines of grace and in cessationism, you will likely be amillennial in your eschatology. However, there are still many of us who hold to a premillennial…
