    “Give Us A King!”

    How easy is it for us to forget the blessings of God and look to the world for affirmation and provision? Sadly, not very hard at all. When Samuel was called by God to be a prophet and judge to Israel, the nation was already in a sorry state. The people once again were in

  • It Is Not Kind To Be “Nice”

    It Is Not Kind To Be “Nice”

    According to Christian author and preacher Voddie Bauchum, if there is an 11th commandment in the evangelical church, it is, “Thou shalt be nice!” To put it succinctly, many Christians today believe that the greatest sin one can commit is to make someone feel bad about themselves in some way. The sin is even greater

  • Shall We Call Down Fire?

    Shall We Call Down Fire?

    Christians in Western Culture today find themselves at what feels like a unique point in history. The culture, previously built upon Christian principles, is now awash in decadent depravity on an immeasurable scale.

  • Savage Wolves Among Us

    Savage Wolves Among Us

    Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own

  • The Gospel Must Lead Our Politics

    The Gospel Must Lead Our Politics

    There has been much debate in recent years over how Christians should engage the current culture war within our nation. On one hand, many Christians believe such engagement should be primarily political, establishing activist groups, electing professing Christians to office, and passing explicitly Christian legislation. Other Christians believe that the church should not be participating

  • Your Sins Are Not Better Sins

    Your Sins Are Not Better Sins

    Wickedness abounds in our current era. And as lawlessness continues unabated, especially when it sets its eyes on tearing down any and everything that bears the slightest resemblance to God’s commandments, it can be quite easy for the Christian to become righteously indignant toward sinners. Christians see the evil they promote and celebrate, feel the

  • Being Christian in an Anti-Christ Culture

    Being Christian in an Anti-Christ Culture

    There can be no debate today that Christians living in America and other Western nations are living in an anti-Christian culture. The proliferation of sexual depravity, infant murder in the womb, gender confusion, and pluralism in both philosophy and religion make it clear that Christianity no longer holds the influence it once had. Furthermore, ideological

  • A Christian’s Identity is in Christ Alone

    A Christian’s Identity is in Christ Alone

    Within professing evangelicalism is the tendency to prefix an adjective to one’s identity as a Christian. While some may seem a bit innocuous by describing the stripe of their faith (Reformed, biblical, or born-again Christian) or their national citizenship (American Christian), others have attached an ethnic modifier (i.e., white-Christian, black-Christian, Asian-Christian, etc.). Still others have

  • Such Were Some of You

    What is a Christian? A Christian is a person who was once a rebel sinner, at war with God through wicked works. But by God’s merciful redeeming grace, he or she has been freed from their sins and adopted into His family through the propitiatory work of Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:21-26). Because Jesus died in
