A furor has arisen in recent days over a statement made by Donald Trump about the Constitution — oh, wait! Actually, his statement was about the unconstitutional and criminal activity of Democrat operatives who stole the 2020 election, or at least acted in ways that raised serious questions about the validity of Joe Biden’s win. […]
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not […]
A challenge Paul gave Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1-2 is a good challenge for us in 2023. Paul wrote, You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to […]
You must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best. On the back of Satan’s neck is a nail scarred footprint. —C. S. Lewis— Key point: You show me an authentic Christian, and I’ll show you someone who hasn’t bought into the idea that all opinions are equally valid. In […]
In an open letter to Tennessee’s Lt. Governor, Speaker of the House, and every member of the Tennessee legislature released on or around April 17, 2023, Brent Leatherwood, President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), expressed strong support for Governor Bill Lee’s gun-control proposal. Although the governor avoids using the […]
So many idealistic political movements for a better world have ended in mass-murdering dictatorships. Giving leaders enough power to create ‘social justice’ is giving them enough power to destroy all justice, all freedom, and all human dignity. —Thomas Sowell— Key point: Evangelical elites who rely on CRT and promote it are misrepresenting (and therefore lying […]
I recently had the privilege of reading and reviewing Chris Skates’ new book, Moonshine Over Georgia (available here). Today, June 1, is the official launch day for this novelization of a law officer’s true — and riveting — story. Although certain literary licenses were taken in the telling of Officer Miller’s story, the man really lived — […]
INTRODUCTION The blurring of clarity is the compromising of truth. —Pastor Jeff Kliewer— Key point: Tim Keller was a pastor and spiritual leader who is revered and respected by many. Even so, his reputation as an evangelical conservative is inconsistent with his track record of casting doubt on God’s Word through ambiguous and manipulative statements […]
CASTING DOUBT ON THE NATURE AND MEANING OF GOD’S LAW It is sad for me to have to add Tim Keller to the list of Christian leaders we can no longer trust to defend either the gospel or biblical truth. —Phil Congdon, Senior Pastor, New Braunfels Bible Church, New Braunfels, Texas— Key point: Tim Keller, […]
CASTING DOUBT ON GOD’S CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON CIVIC DUTY AND RACE RELATIONS Here is the great evangelical disaster — the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this — namely accommodation: the evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirt of the age. First, there has been […]
CASTING DOUBT ON THE AUTHORITY AND RELIABILITY OF GOD’S WORD “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” —Jesus, in Luke 6:46— Why defend Genesis when so many people don’t even believe in Jesus? Why not concentrate on defending the big issues, like the Gospel and the […]
CASTING DOUBT ON BIBLICAL TEACHINGS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY There are many inappropriate and unloving ways to uphold the truth, but there never can be a loving way to distort it. — “Clarity Needed,” a Word Foundations article first published in April, 2015 — My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall […]
The Gospel is an individual promise with serious collective implications, not the other way around. Collective salvation is a quasi-religious concept reflected in liberation theology, the Social Gospel, and social justice. It’s not Christian theology. We are accountable for our own sins, not the sins of others (2 Cor. 5:10). Salvation is “collective” only in […]
This article is available in a reproducible PDF file here. The group met one warm, Summer evening in George Griscom’s backyard. It was just a social gathering, but before long the discussion focused on ways to reach the people of the city with the gospel. George and Ethel were especially concerned about their next-door neighbors, […]
Issue #1: Is Jesus the only way to God? Especially in relation to this question, winsomeness has become an ideal that focuses more on avoiding offending people than warning them about the consequences of offending God. Christians must learn to articulate clearly and urgently what these consequences are, and why. In an article explaining “Why […]
Issue #2 Jesus said a lot of things that offended people Issue #3: Being an authentic Christian will offend some people. Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:12, “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” Significantly, in 2 Timothy 3, Paul began to write about the last days and […]
