Taking on the Revolutionary Program of Ibram X. Kendi

Kendi’s brand of antiracism contradicts sound doctrine. It falls to us to say so.

Written by Denny Burk | Wednesday, November 11, 2020

Kendi’s antiracism entails an overthrow of traditional family norms, Christian teaching about marriage, the American economic system, and indeed the entire social order. In other words, antiracism implies a revolution.   Anyone reading this site over the last several years has probably noticed my growing alarm about leftist “social justice” ideologies. I had already become... Continue Reading

A Field Guide on False Teaching

God is pleased to use people like us to share his gospel, and a guide like this one can make us more effective in that task.

Written by Tim Challies | Monday, November 9, 2020

This is not a book that we’re meant to hand to a skeptic or to a friend who holds to a different faith. Rather, it’s a book we are meant to read to better equip ourselves to have helpful conversations with them. Christians are to be “prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks... Continue Reading

The Year of Living Safely: A Review of ‘The Price of Panic’

It is natural to crave safety in the face of a pandemic, but Christians know that the only place of perfect safety is in the shelter of the Most High.

Written by Andy Wilson | Thursday, November 5, 2020

The authors of The Price of Panic contend that a key factor was the argument that said that those who dutifully follow the emergency measures are acting in their neighbors’ best interests. While most people want to be good neighbors (or at least want others to be good neighbors to them), this argument did not... Continue Reading

Why White Fragility Fails

The errors of this work are deeply antithetical to Christianity itself.

Written by Denny Burk | Wednesday, October 28, 2020

One can challenge racism but one can never really be rid of it, much less saved from it. There can be no repentance from this particular evil. As long as you are white, you will be a racist. There is nothing to be done about it.   Earlier this week, I finished Robin Diangelo’s New... Continue Reading

A Lesson on Prayer from a Depressed Charles Spurgeon

The act of prayer, by bringing us into communion with God in His throne room, does indeed destroy such things as doubt, ruin, and anxiety.

Written by Grayson Gilbert | Thursday, October 22, 2020

All our perils are nothing, so long as we have prayer.” The simple reason for this is that Spurgeon believed, “The essence of prayer lies in the heart drawing near to God: and it can do that without words.” In other words, prayer is the vehicle by which we commune with God Himself, not in...

“Conservative Liberalism” after Christendom

VanDrunen sees the Noahic covenant as the proper basis for establishing both political communities and civil government.

Written by Joshua Wester | Monday, October 19, 2020

VanDrunen recognizes the reality of pluralism not just as a matter of sociology, but of theology itself—beginning with the “common” nature of the Noahic covenant. No meaningful society enjoys uniformity in terms of religious identity and beliefs. And there is no need to pretend otherwise or to use the state to coerce specific beliefs. Instead,...

Review of “An Introduction to John Owen” by Crawford Gribben

The use of contemporary diaries and notebooks make the oft romanticized figure of Owen more concrete.

Written by Paul Henebury | Thursday, October 15, 2020

Owen’s career was carried on in tumultuous times and in the midst of much personal trouble, ill-health, grief, and even fear for his life. He achieved much in his lifetime, but Gribben explains that by the end he was surrounded by the scent of failure.   Crawford Gribben is a professor at Queen’s University in... Continue Reading

What Goldilocks Got Right

Not everything is meant to give lasting happiness. Rather, temporal things are meant to point toward eternal happiness.

Written by Barnabas Piper | Sunday, October 11, 2020

Goldilocks understood something that we often miss: happiness is found in the sweet spot between too much and too little. Happiness is found in expecting the right things of the right things. She tried the extremes but found contentment in the third option. So must we. It’s not easy to take a step back and... Continue Reading

Knowing God and Taking Action

Pray that the Lord will make more of His people willing to take action in the face opposition to Jesus Christ.

Written by Tom Ascol | Saturday, October 10, 2020

The action taken by those who know God is their reaction to the anti-God trends which they see operating around them. While their God is being defied and disregarded, they cannot rest. They feel they must do something; the dishonor due to God’s name goads them into action. This is exactly what we see happening in... Continue Reading

What About B.O.B.s?

Read Big Old Books and find your Christian life enriched.

Written by Josh Irby | Saturday, October 10, 2020

Not all Big Old Books are spiritually beneficial, but most classics have survived because they plunge the pen deeply into the reality of human life. As we spend hours observing the life of another—be it Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment, or Churchill in the The Last Lion, or Pierre in War and Peace—we cannot help... Continue Reading
