Reformation Day 2015 - The Just Shall Live by Faith

Reformation Day 2015 – The Just Shall Live by Faith

For by it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. – Romans 1:17

We’re coming up on October 31, not only a day for kids to dress up and go door-to-door in search of free candy but also the day in 1517 that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, setting off the protestant reformation.

Why is Europe the Destination of Choice for Syrian Refugees?

I saw this on Twitter recently:

Voices of Youth is “UNICEF’s global online community for young people who want to know more, do more and say more about the world.” Far be it from me to question the motives of the United Nations but I do have a few questions:

Why are people “running towards Europe” when it is several hundred miles farther away than Jordan or Saudi Arabia or even Egypt? Why is…

What Law has Kim Davis Broken?

The answer is none. Kim Davis has broken no law. The law in Kentucky says marriage is between a man and a woman. That law has not been changed by the Kentucky legislature (legislature being a body of elected officials tasked with making law, not to be confused with the judiciary). Also, it is not against the law to refuse to issue a marriage license no matter what reason you give for doing so. It…

A Tale of Two Schools

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…wait, how can it be both? You can’t have it both ways can you? Well, there are some people who think you can.

This week in Villa Rica, Georgia, a church conducted a baptismbefore football practice at the local high school. The baptism was done on school property but there is no indication any of the players baptized or any in attendance to watch…

Men on A Train

By now you’ve heard of the courageous actions of three American men who prevented a massacre on a French train. As the story has unfolded, we also learned about two French men who risked their lives in the initial stages of the attack and were wounded trying to stop the gunman. The most complete coverage I’ve seen of the series of events can be read here.

The three Americans have become a cause…

But We Do More than Kill Babies!

But We Do More than Kill Babies! #defundPP

Cecile Richards, Gauleiter of Planned Parenthood, has taken, of late, to listing all the things they do besides murdering children. On Wednesday her organization tweeted:

Ok, let’s give credit where it’s due. They do indeed provide sex education. We know that ’cause we got that on video too. Here’s a Planned Parenthood official explaining the finer points of S&M and bondage to a 15 year old girl…

If Cecil Was An Unborn Baby

Perhaps you’ve heard of the American dentist who killed a lion in Africa named Cecil. It’s been one of the biggest stories on internet and in social media over the last several days. Providentially, it has been trending at the same time as the uproar over the latest Planned Parenthood video, shedding light on the mentality and priorities of our culture.

While conservatives are calling on congress…

Warning: Political Correctness May be Hazardous to Your Health

Recently in suburban Atlanta, a real estate agent was attacked by someone while showing them a property. While this occasionally happens, there’s a twist to this story:

“What she did notice about the suspect was he was a male wearing women’s clothing and a woman’s wig,” said Cpl. Michelle Pihera with the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Ten years ago, a real estate agent arriving for a showing…

What Are Rights?

What Are Rights? |

We live in a rights obsessed culture. At every turn someone is claiming they have a right to something. Unfortunately people rarely think about what it means to have a right. Most of the time “I have a right to” is interchangeable with “I want.”

Rights come in two flavors – positive and negative. Much of what is demanded today are positive rights. Positive rights are the right TO HAVE something,…

What is the Mark of the Beast?

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. –…

Gone With the Wind premiere, Atlanta, 1939

History is a mixed bag. Rarely is a cause, a person or a nation all good or all bad. The same Roman Empire that fed Christians to the lions made possible the world-wide expansion of the gospel through the Pax Romanaand the best network of roads the world had ever seen.

Why Read the Bible All the Way Through? - God's Word is One Seamless Story

“Old Woman Reading the Bible” by Gerrit Dou

God’s Word is One Seamless Story

The Bible is an amazing book. However, it’s not really a book but sixty-six books written by 40 different authors across hundreds of years. Yet despite the different authors and extended time spans, it tells one story from beginning to end.

Of course, as Christians, we realize this is so because ultimately the Bible has…

Why Has Tony Campolo Rejected the Bible's Teaching on Sex & Marriage?s

Why Has Tony Campolo Rejected the Bible's Teaching on Sex & Marriage?

Because he’s not a Christian.

So stop with the “evangelical leader” stuff when describing him.

Sorry if that took all the air out of the room but it needs to be said. You can parse his arguments (such as they are) all you want but the bottom line is he’s come to this conclusion because Jesus is not his Lord – the culture and public opinion are.

J. Gresham Machen puts it well:

When God Strikes Someone Dead

Death of Ananias by Raphael

In the fifth chapter of the Book of Acts we read one of the more interesting and chilling passages in the New Testament. A man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira sell a piece of property, keep part of the money and give the rest to the church. Trouble is, they tell the church they are giving the full price received for the land (Acts 5:8).

As a result of this…

Bruce Jenner and the Emasculation of Culture

I came across an insightful quote this week by Dr. Theodore Dalrymple. It’s from an interview he did with FrontPage Magazine in 2005. I commend the entire thing to you as it is full of insight and wisdom.

However, the quote I want to focus on is this:

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of…
