Why do Some Christians Make Fellowship with the God-hating Democrat Party? “True prophets and teachers may take courage, and thus boldly set themselves against kings and nations, when armed with the power of celestial truth.” – John Calvin I recently read yet another example of Democrats lying and cheating in an attempt to maintain their…

The Fear of the Lord: A Homily on Joshua 5:13-6:27
As the story opens in today’s passage, the people of Israel were finally at the place they had feared 40 years ago when Moses had sent men to spy out the land of Canaan. Upon their return, Joshua and Caleb had told them: “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an…
Into the Promised Land – A Study of Joshua
Upon the death of Moses, Joshua was called to lead God’s people into the Promised Land, the land that God had promised to give to them through His covenant with Abraham. It was to be their land; no man would be able to stand before them all the days of their life. God would not…
Return from Exile: A Homily on Ruth

DeYoung sought to warn Christians of the harmful “long-term spiritual effects of admiring and imitating” the “visceral” mood emanating from Christ Church, pastored by Douglas Wilson, in Moscow, Idaho. According to DeYoung, these harmful effects…
PCA Members Should Speak Out on Overture 15

God’s Mercy
God’s mercy constantly amazes me. And one aspect of His mercy is common grace, which he bestows on all people, saved and unsaved alike. We all know that this means, for instance, that it rains for all of us. But common grace, along with the fact that everyone is made in God’s image, allows even…
Will Christians Embrace the Ideology of Climate Change?
I came of age politically in the age of William F. Buckley, Jr and Ronald Reagan, which means I escaped being indoctrinated into the progressive ideology behind John Maynard Keynes’ economics and Rachel Carson’s environmentalism. So I was baffled by a recent article in World Magazine discussing how many of today’s young “conservatives” embrace the ideas I avoided…
