The Kingdom of God
by Peter Leithart Scripture seems to be almost deliberately vague about the kingdom. It is like a seed, like leaven, like a sower going to sow His field, like a merciful master who forgives our debts. The kingdom is also a place where we enter to eat and drink with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus…
The Creation Week vs. the Framework Hypothesis of Genesis 1-2
by Gary North Here, I deal with the framework hypothesis of Genesis 1 that was offered by Meredith Kline in the late 1950’s. I show why it is not biblical. The framework hypothesis denies that the six days of Genesis 1 were sequential. Instead, it says that the days were literary. Day 1 paralleled day…
Pro-Abortion Evangelicals
Have you ever noticed how much more complicated it is to cover up the truth rather than confess it? For instance, God tells us: “And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished” (Genesis 1:31-2:1). Yet rather than simply confess, as the Westminster Divines did,…
A Brief History of the PCW
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet…
Dull Hearts, Loving Thy Neighbor, and the PCA
Christians Under Assault Unlike the rest of his teammates, San Francisco Giant pitcher Sam Coonrod did not kneel during Major League Baseball’s season opening tribute to Black Lives Matter, or perhaps to black lives matter. Coonrod has been vilified by many, including NBC Sports writer Monte Poole. While Poole says Coonrod “did nothing wrong,” he…
Eating Words
“You can’t eat no words.” Jake voiced his displeasure at Louisa’s recent attempt at panhandling. “If you don’t do better than that, we’ll go hungry tonight,” he added. Louisa could feel the emptiness in her stomach––the Thanksgiving meal the city had provided the day before no longer filled her. She was used to the gnawing…
The Evangelical Church’s Confused Witness on Race: Part 3
In Part 2 of this series, we presented the case that the obsession of many of the leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) with white racism is rooted in white guilt. Their consciences are overwhelmed because they blame themselves, other white people, and centuries of slavery and…
The Evangelical Church’s Confused Witness on Race: Part 2
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the claims about race and racism from some of the protesters in Minneapolis, noting how some recent pronouncements on racism from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and the Presbyterian Church in America sound quite similar. The predominant reason behind the Presbyterian Church in America’s (PCA) and…
The Evangelical Church’s Confused Witness on Race: Part 1
Only hours after one of her churches had been set afire by rioters in Washington, D.C., the Right Reverand Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, chose to aim her harsh words at President Donald Trump. “We align ourselves with those seeking justice for the death of George Floyd and countless others. And I just…
