Most of us don’t think of laziness as fatal. But John Piper lays out the deathly, eternal ramifications of unrepented laziness in this great discussion of Proverbs 26:13-16.

The Story of Evolution
Six-day creationists, i.e., those of us who believe that God created the world in six 24-hour days, are often ridiculed as being unscientific. Even inside the church many have bent and twisted scripture to accommodate the very modern view that the universe has been in existence for billions of years. However, it is actually the…
Bus Adverts Promoting Franklin Graham’s Festival of Hope to be Axed
The old saying says that “Hope springs eternal.” However, the truth is that hope is folly, anathema, a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense to those who do not believe: Banner adverts have appeared on Blackpool Transport’s Palladium fleet promoting the Festival of Hope at the Winter Gardens, which will feature American evangelist Franklin…
Big Science is Not Objective
Life is not easy, but it is a lot simpler than many would have us believe. Here are a few simple (but not simplistic) thoughts for us to chew on: God is our Creator and He created the world in six days. Jesus is our Savior if we repent of our sins and call on…

Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Many people understand the book of Revelation as portraying what is going to happen at the end of the world. This comes from what is known as the pre-millennial view, popularized in Tim LaHaye’s and Jerry B. Jenkins’ Left Behind series, which is a recent interpretation pushed by dispensationalists. Rather than see the Bible as a portraying the unfolding of God’s covenant…
Revoice, Concupiscence, and Worldliness in the PCA
The decision of Memorial Presbyterian Church (PCA) in St. Louis, Missouri to host the Revoice Conference has raised quite a ruckus in the Presbyterian Church of America and some other evangelical denominations. The purpose of the conference is: Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing…
