Proceed with Discernment
Where are the leaders of the evangelical church taking the church with regard to the issue of homosexuality? Their rhetoric raises yellow and even red flags! Believers need to make sure they know and understand what God’s Word teaches!
Elusive Neutrality: The Myth of Avoiding Being Perceived as Political
In what is, in part, an apparent effort to be perceived as politically neutral, Pastor J. D. Greear and other evangelical leaders are distancing themselves and their ministries, including the SBC, from what they see as a connection to the Republican Party. The Democrat Party, however, stands for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, and Democrats are repeatedly refusing to make infanticide illegal. Do these leaders really want to send the message that it’s OK for Christians to support the Democrats? They haven’t denied it. Still, “No political party or candidate that supports infanticide (or in my view, abortion, for that matter) is deserving of any Christian’s support or vote—no matter how much “good” might be perceived, advocated, or even accomplished in other areas of public policy.”

Social Justice Ideologies on Trial: Understanding and Responding to Resolution 9 at the Southern Baptist Convention
June 16, 2019—article 225
Resolution 9 at the 2018 meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Birmingham, Alabama authorizes the use of critical race theory and intersectionality (two social justice ideologies) as long as they are used under the authority of Scripture. Here’s the rub. Critical race theory and intersectionality contradict Scripture. Why was Resolution 9 even offered to the convention for a vote? Good question!

King David a Rapist? Not so Fast!
It has become fashionable in some evangelical circles to say that Israel’s King David didn’t just commit adultery with Bathsheba—Uriah’s wife—but that he raped her. Does biblical evidence for this exist? This post explores where the evidence points. It also explores the cost of interpreting the Bible in light of culture rather than interpreting culture according to biblical truth.

- Return to the Founders’ Perspective on Rights, Part 1
A critical step in restoring and preserving ordered liberty and avoiding chaos in America will be understanding and returning to America’s Founders’ perspective on rights. Oh, how far we have departed from the ideal they upheld! - Return to the Founders’ Perspective on Rights, Part 2
Only God-given, unalienable rights are compatible with liberty and authentic freedom. - Return to the Founders’ Perspective on Rights, Part 3
No decision in the history of the Supreme Court of the United States violates the principles of freedom and liberty upheld by America’s Founders as does the ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Same-sex “marriage” isn’t just about the private affairs of those who petitioned the Court to establish it. It is about everything else, as well. Obergefell v. Hodges is moving this country from liberty to tyranny as is nothing else. To counter, we must rediscover natural marriage as God-given and unalienable, and we must uphold it as such. Will you join me in a movement to do these very things? The hour is late, but truth is on our side.
