All abortion providers know that what they do is an act of destruction. Try as they might they cannot escape the truth that abortion is homicide. What is more, abortion is homicide against the weakest and most vulnerable members of the human family. It is the most heartless of heartless actions. It...

Once again the seemingly ever present Brian McLaren is poised to present something as new which is actually just a retread of ideas that tend to cling to the outer banks of Christianity like so much flotsam . To be a Christian – in the West, at least, since the fifth or sixth century or so – has...

From an interview with Greg Beale in Martin Downes' very helpful book Risking the Truth : Part 1: The Exegetical Foundations of Inerrancy Why do you believe the Bible, as originally given, is not only inspired but also inerrant? What are some of the principle exegetical foundations of inerrancy? As...

From Marvin Olasky of World Magazine : A Gallup poll in 1972 showed 66 percent of Americans opposing abortion legalization. That year Detroit newspapers heavily supported a Michigan referendum to establish abortion on demand through the first five months of pregnancy, but 61 percent of Michigan...

This week's message was part 26 in our series through Hebrews - "A Sacrifice Like No Other" (Hebrews 10:1-18). You can listen to or download the sermon HERE .

From Reformed Forum : Christ the Center had the pleasure of interviewing Ted Kluck, author and athlete, about his recent publication, Why We Love the Church: In Praise of Institutions and Organized Religion , co-authored with Kevin DeYoung and published by Moody Press. We discussed the recent wave...

J. Gresham Machen the founder of Westminster Seminary did not believe the state should run the church nor did he believe that the church should run the state. Machen, one of the greatest biblical scholars of the 20th century gave us some of the most scintillating thoughts on the role of the church...

The left wing actor Danny Glover has concluded that the earthquake in Haiti is the result of the failed climate summit in Copenhagen. “When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?” Brilliant! Clearly, Mr. Glover...

As many of you already know Pat Robertson opened his mouth and more silliness fell out. Thankfully, Al Mohler has written a thoughtful and sober article on how to think biblically and mercifully about the earthquake in Haiti. God's rule over creation involves both direct and indirect acts, but his...

As I have written many times before, abortion is not just one issue among many other equally important issues. It is a foundational ethical issue. To be "pro-choice" concerning abortion is to betray a fundamental flaw in one's moral reasoning. It is also to strip all meaning from the notion of...

Carl Trueman's article in the latest Nine Marks Journal is well worth the read. We live in strange times. Hardly a year goes by without some conference on the future of the evangelical church somewhere having at least one speaker, or sometimes even a slate of speakers, who arguably represent...

Good stuff from Kevin DeYoung that echo my sentiments: I’d like to make a modest proposal for Christians of all theological and political persuasions: don’t use the term “social justice” without explanation. The term is unassailable to some and arouses suspicion in others. For many Christians,...

Oliver Stone is at it again. He has already manufactured an historical fantasy regarding the assassination of JFK. He has cast two serial murderers as sympathetic figures. He has villainized George W. Bush. This time he is going to make a film that will correct other historical misconceptions we...

Well, it's pretty late in coming but the former president offered an apology of sorts to the Jewish community for statements he has made. Of course, what Mr. Carter does not seem to recognize is the genuine harm many of his comments and symbolic actions have actually caused. Brad Hirschfield writes...

"Evangelical Christianity...is now tragically below the New Testament standard. Worldliness is now an accepted part of our way of life. Our religious mood is social rather than spiritual. We have lost the art of worship. We are not producing saints. Our models are successful businessmen, celebrated...

Check out this very clear discussion about Brit Hume's invitation to Tiger Woods to turn to Christianity from R. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary California. Any thoughts?

Christianity Today has posted an interview with Brit Hume: CT: In this discussion about Tiger Woods, it seems as though some are offended that you would say something about Christianity specifically. Hume: Instead of urging that Tiger Woods turn to Christianity, if I had said what heneeded to do...

"We must be knit together in this work as one man, we must entertain each other in brotherly affection..., we must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality, we must delight in each other, make others' conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn...

Good article from Peter Wehner at NRO concerning the vehement attacks launched against Brit Hume: The intensity of offense taken at what Hume said is itself revealing. Perhaps it can partly be chalked up to shock; maybe Shales and Hume’s other critics are genuinely surprised to learn that those who...

Harold Camping would be easy to ignore. In fact it would be a virtue to ignore him. The problem is that Camping heads Family Radio which is broadcast around the world. The hyper-dispensationalism of Camping and others has been causing division and confusion in the church for years. Camping has been...

If you are in the Philadelphia area then plan on attending a conference featuring Paul Tripp at Church of the Saviour . Have you ever wondered why some Christians grow and some don't? Have you ever been discouraged or confused in your own relationship with God? Have you ever wondered if other...

The Bible is not simply an historical account or a literary masterpiece; it is the witness to Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and it presents the Deus loquens , the God who uses the Bible to speak to us today. God Himself works through the means of His grace today just as He worked through the...
