Is The Death Penalty Moral?
I have been asked a few times whether or not the Death Penalty is moral. Some of you will read this and immediately jump to “Of course it’s moral.” Others will take the opposite stance just as fast. And so, it is understandable that I would receive this question two times in the last month…

Cultural Rot Means the Work is Different
Things are not the same as they once were. In fact, they are vastly different. The immediate response might be to shake your head and think the young’uns are just foolish. While I would agree that there is a whole lot of foolishness being exhibited right now. I would also say that we don’t get…

J. Gresham Machen’s I Told You So From The Grave
The Presbyterian Church (USA) is gutting its mission agency and laying off missionaries.

The Nice Guy That Wants To Enslave You
A few weeks ago I heard audio from an interview at a pastor’s conference where the pastor said that all a person needed to do to be right with God was to fulfill God’s command to love others. Something clicked inside of me. That is the sweet sounding promise of someone who wants to enslave…

The Eternal Warning Label on Covid-19
Warning labels exist to tell us that danger is ahead. They tell us to think about what we are doing in that moment and that a wrong decision could cost us dearly. I heeded the warning not to take pain killers before driving after I’d had my knee surgery. I’m sure many of you have…
