Wise advice for social media users. If anyone wanted to write a book on internet etiquette, and how to proceed sensibly and wisely on social media, they should look no further than to the Bible in general, and the book of Proverbs in particular. There [...]

A vitally important defence of men and masculinity. Nancy Pearcey has said that this has been her most controversial book to date. That is telling. To simply affirm the importance of men and masculinity is controversial? Sadly, in the West today, it most certainly is. [...]

C. S. Lewis, cancer and grief. In many areas of life, the ideal is to combine the theoretical with the practical. This is true when it comes to thinking about, writing about, and speaking about the issues of pain, suffering and evil -- especially from [...]

God sustains us in the most difficult of times. Some 55 hours ago, my wonderful wife was promoted to heavenly glory after much suffering and pain. Her 18-month battle with cancer finally came to an end. I and others are supremely glad that she is [...]

Yes, we should be engaging with our culture. All Christians know about the Great Commission and most know who Charles Colson was. As to the former, it of course involves the command given by Jesus for His followers to go into all the world to [...]

One day, believers will be assessed on what they did. Something Christians do not speak much about is the idea of receiving rewards one day for their faithful service. It might be a mark of humility perhaps not to think about that too much. After [...]

Forgetting and forsaking God has serious repercussions. Western history is in large part the story of God and His people at work. Yet most Westerners today deliberately seek to shove God, Jesus, Scripture and Christianity out of their minds and lives. The West is doing [...]
