Yes, the Christian can have great joy amidst suffering. The Christian faith is a paradoxical faith. We all know many of these paradoxes: we get new life out of death; we only obtain glory via the cross; we fully become ourselves when we deny ourselves; [...]

None of us are anywhere close to perfection, yet God still chooses to use us. Here is a wonder of wonders: God in his matchless mercy and grace takes hardened sinners, saves them, and uses them for his purposes. But what is really incredible is the [...]

What to make of the Carlson/Fox divorce. CNN let go of long-standing leftist host Don Lemon today. That was news. But a massively bigger bit of news involves how Fox News let go of Tucker Carlson today. The most popular host on Fox and a consistent ratings [...]

God is doing far more than what we are aware of. Why do you do what you do? If you are a Christian you should be doing ‘all things for the glory of God’ as Paul put it in 1 Corinthians 10:31. That should be [...]

Like so many others, I was part of two major counter-cultures in my youth. From around the age of 15 to 18 I was heavily involved in the 60s counter-culture with its rebellion, rock music, drugs, new left politics, and all the rest. But when [...]

When megachurches are publicly critiqued, sometimes it is well-deserved. It is a general truth that if believers are fed a diet of faulty, questionable or incorrect teaching, this may very well show up in how they live. Just as orthodoxy (good teaching) is needed for orthopraxis (good [...]

Is the West copying Communist China’s surveillance state? The overwhelming majority of the 264 articles I have written on Covid and the big state overreactions of the past few years had to do with how very easily and quickly our governments were able to take over almost every aspect [...]

We must take a stand against this pernicious social ideology. The trans activism we have been witnessing for the past decade or so is not just a bit of social adjustment, but is a wholesale revolution. It is an all-out war on absolutely everything, including women, children, biology, sanity, and reality [...]

Anyone who has read the account of Lewis’ conversion in Surprised By Joy will know that the penultimate chapter is titled “Checkmate”. There he discusses some of the final steps that led him to abandon his atheism and move through from theism to Christianity. If, by some [...]

Where does one begin in writing up such a remarkable Christian? His impact has been monumental, and he has left an indelible legacy for generations to come. As Thomas Howard wrote, “We all have the same difficulty here: how to tap into some shape the [...]

As the West drowns in useless and hopeless woke leadership, our future is looking really bleak. There are various ways cultures can crumble and nations can decline. When the people become overwhelmed by their own sin and selfishness, things will not long last. That of course [...]

Here are five moving stories of those who renounced their disdain of Christianity. The Roman leaders, the Jewish leaders, and Satan himself all thought that this troublemaker Jesus was finally out of their hair. Falsely accused of trumped up charges, he was punished and then [...]

We all need hope, and that is what the Easter message gives us. In around AD 55 the Apostle Paul wrote the following: “Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of [...]

This is a crucial and indispensable biblical teaching. One of the core doctrines of biblical faith is that of our creation in the image and likeness of God. This is such a vital core belief and one that distinguishes our faith from most other religions. It has ramifications for [...]

Bill Gates and co. have a very cosy relationship with Chinese Communists. Back during the heady days of the Cold War many analysts were rightly concerned that dupes and stooges in the West were actually helping the Soviets in their totalitarian aims and objectives. A quote [...]

Here are 22 must-read books on the very real threat that is China. Many people seeing a recommended reading list on China might think that this has mainly to do with politics, international relations, history, geopolitics and the like. Well, it does involve all that, [...]

I recently wrote a piece on how we can view sin via the new book by Christopher Watkin. And I more recently looked at a chapter from a newish book on biblical doctrine by Paul David Tripp. The former book is Biblical Critical Theory, and Tripp’s [...]
