Institutionalized Statism
Five police officers were murdered last night in Dallas. One of the suspects has confessed he wanted to hurt white officers and was not part of any group. Whether the suspect is a racist or cold-blooded murderer, likely both, his wicked deeds are the result of a perceived oppression against black people. While I would […]
A Friendly Note to the Christian Facebook Police
January 15, 2016
Recently on Facebook I have noticed a few folks suggest one can judge other Christians’ priorities based on the content they post on Facebook. The assertions go somewhat like this: Should we be speaking about the Gospel or politics on Facebook? It is hard to tell what some people’s real focus is on – politics or […]
Philemon, Wilberforce, Abolition, and the Glory of God
September 14, 2015
Finishing up his series through Philemon yesterday, Pastor Jesse Johnson preached a message titled, “If God Is Sovereign, Why Work for Social Change?” This was an incredibly helpful sermon for me as for the last couple of years I have been working through the Christian’s role in the culture. Is there more to our responsibility […]
This is our Holocaust
July 31, 2015
I am having difficulty processing how anyone outraged by the Planned Parenthood videos, whether Christian or non-Christian, is still talking about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation. Folks, the babies you’ve seen butchered on the videos are 11-12 weeks. Supporting this bill of compromise would still allow for […]
Jesus, Friend of Starbucks Baristas and Patrons
March 18, 2015
Breitbart dropped an article yesterday revealing how Starbucks baristas will “hassle” customers about race relations. The right-wing conservative in me wanted to jump on board the train of derision toward Starbucks for yet another publicity stunt in the politico-culture wars. However, I’m learning to beat down that unwelcomed part of my flesh – you know, the […]
God Rules Over All Civil Magistrates
January 12, 2015
There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine! I really appreciate the above quote from Dutch Reformer Abraham Kuyper as it sums up Christ’s reign – over everything. It’s similar to what Dr. RC Sproul has said: […]
The Law of Nature is the Law of God
January 2, 2015
After a brief “life” interlude, we now return to the series of articles addressing the Law of God and related topics. For the Christian, God’s Law is our rule of life. By grace alone, we love God’s Law and delight in it as it burdens us not (Psalm 1:2, 119:97; Romans 7:22; 1 John 5:3). […]
Sam Waldron on Civil Authorities
October 8, 2014
I expect my next article on the topic of the Law of God to address Gentile governments and natural law, but as a prelude to that post, I thought it would be helpful to share some conclusions by Dr. Sam Waldron from his helpful lecture series, Theonomy: A Reformed Baptist Assessment. Dr. Waldron’s work is available […]
Thomas Schreiner on Theonomy
September 25, 2014
The last article on the subject of God’s Law served to be an introductory article to the series, providing a list of resources examining the manifestation of God’s Law under the Old and New Covenants. The primary purpose of this series is to study the definition and application of God’s Law for the Christian under […]
The Law of God, Theonomy, and Pacifism
September 9, 2014
Theonomy and pacifism are rearing their heads as the United States continues its efforts to build a coalition of nations to destroy the Islamic State. Two weeks ago I offered some recommendations for Christians in how we should be responding to the threat of IS and the impending war. While my position has found consensus with most […]
