“If the Church of our Lord has any hope of recovering from her slothfulness and shallow, easy believism, then we must immediately discard the hemlock of dispensationalism and adopt a more Biblical view. “

“Depression is a growing problem both in society and in the church, but throughout history saints have struggled with it. This post looks at depression and how to respond to it biblically from the story of Elijah.”

What role does the church play in the Kingdom of God? Why is it essential to the life and blessings of the believer as well as to the downfall of the kingdom of man? Join us this week as we speak with pastor and author Dr. Uri Brito on how the church is the engine and fuel for a proper Christendom.

“We have seen that the distinction between men and women was created by God as very good and that the roles within marriage come from the mission that God has called each person to fulfill in advancing the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission. We then looked at the husband’s duty to shepherd his family as…”

“What is Christendom? Why should Christians want it? What are we to do to have it? What will the world look like once we've got it? Join pastors Kendall Lankford and Douglas Wilson as we discuss these things together.”

“God created mankind as distinctively male and female, so those distinctions are very good. He created men and women to fulfill different yet complementary roles so that together they could advance the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission. Within that context, this post looks at the roles of the husband as clearly revealed in Scripture.”

“The most masculine, powerful, and godly thing you can do is bellow out your praises to God. If you fancy yourself a warrior, sing boldly to God in your bassy, baritone, and tenor voices. If you are like Gideon and are more of a coward, muster the strength you have and roar out God's praises. Fill the room of gathered saints with the thunderings of your lower register. Demonstrate for the women and children how happy you are to be in the house of God, that Yahweh reigns over the earth, and that our songs hail His mighty victory.”

“The equal value yet distinct roles of male and female were created by God in the beginning as very good. When couples fulfill these roles well, they display to the world the beauty of marriage as it was meant to be. Before we look at specific roles, we need understand their greater purpose. This post…”

“God created men and women in His image, alike in dignity yet distinct in roles. Many churches follow our society’s warped understanding of gender that sees the innate distinction between men and women as an ugly remnant of the oppressive patriarchy. Instead, this post will show how they are part of God’s pre-Fall creation and…”

“while the world around us would seek to whittle womanhood down from a mighty redwood to a flimsy toothpick by clinging to the Lord's Word in Scripture, I believe we can have a revival of femininity and a resurgence of Christian women.“

“In the previous post, I argued that the concept of the tithe continues in that Christians are still obligated to give adequate financial support to the local church. But out of gratitude for all that God has given us–especially Jesus Christ–we should be generous above and beyond our obligation to the local church, not only…”

“What does the Bible communicate about womanhood? How will that impact her in marriage? And, how passionate is God about these things? Would He even call it “blasphemy” when Biblical womanhood is ignored or spurned? Join us as we explore this concept in Titus 2:3-5.”

“The American Church like the Jews of Malachi’s day lacks a healthy fear of God that causes us to neglect to give our best to God. This post traces the tithe from the Old Testament into the New, where we find that the tithe was not abolished by Christ but merely changed recipients from the…”

“The American Church like the Jews of Malachi’s time has neglected a healthy fear of God, which leads us to cheapen or completely disregard proper worship, the supremacy of Scripture, the importance of holiness, a dignified view of marriage, and a consciousness of the final judgment. The American Church must restore a right view of…”

“if you want a Christian culture, forget American politics. That is as fruitful as drowning yourself under a waterfall. Instead, if you wish for Massachusetts, California, Washington, Nevada, Montana, and all the rest of these fifty states, to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ, then put down your politics, lay down your mail-in ballots, and grab a shovel. We have work to do!”

“In Philippians 4, Paul says he has found the secret to being content in any circumstance, so this post looks at what true Christian contentment looks like and how we can achieve it through the strength that Jesus Christ provides, which is the true meaning of the often-misquoted Philippians 4:13.”

“Perhaps if we would preach like Jonah, weep like Jeremiah, if we would repent like Nebuchadnezzar, or stand firm against God's enemies like Samson; If we would worship as ardently as David, or employ wisdom like his son Solomon; If we would be as industrious in our society as Daniel and Joseph; if we would chase after the whoring gentiles like Hosea; and if we, who are filled with the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, would live like the apostles - going from town to town declaring freedom in the risen Christ - then I believe we will see this nation turning back to God. “

“Dear sisters, daughters, mothers, and wives, embrace the beautiful, glorious, and domestic calling God has given you. Rejoice amid the mess and the stress of a burgeoning home. Find joy and laughter when the markers decorate your walls, the spaghetti gets flung on your ceiling, or when the task of doing it all seems too big for you. It is too big for you, in your own strength. That much is true. But let that truth remind you of a better truth. You are needy in your role because the Lord designed you to ever be in need of Him!”

“When a nation plants its flag firmly into the ground, it openly and audaciously proclaims its dominion over that soil. It screams, "We are the ones in charge!" It heralds that our power and our might reign supreme on this soil. And if you do not like that, grab your guns and try to take our flag away from us if you can.

This is precisely why the rainbow-colored flag of deviance and pride must come (and in Christ will come) to a bitter end.”

“In our sinful nature and limited perspective, we can approach God’s blessings wrongly just as we can approach trials wrongly. We can fall prey to the temptation to act as if we deserve God’s blessings, but the prolonged pain of deferred blessings can also cause us to resist those blessings when they do come. Instead,…”
