The Art of Transferring Faith: Five Timeless Principles for Shaping Hearts
Christian education is not merely about choosing the right curriculum, mastering the right methods, or achieving the right academic outcomes. According to Proverbs, true education begins with the fear of the Lord and aims at the shaping of the whole heart before God. In this article, we explore five timeless principles for transferring faith to the next generation: wisdom is caught before it is taught, transmitted through imitation, forged through friction, directed with deliberate care, and guarded from rival voices. But above all, we remember that education cannot save us. Only Christ, the wisdom of God made flesh, can resurrect dead hearts, straighten crooked arrows, and teach us by His Spirit to walk in the way everlasting.
You Were Not Born Gay
The world says, 'You were born this way.' Christ says, 'You must be born again.
Your Best Life Is Sending You To Hell
The greatest danger of sin is not that it fails. The greatest danger of sin is that it works.
When Your Truth Is Not His Truth
The modern world is not merely rebelling against God's moral standards. It is rebelling against the very idea that there is an objective reality outside of itself.
You Are Not Your Genitals
Modernity did not merely normalize certain sexual behaviors. It transformed sexual desires into personal identities.
The Rainbow Colored Revolt On Reality
The distinctions God established are not prison bars. They are load-bearing walls. They hold up the roof over our heads. Tear them down and the house does not become freer. It collapses.
Other Lovers
Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to commit adultery.
PRIDE And The New Counterfeit Religion
Pride is not a political movement pretending to be a religion. Pride is a religion pretending to be a political movement.
PRIDE And The New Sodom
Every civilization has sinners. Only certain civilizations throw festivals for sin and call it virtue.
PRIDE And The New Babel
At its core, Pride is not a sexual revolution. It is a theological revolution.
PRIDE And The American Death Cult
A culture that celebrates sterility while fearing children is not moving toward progress. It is rehearsing its own extinction.
PRIDE MONTH COMES BEFORE THE FALL
Pride Month is not the disease. It is the final death rattle of a civilization that has learned to celebrate its own destruction.
The Closed Canon and the Insanity of Modernity
Modernity promised liberation by opening everything, but a civilization that opens truth eventually loses the ability to recognize reality itself. This article is a theological war hammer against the madness of our age, exposing why societies that reject God’s closed canon do not become enlightened, they slowly unravel into absurdity, confusion, and civilizational dementia.
The Forgotten Glory of the Lord’s Day

From Puritan to Pornographic
New England once built schools so children could read the Scriptures and resist “that old deluder, Satan.” Today, those same institutions catechize children in a radically different gospel. In this essay, I trace how public education in America moved from Puritan covenantal formation to modern secular liturgy, and why Christians must recover a distinctly Christian vision of education before another generation is lost.

The Foundation of Christian Education
Modern education has confused information with wisdom, producing a civilization overflowing with knowledge yet collapsing in moral and spiritual darkness. Proverbs teaches that the fear of the Lord is not a supplement to true education, but its very foundation, because every discipline in creation finds its meaning beneath the Lordship of Christ. Apart from Him, all human learning eventually corrodes into pride, futility, and rebellion, but in Christ, wisdom is restored and knowledge finally finds its proper purpose.
The gods of our Minds

The “Christian” Pantheon Of Acceptable “gods”
Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to have any other gods before Him
The Angels Put Down Their Swords
Adam was driven from Eden by a flaming sword that no sinner could survive, and for generations that sword stood as the unyielding line between a holy God and a fallen world. But at the cross, Christ stepped into its full fury, bearing every stroke of divine justice until nothing remained. When the tomb opened, the angels were no longer guarding, but sitting, because the war was over and the way back to God had finally been cleared.
