On Sunday, June 14, a man who claims to be a pastor who claims to be a Baptist decided to claim he was a woman who is a homosexual. So he … Read more
I don’t have an ideological problem with iconoclasm, the idea that certain religious imagery is offensive and ought to be opposed. In fact, I am a proud iconoclast – as any good Reformed Protestant ought to be – and vehemently reject images of any member of the Holy Trinity (yes, even of Christ). And although … Read more

As COVID-19 shelter in place measures wind down, it is pretty evident that Churches who chose to discontinue meeting together, either in person or through means such as a drive-in church, and instead chose to take everything online these past few months, had been met with disastrous results.

When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church on October 31, 1517, the unexpected result was the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.

Most notably, organizations for young adults like Cru (formerly Campus Crusades for Christ) and InterVarsity have traded the real Gospel for the Popularity Gospel.
