"Whatever happened to the American family? As families keep getting smaller—and rarer—society is increasingly structured against big families. What are Christians to do?"

"Sean DeMars recently wrote an article for The Gospel Coalition about why he went from loving Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to being deeply concerned about its morality."

"We want the Wheaton that is captivated by the beauty of the gospel, where the faith—the true faith, once and for all delivered to the saints—is integrated with learning, not with novel interpretations of Scripture and subversion under the guise of diversity."

"Can we get serious about the differences between men and women? Who is it that occupies the top echelon of elite fighters in our military? Men or women? Who are the greatest combat sports fighters on the planet? Men or women? Who do you want protecting the president?"

“I am not what I ought to be – but I am not what I once was.”

"He finally found a way – he sold himself into slavery in order to preach the gospel to them."

"Don’t you see what happens? The milder you make your label, the more dangerous you make your poison."

November 11 is Veterans Day. We’ve set this national holiday aside to commemorate all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, not to be confused with Memorial Day, which honors all who have died during their service.

"Let a man have one of these blades, with a hand to wield it and skill to use it, and he may venture upon an angel with it. He need not fear its holding, if he can but tell how to lay on. Its edges will never blunt. It will cut flesh and bones, and soul and spirit, and all."

​​"I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite certain that, if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen Him."

This paper was originally presented at the 2018 Covenant Theological Seminary's annual theology conference. That paper was then revised and used in the Midwest Evangelical Theological Society's 2018 meeting where it received a runner-up in the student paper competition. 

"Between 1987 and 2015, approximately one million children were born through the use of IVF or other reproductive technologies averaging about 62,000 children per year. Seeking to fulfill the desire to have children is laudable impulse though the means have come into question."

"A church plant is building a house from the ground up - laying the foundation, adding the structures, piping, electrical and so on. Replanting is akin to gutting an older house to remodel it. The foundation remains intact as does much of the skeleton of the home but the plaster walls are taken out, the electoral is updated, and new windows and roof are installed. And lastly, revitalization is making only minimal changes to the house. A paint job, new appliances, and fixing older plumbing and electrical rather than replacing it, but the vast majority of the house remains as it was before."

"They all went to this bookshop and bought the various books. The tendency was, naturally, for all to buy the same books, and the result was that many of them were preaching the same sermon!"

This excerpt is from Spurgeon's small and final manifesto, "The Greatest Fight in the World." As it strikes me, it is an apt critique of what "Christian Deconstructionists" and the so called, "ex-vangelical" moment is guilty of.

Today, we celebrate Memorial Day. This national holiday is often accompanied by time off from work, barbecues in the backyard, and, of course, the local furniture store’s savings. But there is more to Memorial Day than a burger, a flag, and a day off.

A recovered episode from the old podcast featuring a conversation with Michael Kruger on the canon of Scripture.
