by Ed Dingess Sin Odd as it may sound, it is a word that many churches, if not most churches have dropped from their vocabulary. We just don’t like talking about it these days. The trouble is, we cannot very well talk about Jesus Christ and the good news of the gospel...
The trend of people splattering their self-defined pronouns all over social media is more than merely bothersome—it's obnoxious. This phenomenon blatantly disregards objective reality, pushing personal whim over divinely-ordained distinctions. It's not just a societal...

Just as Alice plunged into the rabbit hole and found herself navigating the dizzying absurdity of Wonderland, we too seem to be hurtling down a similar abyss, a world unmoored from objective reality. This is no child's story, but the sobering reality of our modern...

Perhaps you're all aware by now that the nation is celebrating as one of the top headlines in the news this week is the fact that Pete Buttigieg and his homosexual lover are being granted the right to adopt children. The nation claps and cheers as the two announced...
False prophets are sneaky--apparently, they all have a dose of the "sneaky squid spirit." They desperately want to be normalized within mainstream Evangelicalism so they subtly insert their error wherever they possibly can. But to the trained eye of discernment,...
I'd like to preface this article with the fact that I clearly believe that there are a lot of sincere people in the pro-life movement who are truly trying to make a difference in abortion. I also believe that many of these pro-lifers--most of whom are professing...
