In these continual acts of staggering betrayal that blaze across the moral landscape of so-called "conservatism," the compromise on pro-life laws which still permit abortions can only be branded as Hell's compromise. Those who posture themselves as conservatives, yet...

In the cosmic court of divine justice, humanity stands condemned, a prisoner to its iniquitous nature. It is here that two theological doctrines, 'imputed righteousness' and 'infused righteousness,' attempt to answer the same question: how can a sinful man be...
It's truly a marvel of modern thought, or lack thereof, this tendency to draw parallels between the most incongruous of characters, such as a career criminal who met his end in the midst of criminal activity, and Stephen, the first Christian martyr. It's as if the...
I'm not sure I can think of a better way to spend Mother's Day than by going to a church to be turned on to a blaspheming rapper who regularly drops the F-Bombs, takes the Lord's name in vain, and objectifies women in his music. I mean, isn't this the kind of role...
In the Book of Proverbs, it is written, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). Yet, as we cast our gaze upon the world today, we find a sharp deviation from this wisdom, an alarming departure from...

The Bible asserts, with unyielding conviction, that when God passes judgment upon a nation, He subjects them to a whirlwind of unbridled sexual immorality. Delving into Romans 1, we discover that this phenomenon transcends mere sexual anarchy; it surpasses the bounds...
