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...

Piggybacking off a previous post about the modern Christian music industry being nothing more than a launching pad into a secular music career, it is imperative to bring to your attention another of Evangelical's favorite worship artists—Lauren Daigle. You know her, a...
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...
