Last post, I explained why pornography is a multi-faceted monster. It is a problem because it is a sin, it rewires our brains, lies, betrays, enslaves, and ultimately destroys us. What, then, can we do as Christians to fight it? Here’s some general advice. (Next week,...

Pornography is a problem. It is a big problem. That’s true for our world, our nation, our families, and even our churches. The sexual revolution has lied to us in countless ways. But one of its biggest deceptions has been telling us that unfettered sexual expression...

Last week, I wrote about a few of the 95 statements that I disagreed with. Luther’s concerns were growing and his theology evolving – but, as I pointed out last week, at that point in his life he was still a good Catholic, loyal to the Pope and many of the teachings...

Throughout the month of October, I have been highlighting the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing of the 95 Theses to the door at Wittenberg. It was a brave decision that sparked the Protestant Reformation and forever changed church history. In many ways,...

My family and I recently returned from our vacation – or, more precisely, our “staycation.” With six kids, it’s difficult enough going to the grocery store – let alone somewhere like the beach or Disney. But that’s perfectly fine by us. We would have it no other way....

This morning, we are beginning a new sermon series entitled: “God’s Heart for Our Neighbors.” As a church, we’ve just spent four weeks focusing on national outreach to America and Canada (through the SBC’s Annie Armstrong.) Now, in the coming four weeks, we’re going...

We Southern Baptists are at it again. Disagreements. Family squabbles. And good old fashioned politics. Imagine that. (And in other news, the sun came up!) So, what’s the issue this time? The authority of Scripture? The divinity of Christ? The Trinity? No – it’s the...

Heavenly Father, You have commanded us in 1 Timothy 2, to pray “for kings and all who are in authority,” and so we do just that. We pray for our nation’s election and for our soon-to-be President-elect. Baptize each one with your grace. We confess, O God, Your...
