It Is Not Politically Correct To Have Best Friends

From the desk of Jonah Goldberg: I read a profoundly depressing story in the New York Times about how ‘some educators and other professionals who work with children’ don’t think kids should have best friends. ‘I think it is kids’ preference to pair up and have that one best friend.

Why The Aims Of The Church Can Become Perverted

One of the devil’s most insidious and successful methods to deceive is to lure the Church toward worldliness while misleading her through a false spirituality.

Selfishness And Self-Denial

Self-denial is not a frequent topic of discussion in Christian circles these days. It is also not a very welcome topic in our culture at large.

Do We Need One Great Leader?

Written by Bojidar Marinov: The personality cult, the One Great Leader Who Leads the Masses has never been a Conservative value. It certainly has never been a Christian value.

Weigh Carefully The Words Of Your Teacher

“The Road To Hell. . . .”

From the pen of Gary DeMar: Isabel Paterson writes in her book The God of the Machine, “Most of the harm in the world is done by good people, and not by accident, lapse, or omission. It is the result of their deliberate actions, long persevered in, which they hold to be motivated by high [...]

The Grace Of Election

Quoting Charles H. Spurgeon: There is no difference, by nature, between the elect and others: those who are now glorified in heaven, and who walk the golden streets, dressed in robes of purity, were by nature as unholy and defiled, and as far from original righteousness, as those who, by their own rejection of Christ, [...]

Living With Integrity

From the desk of Pastor William Harrell: Recently I heard a report about a young man’s situation which moved me deeply.

Adopting A Christian Worldview
