There Are No Atheists In Hell

Last updated on: October 23, 2020 at 2:19 pm By Grayson Gilbert

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). One of the fundamental propositions of the Bible is assumed from the start: God exists. Not only does He exist, He is the Author and Creator of all life, and therefore, all things in existence owe their existence to Him. In an astoundingly short sentence—a mere eight words in the Hebrew—the foundations of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures answer several of life’s biggest questions and introduce several other important questions....

You Can’t Be a Christian and Support the Democratic Party

Last updated on: October 16, 2020 at 12:50 pm By Grayson Gilbert

The Democratic Party has built its entire platform off of two major issues: abortion and sexual anarchy. I will state at the beginning of this that no Christian can support the Democratic Party. I have no qualms expressing such. I find it hard to believe that professing Christians could even find this topic worthy of debate. Per Scripture’s own stance on the evil of abortion and sexual licentiousness, these issues really are about as black and white as they can... Read more

We Must Contend With What it Means for Pastors to be Above Reproach

Last updated on: October 9, 2020 at 8:26 am By Grayson Gilbert

Over the years I have written quite a bit on the fall of prominent Christians caught up in various scandals. In the same breath, I have spent a rather decent amount of time calling to attention what would be construed as doctrinal failure from many others. I wrote here on the fall of Mark Driscoll, here on Tullian Tchividjian, here on Art Azurdia, and I have also dialed in on the doctrinal maladies of men like Andy Stanley (here, here,... Read more

Ravi Zacharias: Let His Life Serve as a Warning

Last updated on: October 2, 2020 at 3:23 pm By Grayson Gilbert

In the event you haven’t read anything on the subject yet, new allegations of egregious sexual misconduct have arisen against the late apologist, Ravi Zacharias. This time, the allegations come from previous employees of the apologist during private massage sessions, where Ravi exposed and gratified himself multiple times over the course of years. Despite all of its critics, there is certainly something to be commended about the Mike Pence Rule (or the Billy Graham Rule, whichever you prefer to call... Read more

Those Rabble-Rousing Moscow Idahoans at Christ Church are Up to No Good

Last updated on: September 24, 2020 at 8:38 pm By Grayson Gilbert

Douglas Wilson of Moscow, Idaho has seen no shortage of controversy in his tenure as pastor at Christ Church. Many within and without of the broader church have what can only be described as a vitriolic hatred for the man. As one friend quipped, “He could cure cancer and still be hated for it.” It takes a special sort of man to earn that reputation, but rest assured, that disdain has been passed down as a birthright to his children...

Why Birth Control Doesn’t Solve the Abortion Dilemma

Last updated on: October 9, 2021 at 3:00 pm By Jack Lee

All Christians are aware of the horrors of abortion, but I fear too few are aware of how popular birth control measures work. We are passively killing children and not even knowing it. Read more

Don’t Rejoice in the Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Don’t Make Her a Saint Either

Last updated on: September 22, 2020 at 4:05 pm By Grayson Gilbert

There has been a mixed bag of reactions pouring out since the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The prevalence of glowing commendations from professing Christians is a rather sad indication of just how twisted and contorted the American church truly is. Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived a life that can only be said to be in stubborn opposition to most everything the Scriptures declare is good. She unabashedly warred against traditional family structures through the normalization of homosexuality and bigamy; she... Read more

The Common Theme of 2020: God’s Judgment is Upon Us

Last updated on: September 16, 2020 at 9:11 am By Grayson Gilbert

I’ve had many varied, yet interrelated thoughts reeling in my mind over the past couple of days while our culture continues to swim down the drain at breakneck speed. As for what connects all the dots, so to speak, is that I believe that much of what we are seeing unfold before our eyes, not just in America, but around the world, is tied to the judgment of God. The reason I say this is fairly simple: the modern culture... Read more

Why Black Lives Matter and Christianity Are Totally Incompatible

Last updated on: October 9, 2021 at 3:01 pm By Jack Lee

Christians, Black Lives Matter is not the vehicle of redemption for the problem of racism in our society. We should never endorse something that makes no efforts to understand human dignity as something rooted in our creation (that is, our being made in the image of God), and seeks to undermine God’s creative order.

Cuties is Everything Wrong With Our World

Last updated on: September 11, 2020 at 12:49 pm By Grayson Gilbert

There has been no shortage of uproar over the release of the movie Cuties on Netflix, and for good reason. The film is being blasted for the gratuitous sexualizing of 11-year-old girls, which is beyond vile. I won’t embed the video, but I have linked to the lewd portion highlighted on Twitter here; viewer discretion is obviously advised. Many have come to the defense of the film by arguing it is a critique of the very thing people are outraged... Read more
