John Kasich Vetoes “Heartbeat” Abortion Bill

Last updated on: December 15, 2016 at 10:56 am By Grayson Gilbert

Just recently, Ohio legislature moved to pass an abortion ban after the period of six weeks. The bill sat at the hands of John Kasich, who effectively had ten days to sign the bill. Yet Kasich vetoed the heartbeat bill. The Germans have a word for it: schadenfreude. Quite simply, it involves deriving pleasure from another’s misfortune. Incidentally, I do believe, contrary to popular sentiment, that many truly derive a sense of pleasure over the misfortune of those within the womb. To be... Read more

Friendship With God

Last updated on: December 9, 2016 at 5:36 pm By Jonathan Dorst

There’s a story in the Bible about a guy who lost all of his friends midway through his life. In the book of Exodus, we read about Moses, who grew up in Egypt in a palace as the son of the king’s daughter. As part of the royal family of the most powerful nation on earth, he got the best education and training available. But when he grew up, he realized that he wasn’t an Egyptian by birth. He was a Hebrew, whose mother had given him up for adoption to avoid his being killed. Read more

BuzzFeed Owes Chip and Joanna Gaines An Apology

Last updated on: December 1, 2016 at 7:22 pm By Jack Lee

Beyond the absurdity of this witch-hunt themed article, there lies a more underlying problem I see in the liberal media. A fundamental misunderstanding of the word “tolerance”. You’re tolerant up until someone disagrees with you, then you’re at risk of being publicly branded homophobic. That’s not tolerance, that’s bigotry! Read more

In The Presence of Mine Enemies: Should We Pray For Them To Die? (Reflections on Fidel Castro)

Last updated on: November 29, 2016 at 5:50 pm By David Bordy

This begged an interesting theological question for me… Is it appropriate for a Christian to ask God for the death of their enemies? After all, Jesus not only forbade us from hating persons in our heart, but also told us to LOVE our enemies. Read more

Hacksaw Ridge: Pacifism or Just War Theory?

Last updated on: November 6, 2016 at 12:18 am By Jonathan Dorst

Say what you want about him, but Mel Gibson does not go halfway. The 60-year old director, who has one more Best Directing Oscar than Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Howard Hawks, Robert Altman, and Spike Lee, has shown in films like The Passion of the Christ (2004), Braveheart (1995), and Apocalypto (2006) that he has the courage of his convictions and vision. Such intentional conviction makes the end of Hacksaw Ridge (2016) a bit of a headscratcher when the vision goes from courageous defense to inspirational slaughter. Read more

Farewell, Brandon and Jen Hatmaker

Last updated on: April 26, 2018 at 9:46 am By Grayson Gilbert

I grieve for Brandon and Jen Hatmaker, not because I know them in any way personally, but simply because I believe them to be yet another couple with tremendous influence who are leading others down a dangerous path that makes light of what the scriptures teach on the nature of sin. In this case, it is the particular sin of homosexuality. The full shame is not found in the fact that yet another person of influence has bowed the knee... Read more

CHICAGO, IL – Local, nominal Protestant, Charles Hoffstentter is reported to have confused famed Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther, with the leader of the African-American Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. On Hoffstentter’s Facebook page, he took to posting pictures of MLK with quotes from the famous Reformer, with the accompanying title in all caps: SEMPER REFORMANDA! One such quote emblazoned above a picture of MLK’s infamous speech, I have a Dream, were the strong words of the reformer in his written treatise... Read more

How NOT to Read the Bible for All It is Worth

Last updated on: April 26, 2018 at 9:45 am By Guest Contributor

There is a great book by Gordon Fee titled, “How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth.” It’s a fairly readable introduction on the topic of Biblical Hermeneutics (Biblical Interpretation). In fact, it’s so popular that it has been required reading at most of the bible colleges, seminaries, and other institutes I have attended. It’s an extremely helpful tool and I recommend it for the library of anyone who enjoys studying Scripture. Recently I was reflecting on the book... Read more
