No Truth Without Love, No Love Without Truth: The Church's Great Challenge

We sin if we call homosexuality something other than sin. We also sin if we act as if this sin cannot be forgiven. We cannot settle for truth without love nor love without truth. The Gospel settles the issue once and for all. This great moral crisis is a Gospel crisis.

'By What Power or By What Name Did You Do This?' The Question Every Minister of Christ Must Long to Be Asked

This is the question every true minister of Christ should long to be asked. Note carefully that it only makes sense to ask this question after something happens that demands it.

Kermit Gosnell's America: What His Trial Really Reveals

Sneering at Parents, Hiding Behind 'Science': The Emergency Contraception Controversy

Looking for evidence that our society is losing its mind? Just look at the controversy over so-called "emergency contraceptives" and a federal judge's effort to make these drugs available, over the counter, to girls of any age.

Confessional Integrity and the Stewardship of Words

In the end, theological education is all about the stewardship of words. So it was when Paul commissioned Timothy. So is it now.

Same-Sex Marriage as a Civil Right: Are Wrongs Rights?

The key question we now face is this: Does recognition of civil rights for all people require the normalization of homosexuality and the legalization of same-sex marriage?

Margaret Thatcher, one of the most significant leaders of the 20th century, died yesterday at age 87. A model of convictional leadership, Margaret Thatcher became almost universally known as Britain's "Iron Lady."

Bracketing Morality: The Marginalization of Moral Argument in the Same-Sex Marriage Debate

Without moral judgment there is no truth, and without truth there is no moral judgment. And there is no wrong side of history, apart from what the truth is.

Of First Importance: The Cross and Resurrection at the Center

What is of first importance? "That Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures," and "that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures." The cross and the empty tomb stand at the center of the Christian faith. Without these, there is no good news — no salvation.

Marriage in the Dock: The Supreme Court Considers Same-Sex Marriage

The next two days are destined to stand among the most significant days in our nation's constitutional history, but the issues at stake reach far beyond the U.S. Constitution. Nothing less than marriage is in the dock, with the nation's highest court set to consider two cases that deal with the question of the legalization of same-sex marriage.

Adultery: When Law and Morality (Used to) Agree

The Colorado legislature is considering the repeal of laws in the state that criminalize adultery or any act that would "promote sexual immorality."

A Warped Worldview: Another Moral Effect of Pornography

For the most part, previous research into the effects of pornography has focused on the psychological and physiological effects of pornography exposure. More recently, research has emerged that points to another effect of pornography exposure — it warps the worldview of the viewer.

The Christian Leader in the Digital Age

Our imperative to fulfill Christian leadership in the digital world is not technological. We should not use this technology simply because it is there. Our driving motivation must be a Gospel imperative.

So What If Abortion Ends a Life? Rare Candor From the Culture of Death

So the mother and the child are both fully human, fully alive and fully recognized as human life. But the mother can abort that human life within her for any reason or for no stated reason at all.

Limping Between Two Opinions: The Moral Evacuation of the Boy Scouts of America

Those who believe that homosexual conduct is sin cannot endorse the new local option policy, and Scouting units that hold to this position will inevitably be marginalized. Those who celebrate and demand the normalization of homosexuality, on the other hand, cannot and will not be satisfied with a half-measure like a local option.
