For a Bowl of Stew
What is the Church trading away for the sake of convenience? Esau exchanged his birthright for a bowl of stew. Today, too many churches risk outsourcing their God-given mission for efficiency, funding, and comfort. It's a sobering challenge to consider.

Women Pastors and the Southern Baptists
There is quite a ruckus in the Southern Baptist Convention and the media over the issue of whether women should hold the position of pastor in a local church. The fact that such even needs discussion reveals a lack of biblical understanding on the part of many.

Hope For Illinois Isn’t Lost

Should Christian Families Use AI?
The Bible doesn’t speak to the issue of Ai with specificity because it is obviously a new issue, so we need to be careful we don’t try to create Biblical mandates where there are none. The Bible does, however, speak to some of the macro issues.

Christians Can Use Social Media Tools to Share Biblical Truth
For too long, Christians have watched as Hollywood, academia, and legacy media use their platforms to shape culture with worldviews increasingly hostile to biblical truth. But we have a voice.

Going Back for the Future
First, let’s agree there is no such thing as a crystal ball. Back in the day, friends would buy one of those Magic-8-balls to which you would ask a question, shake it slightly and then turn it over to see a response through the “little window at its base. Please note this is not science!
Motherhood– Hard, Beautiful, and Sanctifying
I am just coming out of the 8-9 month sleep regression phase. Any other parents know that the “developmental leaps” that accompany difficulty sleeping are some of the most tiring seasons of parenthood.

Deadly Compassion
The Left calls itself “compassionate.” But compassion that ignores truth, rejects accountability, and delivers short-term comfort with long-term destruction isn’t love—it’s cruelty. Real compassion tells the truth, disciplines when necessary, and seeks life, not death.
