Since he'd spent his life serving as an interim pastor, I wondered if Larry was a normal interim, or a good one. Asking him how he handled longterm conflicts he discovered in churches he was asked to serve as interim pastor, Larry said it was his habit to expose the church's conflict right out of the gate. "How," I asked? "The first thing I do is change the order of worship. That brings the power...

If we belong to Christ, certainly we didn't enter the Kingdom of Heaven by hearing pastors condemn and expose other men's sins. No, but rather, we confessed Christ after having the work of the Holy Spirit in the power of the preaching of God's Word and Law expose our own sins so thoroughly that we stopped thinking of anyone else's sins but our own.

Of course caring for our own children is to be reciprocated by our children when their parents grow old. These fundamental familial duties are commanded by God as the first obligations of the Second Table of the Law. Yes, without obedience to these first fundamental duties of the law of love, no other fulfillment of that law will ever be honored, nor even likely to be sincere. But where are the ha...

So how does God decide who is a murderer? When God weights acts of murder, He doesn't go easy on those who kill very young and very little babies. He doesn't decree an intermediate condemnation for those who murder these very little ones not yet attached to their mother's womb because they only have " intermediate moral value." The murder of the very young or very old is not more or less evil base...

Excerpt: This then is the expectation of our culture for young women today: prepare for life-consuming responsibilities in the world and in the home—both at the same time—then balance these responsibilities for as long as you can as well as you can. * * * Support Warhorn here .

Excerpt: To be blunt, Evangelical scribes and their publishers have left the plenary inspiration of Scripture behind. Yes, they all continue to sign their names, subscribing to Scripture’s “inerrancy,” but it’s a lie. They believe they can better communicate God’s meaning by deleting God’s Words. He meant well, but the primitive patriarchy of the men He was forced to use to write (for instance) Ps...

Excerpt: The most precious things in life are worth defending. Compassion is God’s gift to our fallen world, so it must be guarded. We must keep our eye on the ball. Counterfeits always devalue the genuine, and this isn’t just true of currency and paintings. It’s also true of moral virtues. False compassion is always an attack upon true compassion. It’s the same with zeal. By nature, prophets spec...

Excerpt: Anyone who has listened to a single campaign speech of President Trump, has ears to hear, and fears God, trembles at this man's pride. Yes, resolve. Yes, patriotism. But do not stop there. Donald J. Trump has shown us an almost supernatural self-esteem and confidence for many years now, and even with a healthy allowance for his many abilities and gifts, we all must acknowledge how much of...

Excerpt: Sexual crimes committed against God's Moral Law are never safe. Never. God created sex for the bonds of love and commitment, and the blessing of sons and daughters born of that love and commitment. Sever the golden bonds of God's Seventh Commandment and all Hell breaks loose. When shooters shoot, this is the truth government agents deny and hide. * * * Support Warhorn here . Music is Rise...

Excerpt: Wheaton is again notorious, although those who have done the dirty deed keep announcing their deceptions are godly and have won the day. Methinks Wheaton’s rich white ladies and men do protest too much. In the end, the question is whether Wheaton’s President loves his students, or not?

Excerpt: Milton, then, was not merely a hired pen of the Republic but its principled supporter. He began his service believing in the possibility that, in the Commonwealth, he was helping to build God’s kingdom on earth. Yet, over the course of his many years’ unflinching service to the Republic and subsequently to Oliver Cromwell as its Lord Protector, Milton’s optimism drained out of him slowly...

Excerpt: Repeatedly, I have warned that the Church seeking political power will compromise the Church's witness. Naming their political aspirations "Christian" is to align the Church with their political aspirations, and the compromise is already visible, and will only grow. Christians should take public moral and ethical stands which uphold God's law, and it's inevitable that those stands will be...
