The Sword and the Cross — Part 2
When Is War Just? There is a dangerous instinct in man. When faced with the horror of war, some rush to justify it.Others rush to condemn it entirely. But Scripture will not allow either extreme. Because while Part 1 forced us to wrestle with the reality of war…Part 2 forces us to wrestle with something…

When Prophecy Fell – Part 6: Babylon the Great
The Book of Revelation introduces a mysterious and powerful symbol. A city described as Babylon the Great. She appears in dramatic imagery throughout the later chapters of the book—a wealthy and powerful city accused of corruption, violence, and persecution. Her fall is celebrated in heaven. But one question has puzzled readers for centuries. Who is…

When Prophecy Fell – Part 5: The War That Changed Everything
By the year AD 66, the tension that had been building in Judea for decades finally exploded. The Jewish people had endured Roman occupation for generations. Roman governors ruled the land.

When Prophecy Fell – Part 4: Jesus Already Told Us This Would Happen
Long before the apostle John received the visions recorded in Revelation, Jesus had already warned that something catastrophic was coming. It happened during the final week of His earthly ministry.

When Prophecy Fell – Part 3: The Beast and the Number 666
Few numbers in history have sparked as much speculation as 666. For generations, Christians have tried to decode it. Some have linked it to world leaders. Others have tied it to technology, barcodes, microchips, or secret conspiracies hidden beneath the surface of modern society. But the first readers of the Book of Revelation would not…

When Prophecy Fell – Part 2: A World on the Brink
If we want to understand the Book of Revelation, we must step back into the world of the first century. It was a world that felt increasingly unstable. To Christians scattered across the Roman Empire, the future looked uncertain. The empire seemed unstoppable, its legions stretched across continents, and its emperors ruled with a power…

When Prophecy Fell – Part 1: The Prophecy Everyone Puts in the Future
Few books of the Bible have captured the imagination of Christians quite like the Book of Revelation. It is filled with dragons and beasts, trumpets and bowls, cosmic battles and apocalyptic visions. For generations, believers have tried to decode its symbols, chart its timelines, and match its imagery to events unfolding in the modern world.…

WHY REFORMED?
A Biblical Examination Throughout this series, we have asked hard questions of other traditions. We have examined Rome.Orthodoxy.Pentecostalism.Presbyterianism.Baptists.Lutherans.Anglicans.Non-denominational churches.Universalism. If Scripture alone governs the Church, then no tradition — including our own — stands above examination. So now we ask: Why Reformed? Not as tribal allegiance.Not as intellectual pride.Not as reaction. But as conviction. 1.…

Let’s Talk About Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every January, Martin Luther King, Jr. is either canonized beyond criticism or condemned beyond usefulness. Neither approach is honest.Neither approach helps us learn. If we are going to talk about Dr. King—and we should—then we need to do so with both gratitude and discernment. Christians, of all people, ought to be able to walk that…

Cassius Marcellus Clay: The Abolitionist Who Would Not Back Down
When Americans picture abolitionists, we tend to imagine ink-stained fingers, polite speeches, and moral appeals made from safe distances. Cassius Marcellus Clay did not operate at a safe distance. He published abolitionist newspapers in slave territory. He carried Bowie knives into political meetings. He survived assassination attempts. He killed attackers in self-defense. And he never…

From Narco-States to Neighborhoods: How Corruption, Open Borders, and Fentanyl Built a Pipeline of Death
Fentanyl did not become America’s deadliest drug by chance. It arrived here through a pipeline—constructed deliberately, protected politically, and tolerated culturally. That pipeline begins in corrupt, cartel-entangled regimes in South America, runs through open corridors created by failed border policy, and ends in American homes, hospitals, and cemeteries. This is not conjecture. It is consequence.…

The Gospel — Clear, Simple, and True
Most people believe they are “good enough” for God. They compare themselves to others and conclude that, surely, they’ll be fine in the end. But the question is not whether we are better than others.The question is whether we are right before God. And God has given us a standard. God Is Holy — and…

The Wicked Propaganda of the Pro-Choice Left
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,who put darkness for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”— Isaiah 5:20 (ESV) Modern culture has mastered the art of rebranding evil as virtue. Nowhere is this clearer than in the rhetoric of the pro-choice movement. What began as…

What God Breaks: A Reflection on Matthew 8:5–13
Introduction: The Gift of Brokenness There is a strange paradox in the Christian life: the more we grow in faith, the more aware we become of our brokenness. For many, brokenness is seen as failure or weakness. But in the kingdom of God, brokenness is not a defect—it is the doorway. Our brokenness is the…

“And They Laid Their Coats…”
1) The stadium and the stones Sunday afternoon, the doors opened at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and a river of people—families with toddlers balanced on hips, college students in hoodies, retirees in flag pins, pastors in Sunday suits—flowed into the bowl of seats until the place looked like a living topography of grief…

The Folly of Ibram X. Kendi: How His Ideology Has Harmed Generations
1. Introduction: A False Cure for a Real Disease Jeremiah thundered against false prophets in his day: “They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.” (Jer. 6:14) False cures are often worse than the disease. They promise healing but spread infection. In Paul’s day, the false…

Blood Cries from the Ground: Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and Revisiting the Call for Public Justice
We live in an age when evil is not merely tolerated but celebrated. Our nation staggers under the weight of lawlessness, and each fresh tragedy reminds us of what happens when justice is delayed, hidden, or excused. In recent days, two murders stand out as chilling testaments to this crisis—the assassination of Charlie Kirk at…

The Righteousness of Public Justice
Our age has redefined love. It is no longer the biblical love that “does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth” (1 Corinthians 13:6). Instead, love is now presented as permissiveness, excuse-making, and endless tolerance. Under this false banner, our culture excuses the vilest sins by labeling them “mental illness,” blaming “systemic oppression,”…
