Late last year I wrote a three-part series on what I called "Covenantal Complementarianism." In these articles, I sought to introduce the idea of applying the five-point covenantal framework on authority and submission within a Christian Marriage. Applying this model corrects some of the abuses typical complementarians fall into regarding the authority of the husband... Continue Reading →
In 1980 Dr. Gary North, free-market economist and leading giant of theonomic commentaries, hired David Chilton to write a response to a popular Christian socialist. This book was not only a response but still stands today as one of the most thorough, compelling, and brutally effective demolitions of Marxist ideals in relation to Christian ethics....

Christian Reconstructionists have a lot to say about justice, law, and impartiality, but if we pick and choose which injustices to oppose while embracing others, the rest of the Church will take note, and the world will take note too. How can we dare hold anti-abortion signs comparing various holocausts and then let a man who denies the Jewish holocaust teach the sheep?
Every once in awhile there is something that I feel like I have to write. I will have an enormous burden on my heart until I get these thoughts and ideas out. This is such an article. I am also publishing this on my own personal site because, well, it is deeply personal. I will... Continue Reading →
I once knew a US Military combat veteran of the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. He was a believer, a bit gruff, a faithful husband, a good father and grandfather, and a bit racist against Asians. Think of Clint Eastwood’s character from Gran Torino. This man had become hardened and calloused from his many personal experiences. He... Continue Reading →
In a rather silly display, I’ve seen many “anti-social-justice-warriors” make statements effectively decrying the use of extra-Biblical adjectives. Proclamations along the lines of “we don’t need social-justice because we have justice!” and “the Bible doesn’t qualify justice” are all over blogs and social media. Not only is this bold anti-adjective stance nonsensical, but it is... Continue Reading →
Months ago I wrote a paper detailing the ongoing “Peter Hammond controversy”. In this paper, I spoke at some length on the admitted and proven heretical kinism of PeterHammond, the various ethical charges brought against Hammond, the corresponding excommunication of Hammond, and the Biblical position of inviting the heretical and excommunicated Hammond to a Christian...

In the first part of this series, I introduced the idea that both common views of authority within marriage, egalitarianism and complementarianism, fail to meet the Biblical mark. Both views base their positions on ontology: i.e., the position of husband, the gender of male, or the radical ontological equality of all. I also defined these terms as... Continue Reading →
This is a guest post from Allen and Elizabeth Sacks. I am providing my little and humble platform as a means of hosting their story. It is not a fun or easy story to tell. Their storyis about the need for a beloved local church to repent, pride, deception, manipulation, and sin. I know from... Continue Reading →
