The Midnight Library by Matt Haig is the story of Nora Seed, a thirty-something English woman who attempts suicide and ends up in a library between life and death. Its shelves are filled to the brim with an infinite number of books, all holding a life she could have lived had she made different choices.…
Happy Mother’s Day!
To celebrate Mother's Day, we wanted to share a great sermon on Biblical Feminism from one of our elders, Pastor Bryan Hodge. You're welcome.
Christian Takeaways From Oprah’s Royal Interview
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview that aired earlier this week. Both here in the States and across the pond, people sat glued to their screens as Meghan and Harry leveled accusation after accusation against the royal family and the institution of the…
Jesus is Lord of All, Not Lord of A Lot
I went into watching this Paul Washer video because I was interested in learning more about biblical courtship. Instead, I got a powerful reminder of why we, as Christians, need to affirm that our commitment to Christ extends into every aspect of our lives. Synchronization of culture and Christianity is NOT an option in the…
Age Segregation is the Death of the Church
It’s not uncommon for us in the United States to have arguments about generational differences. Baby Boomers are stubborn and selfish, the Gen X crowd is cynical and rebellious, and Millennials are whiny and entitled. That’s just the tip of the iceberg in the generational blame game. It’s no wonder we fixate on our differences…
Lessons from the Pediatric ICU
On December 15th, we had an accident. My husband tripped over the gate we use to keep our dogs from coming up the stairs. He was holding our nearly three-month-old daughter. She fell, swaddled, from his height--he’s not a short man--and landed on the side of her head/face at the top of the stairs. I…
The Feminist Lie That Nearly Destroyed My Life
I never wanted children. Even now, I struggle to understand fully how or when this sentiment lodged itself so deeply within me. I could return to my childhood and turn over the pieces like paving stones, searching through cool dirt for the writhing, wriggling beginnings of this deception, but it would be a fruitless endeavor.…
‘Hamilton’ and the Christian Response to Authority
I was living in New York during the “Hamilton” craze of 2015. At that time, it seemed you couldn’t go a full day without some mention of the musical or a sleeve-tugged urging that you just had to fork over the $400+ to see the show or else perish an unfulfilled life. You might think…
How to Overcome Secular Brainwashing
If you’re reformed, you have likely heard the expression semper reformanda (always reforming). This phrase was meant as a rally cry for the church to be continually reevaluating traditions and beliefs to ensure accordance with the Word of God. At the heart of the sentiment is an emphasis on purifying both doctrine and practice (theology…
Tear it Down to Rebuild: The Eschatology of Progressivism
I’m certainly not the first to note the religious nature of the Left’s social justice movement. Whether it’s in the liturgical listen and repeat refrains, the public “floggings” and unacknowledged pleas for absolution, the requisite genuflection, or the recent canonization of George Floyd at his nationally-broadcasted funeral service, the Left has long relied on religious…
