We want idyllic towns, kids playing outside, and French fries fried in beef tallow. In short, we feel and want “nostalgia.”

Misunderstanding Church Discipline by Danny Steinmeyer

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 13:04:44 +0000

"Discipline is definitely involved in “church discipline,” and it is not at all an unloving term. When we are unable to exhibit sufficient, godly self-discipline, then Scripture provides us with principles for disciplining one another in the body of Christ. Yet, another valid description of the process would be “biblical restoration,” because the heart of the church’s effort is to see a sinner restored to right standing with God and fellowship with the church body.

Along with most Protestants in nineteenth-century America, Jackson saw no issue in petitioning the U.S. government (nor the general government of the Confederacy) to honor the Sabbath in civil life.

Really though, it is not so much a new path but a return to the old path we left to our peril. "

The episode explores the profound impacts of Biden’s policies on American families, from vaccine mandates to the fentanyl crisis, and the relief many feel as Trump’s leadership promises a return to common-sense governance. We delve into the shifting dynamics in evangelical circles, where emotions have been weaponized to justify policies like illegal immigration, and discuss the importance of biblical justice in navigating these issues. As Christians, we explore the call to pursue power for the good of society and stand firm against cultural and moral decay. Join us in celebrating the reprieve from the chaos of the last administration, and prepare to take action as we look toward a future shaped by better principles and leadership.

Why The Christian Right Loses, And How It Can Win by Jake Lay

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 00:27:01 +0000

"Since the Dobbs decision and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many eyes have been opened on “the right” regarding our political and religious leaders’ ostensible commitment to human life. We have come to realize that many of our national pro-life organizations and politicians are simply using this issue to raise campaign funds for the likelihood of reelection. Since that realization, the debate has shifted in a positive direction."

A Call To Visitation Ministry by Joonas Laajanen

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 00:06:57 +0000

"Visiting the sick, the needy, and the shut-ins is part and parcel of pastoral vocation but also an office of kindness to which all Christians are called. There is a special obligation to engage in visitation when the subject is a brother or a sister. Open doors to visit unbelievers are also to be taken as evangelistic opportunities. Like earthly doctors offer medicine for the body, so Christians are to offer the medicine of the soul to those about to face eternity."

An Open Letter To Rainbow Churches by Richard Henry

Sat, 06 Jul 2024 18:37:03 +0000

"The issue is if you will confess your sin. Too many in the visible church do not do this or even see a need, and when confronted with this notion are immediately offended and cite some red letter bible verse as justification for not doing it, as if Jesus opposes his own words elsewhere or the apostles he commissioned!

This is something that is not only ignored but hated in nearly all rainbow apologist ‘churches,’ especially if anyone attempts to confront your support and promotion of the LGBT ‘community.’ "

"Often, it’s the everyday strife and struggle that brings one to the edge of the cliff. Men, especially middle-aged family men, are more likely to commit suicide. There are a variety of societal explanations for this, but in an anti-masculine society, it’s no surprise that many men feel powerless to stand against what they see as insurmountable odds. “I’m a failure” can become the defining maxim among discouraged men."

TruthScript Tuesday Special: A Biblical View of Mass Migration with Jamie Bambrick

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 23:30:16 +0000

A TruthScript Tuesday special: David Harris and Jamie Bambrick discuss a biblical view of mass migration.

This issue is often either misunderstood or weaponized against conservative Christians to make them look uncaring, discompassionate, and cold-hearted.

David and Jamie lay out the issue of conflating biblical categories to achieve a pro-mass migration stance, and why borders are biblical.

They also discuss the appropriate response on a personal level of one's nation being flooded with outsiders.

Russell Moore Loses His Religion by Jon Harris

"Some of Moore’s own former supporters now see his brand of evangelicalism as controversial. The obvious question is, “What happened?” How did someone who climbed their way to the top of conservative Christianity find themselves on the fringes? The question stretches beyond Russell Moore. Other evangelical elites like Beth Moore, David Platt, and Matt Chandler could ask the same question as they have watched their audience divide and shrink for the past few years. Moore’s answer can be summed up with the reverse of a common breakup line: “It’s not me, it’s you.”"

Just recently The Sentinel published an article with the headline: “Over half of Southern Baptist universities have DEI infrastructures.” I do not want to discourage conservatives more than they already are, but the reality is this: the problems associated with a DEI office are merely the tip of the iceberg."

Repentance is a Christian grace highlighting that God and man are binary oppositions because God is inherently distinct from his creation. Repentance of sin keeps the man/God binary front and center."
