Does Your Church Need to Repent for the Nursery?

The Family Integrated Church movement effectively says that churches ought to repent of having a nursery. Writing for The Cripplegate, Dan Crabtree explains how this binds consciences on an issue where Scripture does not.

Why We Won’t Spend Eternity in Heaven

It is important for Christians to know and understand that we won’t actually spend eternity in heaven (depending, of course, what we mean by heaven). “One pervasive misconception is that we’ll spend eternity in heaven, gathered around God’s throne with the angels.

How should you respond when Christians are mocked in popular culture? Here’s one solid answer to the question.

What Pastoral Productivity Can and Cannot Do For You

It is important for pastors to know what productivity can and cannot do for them. The same is true of non-pastors as well, of course.

Flashback: Why I Owe Everything To Don Lewis

Don found opportunities to explain the gospel of grace and to call dad to it. And eventually dad realized he had finally found ideas that were big enough to fill his mind and great enough to satisfy his heart.

Most men are notable for one conspicuous virtue or grace. Moses for meekness, Job for patience, John for love. But, in Jesus you find everything.

    You, Me, and G3

    AI Makes Me Doubt Everything
