Reclaiming True Love

Our culture demands that every form and expression of love is equally valid and thus deserving of full acceptance. But does love require us to celebrate unfettered expressions of so-called love?

Why do we, as Southern Baptists, cooperate?

As I grew older and became a Southern Baptist pastor, I’ve realized our convention isn’t evenly uniform. The truth is, we’re different in lots of ways. Our differences span from different ministries to worship style to even precise doctrinal positions. Southern Baptists are cheerfully diverse. If we’re different in so many ways, then what unifies us? Why do we cooperate as a convention of autonomous churches?

Protesting: How should churches respond?

The Evangelical world was shocked on Jan. 18, 2026, when a group of roughly 30 protestors invaded Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., during a worship service. While Christians aren’t surprised when unbelievers sin, we were shocked to see the sacred space of religious worship attacked so blatantly. This remarkable action should lead Christians and churches to think clearly about what the Bible says regarding protesting and how churches should biblically respond.

What is success in ministry, life?

If I were to ask you, “What is success?”, how would you answer? Would your answer include something tangible, like possessions or gadgets? Would it be quantifiable, like income or position? Would it be relational, like praise and affirmation from others? Would it be generational, as in legacy or notoriety?

Christian, don’t give up!

Christian, don’t grow weary in doing good. Don’t give in. Don’t give up. Keep pressing toward the prize, which is Jesus Christ and His eternal glory. It really is worth it.

What is truth?

So, what is truth? It’s not subjectively discovered by our preferences, feelings, or experiences. Truth isn’t even beliefs approved by culture. Genuine truth is the objective, absolute reality determined by God that holistically points to his great glory and name. As Jesus powerfully declared, “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:32).

From pride to Christ: One Missouri Baptist woman’s journey back to Jesus

“I don’t think I can live a gay life anymore.” Every June, our culture celebrates Pride Month, an entire month dedicated to affirming sin. As our culture propagates LGBTQ stories, Christians should be encouraged that God is still in the business of graciously bringing people out of darkness and into his glorious light.

How should Christians respond to Pride month?

During Pride Month, Christians would be wise to understand reality, stand firm in the truth, and love through all we do. May our response to Pride Month be filled with so much gospel light and hope that all who see us “glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16).

Do we live in gospel disconnect?

Scripture clearly speaks to salvation and theological truths. But Scripture also clearly speaks to the practical areas of life. God envisions the normative Christian life as shaped by Scripture, not the culture. What we say, what we do, how we do it, how we spend our time, and who we choose to be with are all addressed in Scripture.

After 100 years, Machen’s work remains timeless critique of theological liberalism

In 1923, while a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, J. Gresham Machen addressed the growing tide in evangelicalism towards theological liberalism. Now, 100 years later, evangelicals would be wise to listen to the warnings in "Christianity and Liberalism" that still apply today.
