On his radio show today, Dr. Mohler tackles the ever-growing falsehood that conservative Christianity is a secret movement promoting a Christian theonomy.
Of course, no matter how many times it is clearly stated, some like Bruce Prescott will insist on labeling conservative Christianity in America as “dominionism” or “Reconstructionism”.

in taking you as my wife, my treasure, my pleasure, my grace,
I have stood under a Niagara Falls of divine blessing. Sharing time and space

Dr. Mohler comments on a study that reveals a hypocrisy between what moderate Baptists say about women in ministry… and what they actually have in their own local churches.

James and Virginia Stowers, who founded the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City, have provided about $15 million of the $16 million being used by the pro-cloning organization known as the Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures. That is the coalition that wants […]
Delegates of the Presbyterian Church USA have approved gender-inclusive language for The Trinity that is not exclusively Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A study panel recommendation recently adopted advocates “fresh ways to speak of the mystery of the triune God. One reason is that language limited to the Father and Son has been used to […]
