You Don’t Need to Forgive Yourself, So Stop Trying

Last updated on: September 30, 2019 at 3:34 pm By Grayson Gilbert

I personally suspect the teaching to forgive yourself has the same roots as the self-care movement–after all, how can you possibly [sic] experience true, lasting forgiveness unless you have forgiven yourself? That sounds oddly like its sister phrase: how can you possibly let your cup overflow unto others unless you’ve filled yourself up first? The reality is that neither self-care nor self-forgiveness are biblical values, virtues, or anything worthy of emulation–they are vices. They supplant not only mankind’s stance before... Read more

10 Simple Ways to Encourage Your Pastor

Last updated on: September 10, 2019 at 4:01 pm By Grayson Gilbert

A great number of blog posts have been written on the topic of how to encourage your pastor, but I sense in some capacity, some of the more difficult words have been softened to one degree or another. Many gravitate toward giving gifts to express your love for your pastor and encourage them. I am not knocking this in the least–it is an incredibly warm expression of care to receive a small card with a gift, or a hefty pile... Read more

Drew Brees Fumbles Statement on Christian Love

Last updated on: September 6, 2019 at 12:36 pm By Jack Lee

In a recent video published on Twitter, New Orleans Saints' Quarterback, Drew Brees defended his involvement with Focus on the Family, an organization known for anti-LGBTQ views. He was responding to some criticism surrounding a video he produced encouraging Christians to bring their bibles to school. In doing so, Mr. Brees walked into a common pitfall of postmodern Christianity: a misapplication of what it means to biblically love one’s neighbor. Read more

3 Lessons from the Rise of ‘EXvangelicals’ and How Not to Become One

Last updated on: October 9, 2021 at 3:03 pm By Jack Lee

There is a growing trend of prominent Christian leaders and artists forsaking historic, Christian doctrines and morals—denying the God they used to proclaim. Many are even adopting the designation “EXvangelicals” to describe themselves. Joshua Harris, former Covenant Life Church Pastor and Christian purity book author, is the most recent to abandon orthodox beliefs for the culture’s fool’s gold. His denouncement of Christianity shocked countless people who grew up with his advice on dating, courtships, and sexual purity. For many of... Read more

Farewell, Joshua Harris

Last updated on: July 26, 2019 at 10:44 pm By Grayson Gilbert

Joshua Harris, famous for writing “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” on the courtship model, announced via Instagram that he is no longer a Christian. In it, he explains his “deconstruction” of a biblical worldview and further expresses remorse for many of his previous beliefs. Inevitably, what this portrays of Joshua Harris is that he went down a road seeking to “repent of his wrongs” in advocating for what can only be construed as biblical conservatism, yet came out on the opposite...

‘I Don’t Need Theology, I Just Need Jesus’ Just Means You Have Bad Theology

Last updated on: June 3, 2019 at 10:42 am By Jack Lee

Theology is critical for all, especially for Christians. A denial of the need for theology is often just an excuse for laziness and disbelief. It is this poor logic that plights the liberal and shallow branches of Christianity. Embracing such deceptions, they will convince themselves that aimless acceptance and/or misguided passion is an adequate replacement for Jesus' propitiation of God’s wrath. Read more

The True Legacy of Rachel Held Evans

Last updated on: May 11, 2019 at 11:09 am By Grayson Gilbert

I have spent the past few days pondering the events surrounding the death of Rachel Held Evans and wondering of what use it would be to contribute towards the discussion that has ensued in her passing. In some sense, I feel there is little to contribute, as many finer writers than I have given commentary on the event, expressing not only condolences to her family and those impacted by her, but have even set up GoFundMe fundraisers in order to...
