For a millennium, European Christians fought to keep militant Islam outside Christendom’s gates. Now those same nations are dismantling their own Christian traditions because jihadist violence makes celebrating Christmas too dangerous and too costly. standingforfreedom.com/2025/11/18/ger…

There is a need to recover and utilize the Westminster Standards. In a day of lax theological formulations and widely divergent beliefs, it’s essential for pastors and elders to be pointing their congregants to these scripturally-saturated formulations... reformation21.org/the-creeds-and…

Two people can watch the same clip, the same conflict, the same cultural meltdown, and come away with two different worlds. When a nation loses the ability to agree on what is true, the collapse is not theoretical. It’s inevitable. virgilwalker.substack.com/p/why-america-…

My plea is not merely about semantics but about the clarity and integrity of the church office in the PCA. I am not writing this to attack fellow believers, but because I believe our words, practices, and church structures matter. medium.com/@thomas.rickar…

We've seen a few reformedish churches making so-called land acknowledgments, recognizing native tribes who had lived in their areas centuries before. This might be the best acknowledgement: "The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it."

TE Josh Kim and TE Howard Brown led its PCA church congregation in a Thanksgiving-themed corporate confession for the Puritans oppressing Indigenous peoples and for the present-day believers creating "this system."

Communal confession for: -Genocide -Appropriation -Pollution and much more! "Our ancestors are no more, but we bear their shame." "If you're thinking, 'ah, that's that liberal stuff,' 'oh, that's that CRT stuff,' no, this is that biblical stuff."



These false prophets would masquerade as fellow sheep in the flock... They would put on sheep’s wool and try to look like sheep. But in reality, Jesus said these are ravenous, grasping wolves. reformedpolitics.substack.com/p/falsehood-an…

Preachers are afraid to deal with the “soft sciences.” ...We leave our members to be held captive by the philosophies of the world... Expository preaching makes us thoroughly equipped to give real answers for spiritual problems... g3min.org/expositors-tea…

I have to admit, I was really blown away by how much attention my previous post about the PCA got... This one is going to be a deeper dive into questions about membership, attendance, and additions and subtractions to PCA churches in the database... graphsaboutreligion.com/p/everything-y…

America’s problem isn’t that people are hungry. It’s that we’ve been trained to look to the wrong provider. We no longer pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Now we pray, “Government, give us this day our EBT card.” virgilwalker.substack.com/p/sweat-econom…

Sadly, I believe some people read our BCO with a thesaurus in their hand treating concepts and principles as interchangeable... We should do what the BCO explicitly says rather than doing what we want it to say... medium.com/@thomas.rickar…
