The Role of the Church in a Second Trump Presidency
4 Steps for Bringing Healing to a Divided Nation When Donald J. Trump took the stage late in the night to celebrate his presidential win, one phrase particularly resonated with me, he acknowledged, “It is time to heal.” Yes, it is time to heal, and the churches of America should lead the way. The election is over, but divisions remain in our churches and in our families. Which leads us to a pressing question: How can we as evangelicals be unified and have a credible witness to the Gospel before the watching world? I would like to share four key … Read More >

Should Christians Oppose A Gender-Neutral Society? | No Reason To Hide #10
Self-perception alone is not a reliable guide for who we are. How can Christians balance civic involvement as well as extending love to those who identify as transgender?

Is “Lived Experience” The Basis For Truth? | No Reason To Hide #7
These days, truth is often defined by what’s within us instead of what’s objectively outside of us. Relative truth results in critical theories which interpret academics and documents, even the Bible, from a lens of oppression and power.

Post-Election Reflections: A Christian Response to Political Outcomes
I’m writing this on Wednesday morning. The election results have just been announced. It seems wise to reflect on how we as Christians ought to respond in this moment. Three main thoughts come to mind: First, if the candidate you voted for won, this is a good time to remember what Psalm 146:3 says, “Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” No matter how enthusiastic our support for a candidate, as followers of Jesus, our deepest and final trust is reserved for God alone. Idolatry is sneaky. We must keep … Read More >

Did God Really Create The Universe? | The Eclipse of God in American Culture #9
Many evolutionists avoid the possibility of God’s existence. Though Charles Darwin did not necessarily deny God’s existence, his theory of evolution has affected many peoples’ view of God. Pastor Lutzer suggests two negative implications if we deny the Creator. If life came from a single organism, what reason do we have for morality?

The Day After the Night Before—Reflections on the Mid-term Elections
Although I have never endorsed a political candidate or a political party, I have long maintained that politics is more important than many Christians realize. Just survey the history of Christianity in other countries and you will find that believers who live with godless political regimes agree that politics is very important. The Gospel, of course, is most important, but politics does have far-reaching implications for all of us. With that in mind, I stayed up quite late last night expecting to hear whether the Republicans or Democrats would win a majority in the House or Senate, but as of … Read More >

How Can We Stand For Christ In Good Conscience? | No Reason To Hide #3
Christian convictions are being challenged by the prevailing cultural narrative. We might say nothing or even go along with the dominant cultural ideas. Pastor Lutzer defines the courage it takes to speak carefully, according to our conscience, in a day when freedom of speech is being uniquely censored. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Get the book, No Reason To Hide.
