Warriors and Wusses: A Review of 'The Ethics of the Octagon' by Sean DeMars
The central argument of the book is that “professional MMA is sinful” and therefore Christians should not watch it or work in it. To be fair, if that is true, then he is absolutely right. Sin is an offense against a holy God and Christians should not take part in it. That’s what will need to be proven: MMA is sinful.
Not Yet Born: A Biblical Defense of Preborn Humans
Because Scripture affirms that all human beings have inherent dignity as image-bearers of God, and because the preborn are consistently described in Scripture as fully human persons, it follows that the preborn share the same moral worth, value, and right to protection as all other human beings.
The First Thanksgiving: A Feast of Providence

An Open Letter in Support of Youth For Christ in Leland
Since the earliest days of our nation, faith-based organizations have been integral to public life—building hospitals, founding universities, supporting families, caring for the poor, and meeting the needs of their neighbors. This reflects the biblical call to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Youth For Christ stands firmly in that lineage.
When A City Grieves: A Pastoral Response
A man made in the image of God is dead, two young men face justice, and a city trembles beneath the weight of sin and sorrow. In moments like this we mourn honestly, confront evil soberly, and cling stubbornly to the hope that Christ is near to the brokenhearted.
The Reformation in Five Words
The gospel was rediscovered in the 16th century during the Protestant Reformation. These weren’t the conjurings of Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli. They were a few of the many who knew the Church of Rome had departed from biblical fidelity. The core of the Reformation is that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone.
