The 50th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) was so encouraging for Bible-believing evangelicals in the denomination, notwithstanding the screeds of certain discernment tweeters/bloggers. #pcaga #presby4life

Before 2016, I never thought that I’d live in the South. I never thought that I’d love the South. I never thought that I would love living in the South. And yet here am I, joyously loving living in the South, y’all.

Today would have been my dad’s 70th birthday. He always took a week off from work for his birthday, and we’d go down the shore or to Dorney Park or something like that. His 60th was the last birthday we celebrated together, and I’m really missing his voice and laugh today. He had

In response to a question a few days ago about America's history of slavery, I gave a brief answer that I hoped would express my biblical anti-slavery position, but I recognize that I was insufficiently clear in how I addressed the matter. I sincerely regret and apologize for not

I taught a membership class on worship today, and I extensively used the Directory for Public Worship, as found in the Book of Church Order of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). I can’t wait for this to be constitutionally binding.
