morality

Theologian and author Albert Mohler is encouraging Christians to “trust the Bible, not Amy” after a popular advice columnist endorsed polyamorous relationships as “ethical non-monogamy.”

In our world, special social status is awarded to people perceived as victims. Thus, testimonies of victimization—both inside the Church and out—get louder play. Stories of everyday faithfulness, sacrifice, and ministry seem boring. And, in a secular culture increasingly hostile to Christianity, one person’s negative experience at church or disdain for Christianity in general will be much better received and more readily believed than the opposite testimony, even if that one person’s perception is false, or at least uncommon. Simply put, a lot of people just don’t want to like the Church.

Is it our last stand—our last chance? Who knows? I'll let God answer that question, but as for me and my house and our church, we will serve the Lord and fight the good fight of faith. We will fuel the flames of revival. We will till the soil of our heart and prepare for the downpour of the Spirit. We will continue praying that God would rend the heavens, come down, and strengthen His church. When it's over, I want to be found lying exhausted on the battlefield rather than running in fear. How about you? If this is our last stand, will you finish strong?

The collision between religious liberty and sexual freedom is escalating daily. Laws banning “conversion therapy” have been passed by more than a dozen countries including France, New Zealand, and Canada. Several U.S. states have also banned the treatment.

Theologian and seminary president Albert Mohler says evangelicals who believe gambling isn't a moral issue need to consider the real-world impact on families.

We should consider the consequences for societies that leap into medical suicide with nothing but good intentions.

When a cultural compass has no “north,” it will point in the direction it is pointed. In the absence of “the” truth, we are left with “your” truth and “my” truth. And when your truth disadvantages my truth, I will do what it takes to ensure that my truth wins. In fact, however, we both lose.

Recent surveys show that millennials are “leading the shift away from organized religion” as they seek truth that seems more relevant to their personal lives and challenges. At the same time, studies demonstrate that young people value giving back to their communities in practical and relevant ways. As a result, every problem Christians meet through intercession and personal engagement is an opportunity to show others the relevance of Jesus’ love and grace to our broken world.

History will view corporations such as Mars, Incorporated as the leading advocates of the current moral revolution that is blurring the lines on the definitions of male and female, says theologian and seminary president Albert Mohler.
