Let’s Talk Deconstruction: What It Is & How to Respond

L

Stories of deconstruction break my heart. A few years ago, after hearing of a well-known Christian author abandoning Christianity, I remember going upstairs to my room and crying on the edge of my bed. Just this morning, I saw a Facebook post from a young woman saying she was “glad to announce” that she was leaving Christianity because “it wasn’t working” for her anymore. Deconstruction is common...

“My Truth” and the Worldview Transformation Gen Z Needs

“Follow your heart” seems to be the anthem of my generation. Gen Z has been given a lens through which to view the world, one that places self at the center. When there is no foundation of authority, there is an absence of absolute truth. Our culture tells us that we are free to change genders, being free from the authority of the God who created us with a specific gender at birth. The world...

Comfort Amid Question Marks: Truth I Learned in My Waiting Season

C

This year has been marked with a significant amount of waiting in my life. In January, I began the process of applying for an awesome opportunity—but along with it came paperwork, interview calls, reading, appointments, and emails. I did not have a solid “yes” or “no” for months. My anxiety escalated as so much hung in the balance. It was not easy. Eventually, God allowed...

Absolute Truth: What It Is and Why It Matters

A

“The truth is like a lingering fart…everyone can smell it, everyone knows it’s there, but no one wants to admit it.” While this is just a silly quote, it’s also an attempt to show that the truth is hard to follow and even harder to acknowledge. Today it’s become popular to reject absolute truth in lieu of the mantra “follow your truth.” But what would our world look like without...

3 Ways to Remember Truth When We Doubt Our Salvation

If you had been my shadow during the summer of my twelfth year, you would have seen me weeping alone many times. Throughout the day, I yearned for night so I could be oblivious of my thoughts while I slept, yet as I lay in bed at night I longed for daytime distractions. Why? Because even though I had accepted Jesus as a young child, had been baptized, and wanted to serve Him, I feared that maybe...

You’re Not Alone, and the Kirk Cameron Story Hour Proves It

Y

Drag Queen Story Hours have increasingly grown in popularity among many public libraries. One such story hour was held at Maryland’s Kensington Park Library in July of 2022. The library stated that “Drag Queen Hour captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity in childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.” There have been many news stories...

3 Truths to Cling to This Christmas

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” once again. Toys are more abundant, Christmas music plays from every speaker and radio station, and Christmas lights twinkle as I drive home at night. I love to look around and take in the beauty of the Christmas season. I am so thankful for the decorations, the parties, the music, the treats, and the gathering of loved ones. But there is so often...

What is a Biblical Christian?

W

According to a recent 2021 study, while 51% of Americans claim to have a biblical worldview, only 6% actually have a biblical worldview!   Let that sobering number sink in for a minute. If we take our Christianity seriously, and if we really care about the next generation and the spread of the Gospel, then we must ask some hard questions: How does this happen? Am I part of the 6%? Maybe, but...

Navigating College: 2 Ways to Build a Solid Foundation of Truth

N

It feels like déjà vu yet again. Sitting down at my computer, headphones in, I hear the familiar messages. Reading through my textbooks, I am constantly bombarded by them. Messages that contradict the Word of God. Messages that feel good to the hearer and those who believe in them. Messages that lead many to death. Throughout my semesters in college, I have watched many Zoom lectures for my...
