Are We Missing Books from the Bible?

The original King James Bible included writings that most modern versions leave out. Other Christian traditions still consider some of them Scripture. That doesn't necessarily mean anything is missing, but it does make me wonder what else I don't know about the Bible I've always trusted.

Something Still Doesn't Sit Right

More than a year after Charlie Kirk's assassination, I still admire his unwavering Christian faith, intellectual courage, and remarkable discernment. Yet questions linger about Erika Kirk's public response and the role she has assumed since his death. It's a difficult tension between trusting our instincts, exercising biblical discernment, and remembering that only God truly knows the heart.

Religious Freedom for Everyone—Except Christians?

A Quran on the library shelf, but no Bible to be found. A Texas student's testimony before Congress exposes a troubling question: Are public schools truly practicing religious neutrality, or has Christianity become the exception to their promises of tolerance and inclusion?

The Letter They Loved Until They Didn't

It's remarkable how quickly a moral crusade can become a corporate embarrassment. Perhaps the greatest danger isn't the ideology itself, but a culture willing to surrender its conscience to whoever holds the most influence.

The Resurrection Doesn't Need Science's Permission

We've become so accustomed to asking science for proof that we've forgotten the difference between investigating evidence and granting permission for truth to exist. The Shroud of Turin deserves serious examination, but the resurrection of Jesus Christ isn't awaiting a verdict from a laboratory.

An Act of Cowardice, Not Courage

A football player blindsides an opponent carrying the American flag before the game even begins. Beyond the disgraceful hit lies a bigger concern: what are we teaching young men when we excuse a lack of discipline, sportsmanship, and honor as simply getting caught up in the moment?

“Lord” Is More Than Part of the Phrase

We can be enthusiastic about what Jesus provides while resisting what He commands. “Lord and Savior” comes easily off the tongue, but it carries a claim on the decisions we would rather keep to ourselves.

Taking Others With You

Building a platform to turn people away from Christ carries a responsibility that “just asking questions” cannot erase. If you teach people that Jesus cannot be trusted, you had better understand what you’re asking them to reject.

Something Is Getting Your Worship

You can dismiss religion and still spend your life serving something that demands everything you have. Often, the clearest evidence is what you’re willing to excuse to keep it.

Jesus Didn’t Die to Put You on Probation

Every bad week becomes another trial over whether your faith is real. That’s what happens when we turn obedience into the price of belonging to Christ—and start looking to our own progress for assurance only He can give.

The Lie Needs Your Cooperation

Communism’s promises deserve to be judged alongside the voices its regimes silenced. Propaganda can teach people to defend their own oppression—and to distrust anyone who exposes it.

You Can Defend the Faith Without Acting Like God

Someone asks a difficult question about faith and gets a thoughtful pause instead of an instant reply. Hearing what we don’t know can be more honest than hearing a rehearsed speech.

Being Right Doesn’t Excuse Being Condescending

A packed church and a popular critic can both draw a crowd without giving people what they need. I share the concern about entertainment-driven ministry, but sarcasm can turn a needed correction into another performance.

Recognizing that the world will forget us can be liberating. Instead of chasing temporary accolades, we should focus on choices that have eternal significance, knowing God remembers every act of faithfulness.
