Sunday night, President Trump posted a meme on Truth Social that has offended even some of his most ardent Christian supporters. It was so bad that by early Monday afternoon, it had been removed. Whether the president will issue an apology alongside the removal remains to be seen, but as of late Monday afternoon, no apology has been forthcoming. He did, however, offer brief remarks admitting that he posted the picture himself but only because he thought it made him look like a “doctor.” [Click here to read the rest of the column at the WORLD magazine website.] I also recorded an audio version of the column for “The WORLD and Everything in It”…

Confronting Annihilationism on Ray Comfort’s Podcast
I recently travelled to Los Angeles to record a two-hour conversation with Ray Comfort, Mark Spence, and E.Z. Zwayne about the doctrine of Hell and annihilationism. We get pretty deep in the weeds on this one, but it was definitely necessary to do so. I hope you’ll give it a listen and understand why the vast majority of believers throughout the entire history of the Christian church have embraced the biblical doctrine of the eternal conscious torment of the damned. You can watch the video below, or you can listen to the Apple and Spotify podcast versions beneath the video.

Resurrection Hymn
O Jesus, Savior of my life, My hope, my joy, my sacrifice, I’ve searched and found no other one Who loves me more than you have done. So I denounce my lingering sin Whose power You have broke within My ever weak and faithless frame. Its vigor’s crushed in Jesus name. For your death did at once proclaim, The Godhead’s glory and my shame. And you did seize my cup of guilt And drank all that the chalice spilled. No condemnation now I dread Because you went for me instead To bear the curse and wrath and rage, To pay the debt I would have paid. Yet your work finished…

The Innermost Meaning of the Cross
“But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.” -Isaiah 53:10 “God put [Christ] forward as a propitiation in His blood through faith, in order to demonstrate His righteousness.” -Romans 3:25 “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us– for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.’” -Galatians 3:13 “It is those who cannot come to terms with any concept of the wrath of God…

Nate Magloughlin (1976-2026)
A few weeks ago, my old friend Nate posted on his Caring Bridge site that he was going into hospice. I’ve known Nate for about 25 years, all the way back to our days as students at Southern Seminary. Our wives were both singers and became sweet friends on the worship team at our church. Our roads have long since taken us in different directions–mine to professoring and pastoring in Louisville, Ky and his to being pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Amarillo, TX for nearly 20 years. But over these last three years, he’s been in an all-out fist fight with advanced stage cancer. On March 6, he posted…

Must-See Interview with Senator Ben Sasse
I can’t even begin to express what Ben Sasse’s testimony has meant to me since announcing his cancer diagnosis in December. He is absolutely defiant in his suffering, trusting Christ, and taunting death. Where does this confidence come from? He’s a living, breathing testament to the power of God in the gospel. Hallelujah. He also reflects on his life and what he would do differently. He is pointing us to the permanent things. Thank you, Senator Sasse. Watch all of this, but especially the last 20 minutes or so.

The Desecration of Cities Church
I was mad as a hornet when I saw what happened this morning to Cities Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in St. Paul, Minnesota. For those of you who haven’t seen the news, a group of leftist radicals shut down Cities Church’s worship service by shouting down the pastor, marching around the sanctuary yelling protests against ICE, and haranguing the men, women, and children who were gathered for worship. For a first person account of what happened, see the video below which was posted by one of the protesters. Please note the vile things coming out of the protester’s mouth and the terrified child being comforted by his father at…
