We live in a cosmic war zone. If we do not allow this fact a prominent place in our spiritual calculation, we will play right into Satan's hands.

The overarching social vision of the West, embraced by nearly all of its elites, springs from the revisionist Marxism of Antonio Gramsci and Herbert Marcuse. It explicitly advocates the destruction of Christian culture and its replacement with egalitarian culture — leveling all moral hierarchies except the privileged hierarchy of state-enforced secularism and/or paganism.

If you what to know what Christian culture is, why we need it, and how to create it, listen to this.

If you want to change your life, family, church, and nation, eliciting God's approval and reformation and revival, pray like Daniel.

The life-giving sexual worldview of the Bible versus the death-dealing sexual worldview of modernity. They are antithetical.

Noah was favored by God because he walked with God, he trusted God, and he obeyed God. God did not favor Noah because he was like the ungodly world, but precisely because he was different. Sons and daughters of the Reformation must learn: God blesses obedience.

Christianity shaped Western society to such a degree that it's impossible to understand it without the Faith, which imparted our greatest cultural blessings. Ours is not a post-Christian world. It is a post-Christendom world. That's what we must revive.

Beware of complicating the biblical picture of obedience. Obedience isn't always easy, but it's never hard to understand.

While there are reasons for pessimism in our present cultural climate, realism demands optimism.

The Christian's goal, by the power of the Spirit, is to destabilize, de-legitimize, and deconstruct the abnormal world and reassert the normal world.

As long as you accept the world as it is, you'll never be a mighty man or woman of prayer. Godly prayer warriors never assume that the status quo in a sinful world is the will of God. They pray to change it.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is God's good news calculated to overwhelm the world in very public ways. It is not simply a plan to "go to heaven" but to redeem the earth. A lecture delivered to Christian Concern in London, England.

Two objectives of consistently reasoning rebels are to (a) create an entire conceptual world in competition with the real (God's) world and (2) intimidate Christians into thinking that the sinners' fake world is the real world.

God is jealous, and he won't allow humans to share their submission to his authority, their affection to him, and the world's allegiance to him.

Christians must abandon their spiritual somnolence and dead orthodoxy and rouse themselves to hold onto God if they are to expect any church or cultural reformation.

Crucial to the Christian worldview is common grace, God's kindness toward and gifts to unbelievers, and a critical means of preserving continuity in history to expand his Kingdom.

Two mostly competing views of redemption have emerged among conservatives. The one we embrace shapes our entire outlook on life and eternity.

You can't get the Gospel right if you get the family wrong.

Pietism, Apocalypticism, and Retreatism — these are bad church ideas that are responsible for much of the political apostasy baptizing our present society.

A wide-ranging interview by Allison Burr from "Cultivating the Kingdom" on the meaning of the Gospel, the role of Christian education, the Christianity of the American Founders, the philosophical "inward turn" of existentialism, expectation in prayer, and much, much more.
