Recovering the Christian Mind

by Joe Boot

August 13, 2019

Joe Boot discusses a program for recovering a soup-to-nuts approach to thinking as a Christian in every area – not just about traditionally Christian things like devotions and apologetics.

Surrendering the Public Space

by Joe Boot

July 26, 2017 | Romans 13:4

John Stevens, National Director of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC), has written about the resignation of Tim Farron as leader of the Liberal Democrats, arguing that Christians should "advocate for a truly plural society" and be "willing to permit sexual freedom to others." Joe Boot critiques this pluralistic vision, arguing that Stevens hasn't differentiated between a crime and a sin. We should apply the Bible to all areas, not capitulate to pluralism.

Editor’s note: This article was originally published for a UKbased audience, but the implications are universally applicable and highly constructive for Christians everywhere.

by Steven Martins

Courage Under Fire
