By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “God’s economy requires constant diligence from his followers. If our life’s work for Christ’s sake is always to impact others positively, then we must be careful, lest a ‘little folly’ torpedoes what we’ve done. Once I knew a mighty man of God who had a stellar resume of church […]
Cartoons
Confusing Department of Chaos
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “We are learning so much in our times. We thought we had seen every conceivable excuse for liberty to decline and power to rise. Financial crisis, terrorism, inequality, injustice, discrimination, microaggression, cultural appropriation, globalism; you name it, we’ve lived it. Every time there is a crisis, we are told […]
Yoga for Seniors
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “I know I need to lose some pounds. I realized it recently when I went to play hide and seek with the grandchildren, and unfortunately, discovered I could only play seek. But let me say something about this, and it’s not an excuse for unhealthy living. I think we […]
Military Wokeness
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “[T]he creeping influence of CRT on the military jeopardizes the health and strength of the armed forces. Introducing CRT’s racial division and resentment will erode camaraderie. CRT will undermine the instrumental unity that is essential for the U.S. military to successfully protect our national interests. But CRT theorists are […]
God’s Plan
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “God’s sovereignty is of great comfort to me. I mean tremendous comfort. As director of a state-wide Christian public policy organization, watching lawmakers ignore the eternal principles of God’s word, trusting in their own understanding, and at times even knowingly wielding their influence in nefarious and corrupt ways, has […]
Guard Your Heart
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “Happy is that young man [young woman] whose heart is never defiled with vice! There is no way of being kept from impurity except by giving up the heart to the holy Lord…the most pure-minded are surrounded with innumerable temptations; and many there are that slip with their feet […]
The Alternative to Critical Race Theory
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “The dark parts of our history should be taught in schools, but it should be taught along with how we overcame those things like slavery and Jim Crow. CRT is not about equality; CRT is about teaching students that because of the color of your skin you are either […]
Progressive Churches Don’t Progress
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “When people give up convictions and think it doesn’t matter what you believe just so you get together, then the next step is to throw away faith in the Bible as the Word of God, faith in the blood of Jesus Christ as essential to atone for man’s sin, […]
The Great Church Surrender
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “The denial of His [Christ’s] name is the increasing apostasy around us on every hand. Those who have not denied His name refuse all fellowship with this God-dishonoring condition of things. Christ is to them more precious than all else; even for the sake of service, they refuse to […]
The Sufferings of this Present Time
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “Christ our Lord suffered. If we suffer for the same reasons he suffered, which all true Christians at some point in their lives do, then it confirms our sonship. I hear a lot of people say they accepted Christ on this date and at this time as proof of […]
