The Presbyterian Church of America. Not to be confused with the ultra-liberal PCUSA.

  • The Problem With Categories

  • 09/05/2023

As we engage in political discourse among our own camps, we find ourselves automatically shifting from one category to another. A hearty discussion on “political power” would be incredibly productive among Right-wing friends who understand the nature and purpose of such a thing. Outside of these like-minded friends, the discussion devolves very quickly. The Right […]

  • Tennessee “Faith Leaders” – Letter To Legislators

  • 07/12/2023

This is a copy of the letter sent by “faith leaders” to the TN governor and legislature. Sent a month after the transgender murderer claimed the lives of 6 innocent people at Covenant School, the letter urges legislators to implement “red flag” laws. While the vast majority of the signatures are from trans and murder-affirming […]

  • Greg Johnson In His Own Words

  • 02/20/2023

If you are unfamiliar with the name of Greg Johnson, I envy you. The man is primarily known for his pastoral role in the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America), where he introduced the concept of a “Side B Christianity.” The Side B label is given to those who would argue that being a Christian and […]

  • Politics and Heretics

  • 10/01/2022

The real question this post looks to answer, is the question of politics. Why is federal vision theology still talked about 20 years later? If the PCA, OPC, URC, RPCUS, and the RCUS all claim that this theology is contrary to reformed teaching, shouldn’t that have been the end of it? Why does it continue to be an issue today?

  • Orientation and Illness

  • 09/19/2022

In May 2020, the PCA released a report addressing human sexuality. This report addressed numerous topics, including marriage, concupiscence, and especially homosexuality. This report was resoundingly requested after a PCA church co-hosted a conference with questionable teachings on sexuality and identity. One of the biggest questions this Presbyterian denomination has been asking since then has […]

  • The Cultural Handicap

  • 08/25/2022

One of the biggest issues facing the church today is cultural engagement. How should the church engage the culture around it? What does being the “light of the world” mean (Matt 5:14)? These questions are asked on a personal and corporate level. How can I, as a Christian, witness to the world around me? How […]

  • Price of Unity

  • 08/15/2022

I have recently come to find out that the PCA has a scholarship fund for men to seek out ordination. Or men who aren’t a candidate for ordination, but want a scholarship. Or men looking to participate in the General Assembly. Here’s the catch. You can’t be white. Hate to break it to you, but […]

  • Commitments and Committees

  • 06/04/2022

The PCA has a wonderful habit of asking questions nobody asked. As someone who has only recently started to dig through the history of this denomination, I have found myself viewing reports and statements on questions I would never have dreamed to ask. Today, I will be briefly looking at the Ad Interim Study Committee […]
