Tweets I Didn’t Send

October 3, 2020 by Michael Coughlin

ICYMI, I have been avoiding Twitter™ since mid-July. As part of a church plant (yay!) my priorities have changed (a quote on that in the body of this post). So the social media world has missed my “words of wisdom” as of late. But my avoidance of Twitter™ doesn’t necessarily imply I didn’t think of […]

Ep. 038 | Christians, Social Media, and Censorship — TAU Roundtable

June 4, 2020 by TAU Roundtable

George Alvarado and Michael Coughlin are joined by Robert Reece from Red Grace Media to talk about the more recent controversial issue of whether social media and YouTube are censoring Christians. Who is the most lenient between Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube when it comes to censorship? What is “shadow banning” and how does it affect […]

Millennial Christians Have Generally Failed The Test of Social Media (So Far)

January 30, 2020 by Justin Bullington

I certainly hope the next generation uses social media more effectively for the cause of Christ than we currently are. It’s a Trap I was scrolling through Facebook the other day, as I am unfortunately wont to do. The scrolling has gotten out of control at times (you know the feeling), so the only solution […]

You see “Ensign” Taylor lives on the Starship Excellence which, he informs us, is currently in a geosynchronous orbit above the earth while his captain […]

Brown Journalism

September 27, 2019 by Tim Bates

This past week we witnessed one of the ugliest instances of “journalism” I have ever seen. A young man from Iowa stumbled into raising over a million dollars for a children’s hospital in his home state. It’s the same hospital that overlooks the University of Iowa’s football stadium. The same hospital that gets waved to […]

I’m Sorry You Were Confused

May 22, 2019 by Tim Bates

On the daily, there is an instance where a social-justice-oriented famous “Christian” says something borderline heretical, completely asinine, or self-contradictory and then, after the backlash, tries to walk back what they said. During this walk back they try to shift blame to the receivers and accuse them of twisting words or of just not understanding […]

You Don’t Have To Enter Every Argument You’re Invited To

February 16, 2018 by Michael Coughlin

Everyone is made in God’s Image Everyone you meet is made in the image of God. Thus, each person you encounter has a level of dignity because of his or her Creator, and you are responsible to treat folks with respect as a consequence of this fact. Individual people have suppressed the truth of God […]

Time to Cut the 20 Minute Sermon

Our pastor had recently left for another church and I was taking over a lot of the preaching duties in our local congregation. One afternoon the phone rang in my Youth Pastor’s study. The conversation went something like this: “Hello?” A lady from our church on the other line: “Yes, I want to talk to […]

Man’s Design is for Dependence

We’ve been walking through Genesis 1-11 in our Sunday morning sermon series at Perryville Second Baptist Church. I’d like to highlight one of the things we’ve discovered together as we’ve been studying these verses together. Man is designed to be dependent on God — not just sinful man, but from the very beginning. Adam and […]

Psalm 119:61-64 — Companionship

The Cords of the Wicked Psalms 119:61 Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law. We have seen the psalmist proclaim the excellencies of loving God’s law even in the midst of trouble (Psalm 119:23). Now we find language reminiscent of Psalm 18. You see the same pattern here. […]

How I Became a Reformed Baptist – Part 3

If you haven’t read part 1 and 2 yet, you can do so here, and here. When my wife, son, and I moved to Taylorsville, KY, we were ready to conquer the world. The church there loved us well, and we made lasting friendships. My other mission that summer began once I discovered Southern Seminary […]

What Will it Cost You: STTA!

Something To Think About! Being a TAU writer has offered me a view of a process with which I have no personal experience: the sale of a Christian book. Allen Nelson’s From Death to Life is available on ThingsAbove.Us, and it was always my impression that when a man sold a book, “he basically got […]

Received Into the Number: A Theology of Adoption Part II – Adoption in the Old Testament

In this series, we are looking at what God’s Word says about adoption as both an earthly call to care for orphans and as a picture of how He saves undeserving sinners in need of a right relationship with Him. You can read Part I here. In this article, we will see how God’s concern […]
