Bill Muehlenberg gives us tremendous insight as to whether Christians could act and associate with those who would not profess faith in Christ. His article debunks this idea and gives some positive reasons why at times we must form co-belligerency.
On Co-belligerency
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
"Simply defined, co-belligerency is working with someone who you would normally not associate with, or might even be at war with, as the term implies. You may be quite opposed to another person’s beliefs, or creeds, or stances, but you may nonetheless work together with him on a limited, temporary objective.

Article by Cameron Spink
Recent news, particularly today, has emphasised our sexual culture to the extreme.
First there is Example A. Our protagonist is so sex-starved that he has re-created his ex-girlfriend … as a life-sized sex doll. And it only costs $18,000. Then there is Anna Blackburn. She has been ordered to pay a former student $120,293 after she was found to have engaged in a “sexual escapade” with him.
Perhaps the most disturbing example of our sexual culture is yesterday’s story regarding the Canadian mounties. Four of them allegedly watched two female prisoners have consensual sex on the CCTV cameras. They waited seven minutes before intervening. This voyeurism from members of society in positions of authority is alarming and condemning of our culture.

Bill Muehlenberg gives us some thoughts regarding the origins of morality; whether one should enforce morals upon another and how ethics should affect politics.
On Legislating Morality
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
The issue of morality and its legislation is one which is often rather carelessly considered. Secular humanists for example routinely exhibit much fuzzy thinking on this issue. Sadly however, believers can also have some rather cloudy thinking about this important topic.

Relevant Magazine offers some excellent advice for those who find it a chore to read their Bibles and continue to develop a relationship with God. Have a read, and be challenged!
How to Get Out of A Devotional Rut
Relevant Magazine (Matt Ward), 12th August 2010
"Why do we so often forget the relationship that inspires our Bible reading?
Maybe you can relate … you wake up with barely enough time to get yourself ready and after downing your second cup of coffee and glancing at something that may resemble breakfast, your eyes cross your Bible. It’s been lying there, taunting you, for days now. Unmoved. Unread. Why? It wasn’t always like this. What happened?
Might I suggest you are experiencing something that scores of Christians have walked through, often multiple times throughout their lives? This wave-like pattern of thirst for Scripture coupled with the dry rut of avoidance. No one likes ruts—dirt roads or spiritual, they are all disdained.

Bill Muehlenberg challenges us to consider the way we are taught from our pastor. He states there should be much more expository preaching (i.e.concentration upon a text) and less topical preaching (i.e. concentrating on an idea). For young adults and growing Christians it is important to consider how we are receiving God's Word.
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
"This article is somewhat restrictive. First, it is obviously for believers only. But second, most believers may not even be aware of what expository preaching is. This is because sadly most contemporary churches do not offer regular expository preaching.
I would guess that perhaps 95 per cent of churches (and here I refer to Bible-believing evangelical churches) do not engage in such preaching. Most simply offer sermons on various issues or topics. This is known as topical preaching. In contrast to expository preaching, where the text is central, in topical preaching a particular theme is emphasised.

Bill Muehlenberg writes a compelling article about the dangers of post-modernism especially within the University sphere. He criticises and challenges the idea of each persons reality being "true" as opposed to the absolute truth of the Bible.
When Truth Disappears
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
Ideas have consequences and bad ideas have bad consequences. Unfortunately in the secular West, the rejection of God – which was meant to bring freedom – has simply resulted in bondage: bondage to bad ideas, bad thinking and bad worldviews.
