A Pastoral Statement Regarding Human Sexuality in Our Contemporary World
Canada passed a law which bans all forms of so-called “conversion therapy,” which makes illegal any counseling that seeks to change or repress any person’s sexual behavior or identity.
While certain forms of so-called “conversion therapy” are clearly, unquestionably to be denounced by the Christian, Canada’s new law intentionally undercuts every biblical mooring for even defining sexuality and gender. Churches in the United States have been called upon this Sunday to stand with our brothers and sisters in Canada whose faithfulness to the Scriptures... Continue Reading
The 4 Horsemen of the Philosophical Apocalypse
Four intellectual trends that had been absolutely disastrous for modern education.
“If the object of education is the improvement of men, then any system of education that is without values is a contradiction in terms. A system that seeks bad values is bad. A system that denies the existence of values denies the possibility of education. Relativism, scientism, skepticism, and anti-intellectualism, the four horsemen of the... Continue Reading
Should We Prepare Our Daughters to Register for the Military Draft?
The Supreme Court is expected to hear a case arguing that excluding women from draft registration is discriminatory.
Even without the draft, congregation leaders already encounter young women considering the military who need counsel since women are now sent into combat. Still, few congregation leaders with whom I have spoken either know the main points in biblical studies about women and the military, or that everyone who enlists agrees to go into combat....

Just a Honeymoon Salad, Please!
It may be that we've got a word salad in front of us, but that's because we only want a honeymoon salad—lettuce alone!
The language present is clear enough to address the specific problems brought about by the infestation of Side B/Revoice heterodoxy. Even more, even to the degree that there is a hanging “etc.” left over, this is a factor, not of poor wordsmithing, but of the nature of equivocation that necessitates this overture. Regarding the...

Shall We Cancel the Theologians?
Dealing with the sins of men like Luther and Edwards.
Contemporary Christians need to remember that our hands are not so clean. Anyone who uses a computer or smartphone to decry racism or call for reparations for American slavery can only do so because of contemporary slave labor in China. Does the fact that others own the slaves who make the goods we buy make... Continue Reading
I’m a Public School Teacher. The Kids Aren’t Alright.
My students were taught to think of themselves as vectors of disease. This has fundamentally altered their understanding of themselves.
It’s time for a return to normal life and put an end to the bureaucratic policies that aren’t making society safer, but are sacrificing our children’s mental, emotional, and physical health. I am proud to be a teacher. I’ve worked in the Canadian public school system for the past 15 years, mostly at the... Continue Reading
We Need Reformation in 2022
In times of acute persecution, when the gospel is at stake, when the church is on the ropes, we must stand up and fight for costly discipleship.
If we wish to attract and grow genuine disciples, we must offer much more than inspiring civil religion, spiritual pep rallies, and pageantry. We must demonstrate a kind of faith known not for power and “success” but for weakness; scandalous not for hypocrisy but for hardship. The church stands in need of reformation once...

Jordan Peterson: Why I Am No Longer a Tenured Professor at the University of Toronto
The appalling ideology of diversity, inclusion, and equity is demolishing education and business.
We are now at the point where race, ethnicity, “gender,” or sexual preference is first, accepted as the fundamental characteristic defining each person (just as the radical leftists were hoping) and second, is now treated as the most important qualification for study, research and employment. I recently resigned from my position as full tenured... Continue Reading
The Three Worlds of Evangelicalism
Where once there was a culture war between Christianity and secular society, today there is a culture war within evangelicalism itself.
Evangelicalism has successfully adapted to new media, with various groups creating huge online and social media followings. It has adapted to the rise and fall of evangelistic strategies such as revivals and street preaching. Christians may indeed be a declining and unpopular moral minority, but that is no reason to assume that evangelicalism’s day is... Continue Reading
“Presbyleaks” From a Business Analysis Perspective
Using Business Analysis to assess “Presbyleaks,” the release of the National Partnership documents.
From a BA perspective, if the NP asked about how to go forward, I would advise it to publish a purpose and mission statement compatible with PCA officer vows, accept all such within the PCA who desire to participate in order to grow in their understanding of PCA polity and practices, and do away with...
