A Covid Apology to America, on Behalf of the Evangelical Church
Believers should have found a different spirit—a spirit of faith and trust and courage. A spirit of freedom and peace.
True Christianity offers you something different than the world does, but true Christianity will cost you. And there will be consequences. What you saw from most of the professing church was a fearful and cowardly display of the fear of man and the love of this world. DC Talk’s 1995 hit “What If I Stumble?”... Continue Reading
What Would A Political Backlash To The Sexual Revolution Look Like? Maybe Like This Country
If there is to be a backlash to the cultural revolution that has conquered the West, what might it look like, politically speaking? Like the Viktor Orbán agenda in Hungary?
It is too early to tell whether Orbán’s agenda will ultimately be successful—but it is indisputably true that he is one of the only conservative leaders who is actually attempting to fight back in any significant way. He is funding conservative institutions, working to spread conservative ideas, fighting to keep LGBT propaganda away from children,... Continue Reading
Parents Have The Right To Be Vocal
Parents are vocally challenging curricula related to race issues in the K-12 schools of their children and on their school boards, especially dealing with Critical Race Theory.
Some schools, though, are already promoting sexual or gender issues—issues that are controversial based on parental and religious beliefs. Likewise, many race-oriented issues are especially controversial. Those influenced by Critical Race Theory focus heavily on Black and White populations even though the United States may be the most racially diverse of all nations. Around... Continue Reading
Randomness is Not a Scientific Explanation
We can never know if anything is truly random.
Randomness can never be a scientific explanation, since we can never know that something is random. At best, saying something is random is shorthand for “we don’t know.” So, when scientists state the origin of something in our universe is random, they do not know the origin. It is common in the sciences to... Continue Reading
What Is Wrong With Gay Christianity? What Is Side A and Side B Anyway?
Side A and Side B both support the idea that sexual orientation is an accurate category of personhood, and therefore they both are outside the bounds of biblical teaching.
We must maintain that we who repent and believe stand in robes of righteousness as beloved sons and daughters of God, even as we do daily battle with any and all sexual lust and unbiblical desire that claims our affections. We are not our sin, and we ought never to let it define us. ... Continue Reading
How Politics has Replaced Religion in America
As religion has declined, political ideology has intensified, society has fragmented, and cultural common ground has disintegrated.
We must persuade our fellow citizens to return to the understanding that moral order is framed in relation to creation order, that God ordains political authority, that law and justice are rooted in an objective moral order founded by God. That truth is objective and rooted in God’s revelation of himself. America has always... Continue Reading
How the West Lost God
The overwhelming cause of secularization in the West has been government control of education.
Whether we are urban or rural, childless or fecund, conservative or liberal in our outlook, well-credentialed or not, the crucial question, empirically as well as morally, is this: What will we teach our children to associate with the true, the good, and the beautiful during their earliest and most impressionable years? The fate of our... Continue Reading
Woke or Awakened
Guinness provides an alternative vision for addressing society’s ills.
The biblical way addresses truth to power, calling for repentance that leads to confession, leading to forgiveness, which leads to reconciliation and restoration. It’s an incredible difference from cultural Marxism. This is a tailor made kairos moment for Christians, who with confidence, step out and show how the answers of the Gospel address freedom, justice,... Continue Reading
Why Antiracism Zealots Are Trying To Silence Black Voices Like Mine
I’m being stifled not because of the religion I practice but because of one I reject: the religion of antiracism, which is now the established church of academia, government, the media and business.
Antiracism and the “woke” priesthood are targeting not merely the “wrong” black voices. They are coming for all of us. You might acquiesce to their demands today, but they will continue to demand more and more of you. Your official statements will not be remorseful enough. Your reparations packages will not be big enough. Your... Continue Reading
Ten Things I Learned from the Pandemic
Democracy is a luxury good that depends on prosperity. The minute that prosperity is threatened, democracy collapses into dictatorship.
Governments will use any excuse to seize emergency power, and they will always try to hold on to it even when the justification for seizing it has passed. I learned the following ten lessons about democratic society from the pandemic. Some of these things I already knew in an abstract way from historical study... Continue Reading
