AI Doesn’t Mimic God’s Intelligence
God’s higher intelligence comforts us in a changing world.
King Solomon tried wisdom, along with everything else a human could pursue in this world. He reported, “With much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief” (Eccl. 1:18, NIV). Having access to vast amounts of rapidly synthesized information doesn’t insulate us against suffering. Christians should neither fear LLMs nor count on them... Continue Reading
Why Louisiana Was Unwise to Mandate the Ten Commandments in Classrooms
Too many Christians are still mired in a culture war mindset.
In reality, this law is almost entirely symbolic, and a highly provocative symbolic act at that, one that will alienate non-Christians and reinforce them in every bad thing the left has said about conservative Christians wanting a theocracy. It reinforces the idea that conservative Christians are basically unwilling to live peaceably as part of the... Continue Reading
Support Drops for Same-Sex ‘Marriage’
Are Americans dropping their rainbow zeal because of a zealot takeover?
A recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute found that support for same-sex “marriage” dropped by at least two points last year, and support for “gay rights” anti-discrimination policies fell by four points. Also, opposition to businesses refusing certain services on religious grounds fell by five points. Every major media outlet that reported on these... Continue Reading
Judge Rules Montana Law Defining Sex as Only Male or Female is Unconstitutional
The judge "apparently needs a dictionary to discern the difference between a noun and a verb," a spokesman for Gov. Gianforte said.
District Court Judge Shane Vannatta struck down the 2023 law on Tuesday after a group of plaintiffs who identify as transgender, nonbinary, intersex and other identities sued, arguing the law denies legal recognition and protection to people who identify as gender-nonconforming, according to The Associated Press. A judge ruled that a Montana law which defined “sex” in... Continue Reading
A New Symbol for a Decaying Denomination
The Episcopal Church shows its true priorities with a confused and disordered Pride shield.
What are the consequences of taking away the signs and symbols of Christian faith and replacing them with those of the LGBTQ+ movement? At the very least, the old shield was dignified and the new one is, well, just vulgar. The old version welcomed the worshipper into the solemn, historic, and Biblical rhythms of morning...

The First Amendment and the Supreme Court
The court’s NRA decision gains importance.
A unanimous Supreme Court ruled that government cannot use third parties to censor, cancel, or deplatform groups with which it disagrees. The court held that the National Rifle Association (NRA) plausibly alleged that New York’s Department of Financial Services head, Maria Vullo, had unlawfully pressured banks and other financial entities into debanking and stifling the NRA’s...

Idols in Our Midst
Christ, Caesar, or self: recognizing political idolatry – Part 1
Man is a worshipper who either worships the Creator-God, or Man worships what is not God, that which Paul characterizes as creation. And, when worship is false, that is, is directed toward the creation — idolatry results. The truth is exchanged for the lie. That false theology, according to Paul, correlates with unrighteous ethical conduct,... Continue Reading
What Is Transgenderism?
We must learn to be content in God and unsatisfied in the world as we define our identity in light of Scripture alone.
If transgenderism is related to the sin of envy, then genuine repentance can produce the virtue of contentment. Jeremiah Burroughs’ The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment helps us understand how contentment is the opposite of envy. Burroughs defines “contentment” as “the inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, freely submitting to and taking pleasure in God’s... Continue Reading
Why Is Darkness Settling over Our Land, and What Can We Do?
The one task that would bring advance for the kingdom of heaven is the unwavering, relentless sharing of the good news of Christ.
Our greatest offensive weapon (the one that will be used to win the day) is Word-driven prayer. ALL kinds of prayer, at ALL times, with ALL perseverance for ALL the saints. Why is prayer so effective? Prayer brings God into the equation, enlists the resources of heaven, and does what God can do. Satan’s hosts... Continue Reading
Why We Should All Struggle to Understand the Moral Consequences of IVF
The lack of suffering does not mean there is no sadness. Or no humanity.
Widespread endorsement of IVF emboldens an industry that prioritizes profit over people, adults’ selfish desires over children’s natural rights, quick fixes over long-term women’s health solutions, desirable traits above all, motherless and fatherless children, the erasure of women in reproduction, fertility fraud, and making human existence transactional. Renowned British-American columnist Andrew Sullivan made waves this weekend when he debuted an article grappling with the moral... Continue Reading
