World Bank Chief: COVID May Have Pushed 100M Into Extreme Poverty
World Bank Chief Economist Carmen Reinhart called the economic crisis a "pandemic depression."
The Washington-based development lender previously estimated that 60 million people would fall into extreme poverty because of COVID-19, but the new estimate puts the deterioration at 70 million to 100 million, and he said “that number could go higher” if the pandemic worsens or drags on. WASHINGTON – The coronavirus pandemic may have driven... Continue Reading
The University as the Woke Mission Field: A Dissident Women’s Studies Ph.D. Speaks Out
Critical Social Justice ideology is not only intellectually vacuous; it is downright dangerous.
I realized that Critical Social Justice ideology is not only intellectually vacuous; it is downright dangerous, and that the reason it has captivated so many minds is not because of the strength of its ideas, but because it has succeeded in silencing more reasonable and time-tested principles….If we want to understand why this ideology is...

A Parable from the Dead
The church needs to be a place where the light exposes the darkness.
In death, Ravi Zacharias bears his deserved shame. What that means only the Judge of all the earth knows and He will do right (Genesis 18:25). But let every church and congregation take heed unless He who holds the seven stars in His hand should remove the lampstand from its place. Evangelicalism received crushing... Continue Reading
Six Ontario Church Elders Charged With Exceeding Worship Limits, Face $10K Fines
"It is a dark day for Waterloo Region and Ontario.”
The elders of Trinity Bible Chapel are not the only religious leaders in Ontario to have faced similar charges. However, the elders noted, “to our knowledge, this is the first time that each and every member of an entire elders board has been charged for gathering a church to worship.” Six elders of a...

Some Trust In Chariots
The way of the worldly is to put their trust in worldly strength.
Where is your hope in times of trouble? During the current crisis, most Americans have turned to the wisdom of the government for a solution to their fears. The freedom loving people of America have sold a large measure of their constitutional and unalienable birthrights, among them Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, to... Continue Reading
On Following Mediocre Leaders
God rules his world through the rule of others; he exercises his authority through the authority he delegates to human beings.
We must see and understand that it is not the skill of the leaders that gives them the right to call us to follow them. It’s not their ability. Not their track record. It’s their position. Their authority is intrinsic to their position. And where there is authority, there is to be submission; where there... Continue Reading
A Woke Church is Doomed to Fail
Christianity has stood the test of time, but a church that seeks to appease the zeitgeist of the time, rather than stick to its principles, will not.
The first thing the church should do is to stop excusing its existence and appreciate its own importance and achievements. Christianity has been instrumental in forging the culture of Western civilisations. Most of the world’s great universities were founded by Christians; the church built up the welfare state long before governments took on that responsibility;... Continue Reading
The Salt That Has Lost Its Savor: The Woke Church and the Undoing of America
A superficial, self-righteous, good-for-nothing pietism that prefers tone to truth and style to substance has displaced authentic Christianity in many of the roughly four hundred thousand churches in America.
This doctrinal malpractice has given us a generation of men, Christian and otherwise, who are what Lewis called “men without chests.”….They are the sort who will, upon reading this article, take great offense at what I have written here and waste no time in letting me know it, but are not particularly offended by the...

Psychopathy and the Origins of Totalitarianism
Pseudo-realities are constructed by linguistically capable manipulators who wish to control other people.
The way resistance—just plain resistance—works is by restoring to the normal person the epistemic and moral authority necessary to resist the ideologue’s illegitimate demands to participate in a pseudo-real fraud. That is, it restores confidence in normality to the normal. No one feels ashamed of resisting a con, whatever form it takes, and this is... Continue Reading
How To Be A Racist
Racist policies against black Americans are just ghosts summoned by antiracists to scare black people and to shame white people into submission.
Racist policies have become so nonexistent in America today, antiracists like Ibram X. Kendi are forced to present disparities as the most damning evidence of discrimination today. But that isn’t damning evidence against racism, it’s damning evidence against antiracism. The abolitionists and civil rights leaders didn’t need calculators to present evidence of racial discrimination. ... Continue Reading
