We Christians have freedom not to vote for anyone, but we do not have freedom to vote for anyone. We Christians have the freedom not to vote for pro-life politicians like Donald Trump, but we do not have freedom to vote for pro-abortion politicians like Joe Biden.    If a pregnant woman promised to you...

Too many who would not qualify to serve as deacons or elders in the church by any biblical standard nevertheless hold positions of leadership and influence in the Evangelical Movement. That is evident from wave after wave of moral scandals that have rocked the movement for the past forty years. It is also reflected in the flamboyant... Continue Reading

In thinking of the future of our children and grandchildren, we must ask if a political movement that integrates into its system without difficulty the wholesale slaughter of babies can be represented as a “biblically-shaped ethic.” Abortion is not an efficient solution to unwanted pregnancy. This ethic is shaped by the rejection of God the... Continue Reading

Thirty percent of women aged 25 and under have no interest in sex with men. If that does not alarm you as a religious traditionalist or conservative, then you might actually be dead. We absolutely must form right now — not tomorrow, right now — communities that socialize our children into the goodness of marriage and family. The... Continue Reading

“What I tried to do as best I can, by the grace of God, is to be faithful and obedient to that which I believe the Lord has called me to, even though it sometimes can be very difficult, and sometimes it’s not politically correct,” Love said.   [Episcopal News Service] The Rt.

And that brings us to America in November 2020 where the context is political, immense power is at stake, the division is highly partisan, and one side or the other is going to suffer a crushing loss. Meanwhile, both major parties are convinced the other is willing to cheat and both candidates have preemptively indicated... Continue Reading

In an attempt to test just how rigorous scientific research is, some researchers have undertaken the task of replicating research that’s been published in a whole range of fields. And as more and more of those attempted replications have come back, the results have been striking — it is not uncommon to find that many,... Continue Reading

The triumph of the Critical Theory narrative over facts, history, and Constitutional Protections is widespread. I searched “white supremacy” and “linear thinking” (another bogeyman for Critical Theory) and a number of .gov sites came up. This is the stuff that the president’s recent executive order was intended to remove but it may well be that... Continue Reading

God can sanctify us through differences of political opinion. We see candidates differently due to age; spiritual maturity; our time of salvation; our family upbringing and geographic location. Here we can grow in Romans 15:7: “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you.” We are to accept one another or receive one another and... Continue Reading
