“A Fundamentally Decent Religion”
Atheists and agnostics begin to find value in cultural Christianity, but only authentic Christianity will save.
The rise of wokeness, the all-encompassing digital age, and the decline of Western power have forced many atheists to admit that Christianity will not, as it turns out, be replaced by the rationalist regimes they dreamed of. The West is gripped by a crisis of meaning—and atheists have nothing to offer. Dawkins himself has been... Continue Reading
Hope for Struggling Christians during Pride Month
Not all “love” is love. Freedom isn’t found in doing all we desire. God is love, and he gives definition to true human love.
You’ll certainly see more rainbows during June. When you do, remember what the rainbow really means. Long before the LGBT+ community used the rainbow to communicate their message, it belonged to God, and he was sending a different message. June is Pride Month. For some, that means nothing. For others, it means everything. And... Continue Reading
Out of the Shadows, Room to Deepen
In the absence of any objective telos of medicine or the physician’s role, the patient’s autonomous desires function as the de facto purpose of the practice.
While Goligher describes the overriding focus on personal autonomy as central to most arguments in favor of PAS-MAID, he doesn’t delve deeply enough into how this focus on autonomy shapes Western cultural imagination about what personhood actually is. In his book ‘What it Means to be Human’ legal scholar and bioethicist O. Carter Snead provides... Continue Reading
The Latest Smear against Pro-lifers
No, Texas law does not ban the removal of miscarried babies.
With the spread of anti-life propaganda, parents may increasingly become scared and confused into thinking that a D&C is the only safe approach, and pro-lifers are taking it away. This debate highlights the need for strong definitional clarity. Pro-choicers like Robinson are obfuscating with intent to smear the pro-life side by insistently using the word... Continue Reading
Celebrating Abominating?
In this month, where sin is celebrated, let us be relentless in proclaiming the need for repentance and the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Supporting the LGBTQ movement is tantamount to endorsing rebellion against God. Saying nothing is not only cowardice but a rejection of God’s good commands and character. It is a declaration that we value man’s approval over God’s precepts and laws. By promoting and celebrating these lifestyles, or even by remaining aloof and watching from a... Continue Reading
The Modern State Will Become Very Religious
Every one of the muddled ideological systems that has informed the structure of the modern State has been nothing more than a counterfeit religion.
Human beings will always worship, and that impulse to worship will always find expression at the political level. Either, then, the government will endorse and safeguard conceptions of religiosity that are chaotic and idolatrous, and thus corrosive and immoral, or it will endorse a religiosity that results in the genuine moral unity of the State’s...

Theology of Immigration
The debate overImmigration will continue among American Christians, and it should. But it will bear fruit in actionable policy only if conducted with a grateful acceptance of the homeland God has given us to steward.
Hospitality must be carefully measured out, lest the family or nation dissolve under the burden of too many guests, and those welcomed become dependent in a way that corrupts their characters. Why is the conclusion that we may (and perhaps must, given judgments of prudence) limit immigration so hard to voice in polite company? Why,... Continue Reading
COVID Wars, the State, and a Great Awakening
Rethinking Romans 13 in the light of our current situation.
“In Romans 13, Paul is arguing that the state or civil government is a biblically sanctioned institution. He is not saying how Christians are to live before or submit to that institution except that we are to not revolt against it in private revolution but are, instead, to support it and submit to it as legitimate sphere of...

Why AI Pornography Is Far More Dangerous than Yesterday’s Porn
Millions of years of man-made technological advances cannot improve what God has already designed.
A myriad of apps offers sophisticated AI conversational models that give lonely users a relationship with a pixel model: a perfect companion who is patient, kind, bears all things, believes all things, and doesn’t expect any of the same virtue in return. The great sin of Babel was that they wanted to be like God. While... Continue Reading
The Desperate Hunt for Relevance will Render You Irrelevant in the End
The census found the number of people who identified with the Church of Scotland had slumped by more than a third over the decade.
Submitting the evidence of the church’s relevance, Rev David Cameron goes on to list a whole load of things the Church of Scotland does that one can access in any number of other places. That is to say, although it may offer some worthy things, they are not uniquely worthy things that can be found... Continue Reading
