American Missionaries Killed by Haitian Gangs
Three dead after an altercation with gang members.
Missouri state Rep. Ben Baker identified Natalie Lloyd as his daughter in a social media post where he said he and his family were heartbroken and needed prayer. “They went to Heaven together,” he said of his daughter and her husband. The Oklahoma-based missionary organization Missions in Haiti Inc. early Friday morning said that gang members... Continue Reading
Apple’s ‘Crushing’ of the Good and Beautiful Is Step One in Demanding Our Compliance
Those who insist on progress decoupled from human mediation destroy all that is good, true, and beautiful.
Younger people in particular seem to have no understanding of the reality of conflict or war and the complex calculus that needs to be done when making moral judgments about competing cultural traditions. Yet the ruling-class elites insist this is the new way and that any rebellion against it is some form of phobia, a literal... Continue Reading
And So It Begins. What Was Predicted on Assisted Dying Has Come to Pass
Despite all the current rhetoric from those who support assisted dying and the terms on which they want to bring it in, history tells us that is not where it will stay.
If you want to see how liberalism is wrecking everything, this is it writ large. Don’t think I mean “liberal” like America uses it. I mean hyper-individualist liberalism. Neoliberals, driven by nothing but economic output, salivate over this stuff. Matthew Parris said quite bluntly, it is time we realised economically useless lives should end and... Continue Reading
Solzhenitsyn at Harvard: A Graduation Speech to Remember
Soviet dissident Nobel Prize winner had prophetic words for America.
Solzhenitsyn pointed to the lack of great statesmen as evidence of cultural collapse. While there were, he said, courageous individuals worthy of respect, consider how differently greatness was defined in the past. One rightly wonders what Solzhenitsyn would think about who is called “hero” and what is called “historic” today. A few years ago, for... Continue Reading
Honorable Conduct in the “Negative World”
Crenshaw has decided that America in 2024 is analogous to Jericho in redemptive history and worse than first-century Rome.
Perhaps Crenshaw thinks Biden’s America is more of a “negative world” than Nero’s Rome and that the New Testament’s normative expectations of Christian behavior therefore do not apply. Or perhaps he thinks New Testament ethical teaching represents a kind of slave morality in our current political moment. If so, QED. The conclusion of Crenshaw’s article is,... Continue Reading
No, It’s Still Not Right
Twenty years later, you still cannot redefine marriage.
Same-sex marriage has also fueled the redefinition and imagination around how we conceive of family structure and how children are to be brought into this world. While a child with two moms or two dads may seem commonplace now, nature persists in telling us that it is unnatural. Children need moms and dads in conjoined... Continue Reading
This, Too, Could Pass: Christian Group’s Rule Keeping Beaches Closed on Sunday Mornings May End
The Sunday morning beach closures dismay some but delight others.
“I feel less comfortable because of the imposition of their religion on everybody that lives here,” Bernstein said. Referring to images of a cross on the badges people are required to purchase in order to use the beach, she said, “I’m Jewish; I don’t wear crosses.” The association did not respond to repeated requests for an...

Foster Children: The New Pawn in the Gender Wars
A foster-care regulation from the Biden administration conditions federal funds on support for a child’s transgender identity.
Emerging evidence suggests that “social transition” may interfere with the natural resolution of gender dysphoria and greatly increase the chances that a passing phase becomes the basis for lifelong and potentially harmful medical interventions. The Cass Review alludes to this possibility, emphasizing that social transition is “an active intervention because it may have significant effects on... Continue Reading
How Pop Nietzscheanism Masquerades as Christianity
Pastoral ministry goes on, day to day, year to year, whatever the political officer class, right and left, are debating.
The threat to religious liberty remains and has indeed expanded, but a new one has also emerged: the temptation to combat this by fusing Christianity with worldly forms of power and worldly ways of achieving the same. For want of a better term, it’s a kind of pop Nietzscheanism that uses the idioms of Christianity.... Continue Reading
Target Audience
A geofencing controversy highlights growing efforts to silence pro-life activism in the digital space.
It’s become much more challenging for pregnancy resource centers to advertise on Google and Yelp, with the latter even requiring consumer alerts notifying searchers that pregnancy resource centers do not provide abortions. Trudden said Heartbeat International hasn’t been able to advertise its abortion pill rescue network on Google since the platform deemed it “misinformation” in... Continue Reading
