Princeton Professor Discusses Free Speech
The dangers modern universities face from intellectual homogeneity.
George gave multiple examples of the negative effects of intellectual homogeneity in his own experience as an academic at Princeton. George cited a story a liberal colleague of his shared with him, in which a faculty selection committee sought to disqualify a candidate based on his views on abortion, as a particularly flagrant violation of...

NASA Banning ‘Jesus,’ Censoring Christian Employees’ Religious Speech, Workers Claim
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, has been accused of censoring religious speech
“NASA JSC’s censoring of the club’s religious viewpoint is a violation of federal law and the First Amendment,” stated the demand letter. “Any assertions by NASA JSC that allowing the JSC Praise and Worship Club to use the name ‘Jesus’ in the club’s advertisements violates the Establishment Clause have been repeatedly rejected by the Supreme...

Conscripted for Life, Not War: Why the Draft is Wrong for Women
I'm having a hard time equating women’s progress with conscripting them to fight wars
“Strength is a garment women ought to wear. The kind of strength that stretches out its arms to support the poor, to feed hungry souls, to grow and harvest all that God has given you. It is a strength that nurtures life, not war.” I watched the latest Republican Presidential debate with usual dutifulness.... Continue Reading
Liberal Intolerance Is On The Rise On America’s College Campuses
Today’s students are indeed both more left wing and more openly hostile to free speech than earlier generations of collegians.
Heck, some students are trying to muzzle liberal and moderate viewpoints. I’m hardly an arch-conservative, and whenever I write things that college students disagree with, I get a lot of email demanding retraction, recantation, apology, prostration. Some younger readers — not all that much younger than I, mind you — have accused my writing of... Continue Reading
CMP’s Daleiden Unabashed By Legal Challenges
In briefing with his attorneys, pro-life activist updates supporters on cases filed against him
On Aug. 21, overturning an earlier emergency injunction, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge allowed CMP to release undercover footage of Daleiden’s meeting with representatives from fetal tissue broker StemExpress.

Worldview, Wisdom, and Witness
What is the Christian worldview and what does it mean for us to faithfully manifest it?
“God has a plan and purpose for the world, but his intentions for the world aren’t in conflict with his loving provision for his creation. Indeed, God provides for us precisely through pursuing his plans and purposes.” What is the Christian worldview and what does it mean for us to faithfully manifest our worldview... Continue Reading
The Perfect Religious President
The perfect religious president should have an active faith that is "detached"
“The perfect religious president speaks compellingly about the public issues that matter most to people of faith. For example, the highlight of Carly Fiorina’s campaign was her passionate condemnation of Planned Parenthood for what was revealed in the expose videos.” There are so many discussions swirling around evangelicals’ best choice for president that it...

Children Burned Alive In Boko Haram Attack
Dozens slaughtered in four days of brutal attacks by the Islamist terror group in northern Nigeria
Militants from the Islamist terror group spent four days brutalizing villages across northern Nigeria, barbarically undermining the Nigerian government’s claims it has defeated Boko Haram. By Sunday afternoon, Nigerian workers had collected 86 bodies from Dalori village, some three miles from the city of Maiduguri. Boko Haram terrorists invaded the Muslim village on Saturday night,...

We Will Never Let Our Daughters Die for Us
If someone has to die in battle, it won’t be our daughters. As men of God, it will be us.
Unlike a secular, gender-blurring culture, we honor women and view them in the highest regard. As complementarians, we are committed to the biblical truths that men and women are completely equal in dignity, value, worth, and honor; however, men and women are different in role and function. This–warfare–is a key arena in which we see... Continue Reading
Hostages to Homogeny: Why I’m Done with “Racial Reconciliation”
A rebuke to some Evangelicals' indifference and insincerity towards race relations
“Amidst the public handshakes and hugs, the coffee and conferences, there is a platforming of a type of humility that isn’t changing much of anything. I’m not a nationally known preacher or author, but in many ways I’ve found it more helpful to be a pastor on the ground level. What I can do at... Continue Reading
