How Religion Could Break Up Democrats’ Trusty Voting Blocs
David French’s friends on the left could, by their border lawlessness, facilitate his worst nightmare, MAGA success at the polls.
I’m not saying that if you love God, you have to vote Republican. I am saying that God’s Ten Commandments should inform our votings for and our votings against. And too bad for “progressives” if they continue to forget and scorn the Lord’s bedrock guidance. As the old saying goes, the Word of God is... Continue Reading
Some Sense and Sanity on Slavery
Clear thinking on this troubling reality.
“You, dear reader, are no more responsible for slavery than German millennials are for the Holocaust. Understand how it works? To suggest, as some overpaid politicians now do, that Western people today are somehow tainted by the enslavement of Africans by some of their ancestors, is an idea so extraordinarily backward that even the Old...

Abortion and America’s Final Christian Generation
What U.S. pro-lifers can learn from their European counterparts.
Overturning Roe v. Wade was a monumental achievement, one legions of pro-life activists spent half a century marching and praying for. It would not have happened had Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in 2016. Pro-lifers should be grateful for what Trump did for us, but also accept that the post-Roe era and the post-Christian era now combine to... Continue Reading
Wars and Rumors of Wars
Christ reminds us to not be alarmed, but to stay steadfast in Him.
Despite how common war is, we still experience it as abnormal. Sure, there is more than a bit of normalization that can occur after long periods of unrest and conflict, but the fact that we recoil at violence, resist war as much as we do, and strive for peace says something else as well. The... Continue Reading
A Change of Age
America and the West stand at a civilizational inflection point.
If we are seeking to equip our children in kingdom service, then our children will need to be adequately equipped for the kinds of battles that they are going to be facing. We owe it to our children to take these matters seriously. We may be dead before the full weight of these shifts are felt... Continue Reading
Political Discussions in Christian Forums
Do we wish our faith to be a refuge from worldly woe? If yes, then can we agree that it is best to keep it free of non-essential things about which we can and will disagree?
Another problem with dragging politics into Christian forums is its effect on other believers. If political claim A is presented in Christian forum B, it implies that A is the Christian position. Other believers who disagree are implied to be anti- or unchristian for differing, put in the difficult position of arguing against the implied... Continue Reading
Are Right-Wing Christians Guilty of “Political Idolatry?”
There seem to be essentially three categories of Christians in the American Evangelical church at the moment.
The Woke-Right crowd commits idolatry as they do the bidding of those aligned with the Left. Unlike the vague slanderous charge of political idolatry to those on their right, those in the Biblicist category can clearly define the idolatrous participation of those to their Left. The secular ideology of Social Justice can and has been... Continue Reading
The Olympics as Utopian Theater
It’s all a show in the city of man.
The Olympics are an example of what Augustine called the city of man. A city of man is self-serving and, ultimately, doomed to fall away. In our world, progressives claim to promote justice but make common cause with genocide in the name of intersectionality. Many conservatives are quick to take on a religious mantle when...

Pro-Natalism Is Not Enough
To rightly view and encourage childbearing, we must honor and receive children as gifts, regardless of their abilities or health.
Technocratic pro-natalists often desire to create a certain kind of a child: a healthy child, a smart child, or a “wanted” child. Indeed, with the expansion of embryonic genetic selection technology and the potential of artificial wombs or in vitro gametogenesis—an experimental procedure that genetically modifies anyone’s DNA into viable gametes—parents may use technology to...

Cultural Christianity Is Not Enough
Paying homage to Christianity will not save conservativism.
The problem is paying homage to Christianity while denying the truth of its teaching. That is what public intellectuals like Jordan Peterson or Douglas Murray do. Even when you find Peterson speaking positively about the Bible, it is as a Jungian who reduces the Bible to a grouping of myths that represent archetypes found in... Continue Reading
