How A 10-Year-Old Girl’s Mom Saved Her From Going Transgender
Mindy’s mother demonstrated how parents can release a child from the grip of a “gender dysphoria” diagnosis.
By Mindy’s own admission, she’s not trans. Her former therapist was attempting to manufacture a transgender child out of an overwhelmed ten-year-old who needed friends after changing schools. Happily, the parents put a stop to that madness. Unfortunately, for thousands more, their stories don’t end so well. When I appeared on a Heritage Foundation panel... Continue Reading
Critical Race Theory: Civil Rights Upside Down
There is only one foundation for universal respect and justice: the intrinsic value of each human being made in the image of God.
That is the evil of racism, and it is evil no matter who practices it. The injustice of racism must be addressed, but you cannot fight injustice with injustice. Bigotry by any other name is still bigotry. It is still evil. It is still sin. And no Christian should participate in it, condone it, or... Continue Reading
Brave New World or 1984?
As the West realized that history was still ongoing, that there are real dangers out there, and that real evil really exists, the response was not to return to our Christian roots but rather to hide our collective heads in the sand.
I have long pondered whether Brave New World or 1984 was more plausible as the fate of the West. But just the other day it finally dawned on me that the right answer to this question is not one or the other: it is both! We are headed to Brave New World by way of 1984. They are not alternatives but sequential... Continue Reading
The Injustice of Social Justice. Why Woke Social Justice Is Antibiblical
While biblical justice is at the forefront of championing the innocent, the downtrodden, the weak, the poor, the widow and the orphan, it doesn’t give one’s “oppression” status as an excuse for that person to do evil or to have a different standard of judgment.
In general, God demands blindness to age, ethnic group, and sex, in the sense that it assumes all humans are equal in their status of humanness. This is why a consistent biblical worldview is opposed to partiality, slavery, and abortion. Also, the biblical worldview tempers authentic justice with mercy and forgiveness. In woke social justice,... Continue Reading
When a Free Society Becomes a Police State
“What I have, this place gave me. I will fight on till the last day. It will be an honour if I...sacrifice.” - Jimmy Lai
Perhaps you read all of this and think the following: The Chinese Communist Party is terrible. We hear horrific stories out of China all the time. About how the CCP is carrying out a genocide against Uyghur Muslims and how it is staging videos of people pretending to be happy Uyghurs in an attempt to conceal the... Continue Reading
What Are Bodies For? Beyond Bathrooms and Women’s Sports
We are called to embrace the richer, original diversity of male and female as truly liberating, beautiful, and wonderfully erotic.
Thankfully, there is an alternative to gender ideology’s discordant dualism. When gendered embodiment is treasured, maleness and femaleness are understood not as acts we perform, but as our very bodily essence. Being a man or a woman is not simply what one does, it is who one is. This releases men and women from unhealthy and unrealistic gender stereotypes, past or present.... Continue Reading
Why Reading Books You Disagree With Helps You Grow
As you grow more comfortable with ideas, you can expose yourself to contrary positions in order to strengthen your own.
One of the joys of reading is growing in knowledge about the world around us, including those to whom we are called to minister and share the hope of the gospel with. But a second and extremely important reason behind reading things we disagree agree with is for our own personal growth. Over the years,... Continue Reading
The Uselessness of Critical Race Theory for the Christian Mind
The world might do it’s usual work of hate and division, but as for us, we will have none of it.
As soon as someone says “critical race theory implies this… “ someone else will say it implies that, and another that it implies something else because it is made of wax and has little in the way of formal or solid foundations for its applications or interpretation. It could mean almost anything under the right... Continue Reading
Pro-Pharaoh Christians?
Why do I suspect that many believers today would have opposed Moses?
When we hear Christians defending the state and chastising other believers, they usually dish out the same old lines. The reasons to disobey or resist are often summed up in a well-worn phrase about this can only happen when the state commands us to do that which is sinful, etc. I may even have said...

‘Sesame Street’ Introduces Gay Couple During Pride Month
"Love is love, and we are so happy to add this special family to our Sesame family. Happy Pride to all!!!!" - Alan Muraoka
The show drew praise from LGBTQ advocates who applauded the inclusion. “The ‘Family Day’ episode of Sesame Street sends the simple and important message that families come in all forms and that love and acceptance are always the most important ingredients in a family,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis tweeted. “Sesame Street” is...
