10 Attributes of God Viewed through the Lens of Truth
Since God is a God of truth, God is good.
Each attribute describes the whole of God, not just a part of him. If so, it also describes every other attribute, because all the attributes belong to who God is. Truth is one attribute of God. So in this attribute it ought to be possible to see the other attributes, all of which belong to truth.... Continue Reading
Wars and Rumors of War
To the generation who knew only Roman peace, Jesus warned that a coming era of instability in the empire would arise as a sign of Jerusalem’s eventual downfall.
When we read Matthew 24:6-8, we must not allow ourselves to be afraid. The wars and rumors of wars that Jesus mentioned were all a part of the downfall of Jerusalem (not a modern event) because of Judah’s covenant crimes against her God. Like a Woman in Labor As Jesus and His disciples left... Continue Reading
Justice Samuel Alito: “I Had the Honor” to Write Supreme Court Decision Overturning Roe
Altio dismissed criticism of the decision from international pro-abortion figures like British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences,” Alito wrote. “And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.” In his first public comments since the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe...

U.S. House Officially Abandons Support for Traditional Marriage
The House voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA), a bill that repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and provides statutory authority for same-sex marriages.
The church must commit to speaking the truth of the gospel and how it applies to this issue. Specifically, we need to make it clear—especially to our neighbors in the pews beside us—that we cannot love our neighbor and tolerate unrepentant rebellion against God. The Story The U.S. House—including 47 House Republicans—voted to codify... Continue Reading
Religious Liberty without Liberalism
If religious liberty is worth preserving, it is worth preserving on explicitly Christian grounds.
Abraham Kuyper offers one non-liberal route for the state to organize itself in a way that is supportive of the basic truths of the divinely ordained natural law within a system that is more tolerant of diversity than the Constantinian settlement. Abraham Kuyper, the Invisible Church, and Religious Establishments Early Protestant politics, according to... Continue Reading
The Transgender Fantasy
What I Wish Every Pastor Knew
There are glimmers of optimism that the secular foundation upon which the transgender worldview is built is beginning to crack. There are a growing number of people, some of them quite prominent, who are not Christians, who are raising concerns about the unsustainability of the transgender worldview.

Study: Marry Young, Marry Your First, Stay Married
Religion is one of the few pillars of strong and stable marriages in America today.
The conventional wisdom holds that spending your twenties focusing on education, work and fun, and then marrying around 30 is the best path to maximize your odds of forging a strong and stable family life. But the research tells a different story, at least for religious couples. Saving cohabitation for marriage, and endowing your relationship... Continue Reading
Why Taiwan Should Be Skeptical of Speaker Pelosi’s Visit
Pelosi's visit will likely benefit China more than it benefits Taiwan
The way that the US undermined Chiang during the Chinese Civil War 1946-1949, and the way it cast aside Taiwan at the United Nations in 1971, is reason enough for Taiwan to be extremely cautious in dealing with the US at present. Beyond rhetoric, and sending defensive arms, the US will likely not fight very... Continue Reading
God is Immutable
When God makes a claim, it is the truth and always will be the truth.
It’s a beautiful irony how God takes our mutable nature and works it for our good and His glory. Yet in so doing it also serves to highlight that Creator/creature distinction. We change…but God does not change. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom... Continue Reading
The Philosophical and Moral Impotency of Natural Law in Refuting Homosexuality
Whether homosexuality is sin is a worldview question.
Without God’s word, ultimate autonomous virtue leads to defending deviant behavior against conscience. That’s where the world lives today. It doesn’t have a good enough reason to condemn sinful practice without being bigoted, so the world defends what God condemns. Although all men know by nature that homosexuality is sin, it’s only through Scripture... Continue Reading
