Critical Race Theory: A Two-page Overview
Critical Race Theory proceeds upon a number of dubious assumptions and by means of a variety of questionable methods.
Critical Race Theorists describe Critical Race Theory as a movement (which is strange for a theory of society) designed to reinvent the relationships between race, racism, and power in society. To do this, they begin with the assumption that race is socially constructed and racism is systemic. “Unlike traditional approaches to civil rights, which favor incrementalism and step-by-step progress,...

When We Lose Loved Ones and Have Regrets
Christ has purchased for us an eternity in which we will love each other as he has loved us.
We will never love as we ought to love in this life. This, in turn, should lead us to rest in what Christ has accomplished and purchased for us. Though we have failed to love believers with a perfect love, we will forever render to them what we know we owe them and what we... Continue Reading
Elders Are Not Quarrelsome
Rulers who rule justly and humbly spread blessing and hope among those they serve.
An elder must love and contend for truth without being quarrelsome. The way he does that is the same way that every Christian must do it—by seriously applying the Word of God to himself before he applies it to others. King David’s words describe the goodness and blessing of well-exercised authority: The Spirit of... Continue Reading
How Hopeful Gene Editing Tech Fails with Broken Philosophy
It’s important to ask not only “can we” do something, but “should we” do something.
Gene editing technologies like CRISPR promise not only to eradicate disease and disability, but also to provide human enhancement and designer babies. But this powerful technology comes with a host of major ethical issues that need to be carefully considered and addressed. More and more, we’re hearing about the promises of gene editing. It’s...

Jailed Alberta Pastor Alleges Abuse In Prison But Remains Hopeful; Lawyer Condemns ‘Bizarre’ Detention
Despite his imprisonment, Pawlowski said he remains hopeful.
Pawlowski’s lawyer, Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers, described Pawlowski’s detention as “quite bizarre,” telling Rebel News, “We can’t understand why he hasn’t been released yet. We can’t understand why it took them so long to get him in contact with his legal counsel.” Pastor Artur Pawlowski, the Polish pastor who was arrested Saturday by Calgary Police... Continue Reading
Racism is Receding But Still Requires Christ’s Redeeming
The progress is real, but so is the problem.
The redemption our nation needs isn’t merely removing the offense of racism, it’s embracing those separated from us in relationships of love. Earlier this year, I promised to write a series of posts this year highlighting positive cultural trends, as an encouragement to Christians. So today, with some trepidation, I’m going to make the counterintuitive case... Continue Reading
The World’s Most Amazing Camera: Part 2
Human vision is an irreducibly complex system and cannot have evolved in a neo-Darwinian fashion.
The ability of the human mind to construct a 3D representation of your environment based on the information sent via the optic nerve from two eyes to the brain is truly remarkable. Each part must function as designed in order for the system to work. I recently had the opportunity to ride in one... Continue Reading
6 Ways to Weed Out Wolves
Six steps you can start taking today.
There is no question. Threats will constantly come against the church from the inside, and the goal will be to draw sheep out of the fold. Alertness is mandated! The greatest threat to the church is not the blowing winds of culture from the outside, but false teachers who infiltrate from the inside. Those... Continue Reading
“Love What Others Have”
The False Gospel of Covetousness
The temptation to covet promises us that if we can have what someone else has, we’ll be happy. Jesus is about to show us the emptiness of that promise. One day, as Jesus was teaching, a man in the crowd shouted out, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me” (Luke 12:13).... Continue Reading
A Threefold Cord
The image is one of a strong, three-stranded rope that is much stronger than if the rope were just one or even two strands.
We need one another. We need to be able to confess sin, rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. This, of course, is best experienced (by design!) in the local church. However, people can often come and go from Lord’s Day to Lord’s Day without ever actually experiencing community. They’re more... Continue Reading
