Cancel Culture Is Not Speaking Truth to Power. It’s Just Speaking Power.
Cancel culture is muscle. It is thousands of people hurling accusations at an unprepared individual.
Online cancellation mobs are instruments of injustice. They don’t protect victims, they create them. They don’t create change. They stay in their digital plot. And they don’t just harm the targets. They harm the participants. They poison the imagination, they dehumanize, and they reinforce a self-righteous sense that such a fate must be deserved. I want... Continue Reading
Written in the Book
He takes our names with him wherever he goes.
The God who spoke the world into being wrote your name in his own blood on his hand. One day, when the heavens are ripped away and the earth remade in fire, you and I can sit with him and look at them together. We will find…our names, written before time, written in time, written forever.... Continue Reading
The After-Effects of Jesus’ Death: Matthew 27:50-53
The first effect of the death of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew is the tremendous visible signs which accompanied that moment.
It is understandable for the authors to only briefly mention these miraculous events as they point towards, support, and otherwise affirm and magnify the singular person of which each of the gospels is about—Jesus. One of the strangest few verses in all of the Bible, describes the circumstances around the death of Christ. Matthew,... Continue Reading
Bank Collapses & Good Investments
If you want to change the world, limit investing in the limited and maximize your investment in the infinite.
Invest in the Kingdom of God. Give your time, talents, and treasures to God’s mission on earth. Pour out your life—whether you eat, drink, work, rest, or whatever you do—with that aim in mind. Be a hearer and a doer of His Word. And you will bear thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold return (Matthew... Continue Reading
The Eternality of God
Although we clearly cannot grasp fully what God’s eternity means, we can understand that this attribute is real.
Thinking about God’s attributes may be hard work, but no other object of study is more suitable to humble and expand our mind. It allows us to forget ourselves and focus all our attention on the only true God who is the source of all life and blessings. When we talk about God’s attributes... Continue Reading
On Culture, Caesar, and Biblical Critical Theory
Book Review—There is plenty of incisive commentary in the new volume, "Biblical Critical Theory," by Christopher Watkin.
Watkin reminds us that the biblical story, or metanarrative, is also a far ranging ideological assessment of culture. It too offers a type of critical theory: it also tests and evaluates all things, but in the light of God and his Word. And the aim is not revolution but redemption. The new book by a Monash University philosophy professor and Christian thinker... Continue Reading
Taking a Dog by the Ears
Constructive correction in controversy, rather than cancellation, is a wiser course—for everyone.
Egalitarians and progressives have learned a lesson. They have learned that they can manipulate TGC with unfounded mob accusations of misogyny and harm. This is not good for [Joshua] Butler. It’s not good for TGC. And it’s certainly not good for the truth. Last week people kept asking me if I was going to... Continue Reading
Is It Okay to Be White?
When guilt is assigned and sacrifice demanded based solely on a person’s skin color, a lack of respect can transform into indignation.
The perspectives of men like James Brown and Scott Adams are overt appeals to skin color. While the motivations for these appeals vary, the goal is the same: self-help, pride, and temporal well-being. A question like “Is it okay to be white?” and its provocative musical counterpart, “Say it loud, black, and proud,” are short-sighted... Continue Reading
Department of Education to Remove Protections for Religious Campus Groups
The U.S. Department of Education announced its intention to rescind the “Free Inquiry Rule,” which was designed to fix the pressuring and discriminating against religious student groups.
Protecting religious expression is vital, not just for Christians, but for everyone. Conscience rights are pre-political rights and provide the foundation on which every other liberty is built. In February, the U.S. Department of Education announced its intention to rescind the “Free Inquiry Rule,” established in 2020 by then-Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. According to the...

The Day a Dutchman Broke My Brain
There’s a divine thread running from the yellow tulip in my front yard all the way back to the incomprehensible, infinitely mysterious Trinity.
I’m glad a Dutchman broke my brain that day. He took me into a windowed room I’d never entered. And now the rest of the world is bathed in biblical light as I strive to stay low, worship well, and love deeply. Learning new things is like opening doors to windowed rooms. We can... Continue Reading
