A Witch Trial at the Legal Aid Society
Maud Maron was a model public defender. Then she was forced out of her job because of her political views and her race.
Maron said it was not easy to find a lawyer to take her case: Challenging activists who claim the mantle of antiracism carries tremendous professional risks these days. “Part of me would have loved to walk away from the whole thing,” she said. “But these ideologues have tried to ruin my name and my career...

A Place to Eat, Sleep, and Watch
Emptiness in the Modern Household
Ancient ideals can be reforged and remembered and reappropriated to match the new times and new challenges of today. The family can be bonded by more than mere sentiment and consumption, but by meaningful mission and output. I wondered if the editors at The New York Times realized the irony in the title “The Pandemic Created... Continue Reading
Why Do Christians Pray, “As We Forgive Our Debtors”?
The forgiven cannot help forgiving.
The Christian knows that they deserve nothing from God but hell. And we thank Jesus for taking our hell upon himself. Then, knowing the immense crimes that God has forgiven us, and knowing that although we deserve his worst he has given us his best, we cannot help but extend the same to others. As...

Being Discerning and Being Critical are not the Same Thing
How can you tell the difference between a discerning person and a critical one?
The Bible warns us all to avoid those who would stir up dissention and start quarrels—those with a critical spirit tend to do such things, focusing only on what is negative. Let’s also discern when criticism stems, not from a desire to promote what is right and true, but from a critical spirit seeking to... Continue Reading
Scepters, Crowns, Thrones
Where men grasp and strive for power, God values those who seek after humility.
If there are scepters in God’s invisible kingdom, they are not grasped in clenched fists but joyfully surrendered to the true king. If there are crowns in God’s invisible kingdom, they are worn only so they can be removed to be thrown at his feet. My travels have led me through many castles in... Continue Reading
Why Do Christians Pray, “And Lead Us Not into Temptation, But Deliver Us from Evil”?
Temptation begins by questioning the fairness of God’s commands.
We pray that he will shield us from temptations and trials that we are too weak to resist. By praying this powerful prayer, we place our entire hope for salvation into our Father’s hands. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.—Matthew 6:13 (ESV) God placed Adam and Eve in Eden,... Continue Reading
Old and New Covenant Means of Grace
Seeing the parallels of the means of grace in tabernacle worship and new covenant worship gives us a greater appreciation of all that Christ won for us.
God has always had mediums, or means of grace, to communicate Himself to His people. But rather than looking to the old grandeur of the tabernacle with longing, we should remember that all those things pointed forward to Christ and the greater fellowship to be had between God and His people in new covenant worship....

The Bible Teaches the Sacred/Secular Distinction
It’s really a distinction between time and eternity.
The sacred is to shape and regulate the secular. If, in our zeal to live for Christ, we throw out this sacred/secular distinction, the irony is that we will become more secular than ever. It’s very easy for us as Christians to compartmentalise our Christian lives. I’m sure lots of us feel the contradiction between what... Continue Reading
Critical Race Theory’s Chief Marketing Officer
Ibram X. Kendi’s brand of “antiracism” sanitizes for elite institutions the academic Left’s most pernicious ideas.
Many Americans have realized that Kendi’s brand of “antiracism” is nothing more than a marketing-friendly recapitulation of the academic Left’s most pernicious ideas. While Kendi, born Ibram Henry Rogers, presents himself as a radical subversive, he is really an ideologist of elite opinion, subsidized heavily by America’s corporations and public institutions. Ibram X. Kendi’s... Continue Reading
What Happens When Doctors Can’t Tell the Truth?
Whole areas of research are off-limits. Top physicians treat patients based on their race. An ideological "purge" is underway in American medicine.
Some doctors say that there is a “purge” underway in the world of American medicine: question the current orthodoxy and you will be pushed out. “People Are Afraid to Speak Honestly” They meet once a month on Zoom: a dozen doctors from around the country with distinguished careers in different specialities. They vary in... Continue Reading
