The 7 Most Outrageous Moments of the World Economic Forum 2024
WEF concluded its Wednesday forum on “Climate and Nature” by inviting a shaman to carry out a pagan ritual for the healing of the planet, because “the healing is spiritual.”
The 2024 World Economic Forum became a coming-out party, displaying the WEF’s love of paganism. WEF concluded its Wednesday forum on “Climate and Nature” by inviting a shaman to carry out a pagan ritual for the healing of the planet, because “the healing is spiritual.” The moderator, Gim Huay Neo, closed the discussion by inviting “a very...

Government Described and Defended
Commentary on Winthrop’s Vindication
Arbitrary government is where men rule without accountability as to personnel and standard. Pretty straight forward. If people have no “choice or allowance,” meaning active selection or passive confirmation, and where men judge on a whim—with will but without reason—there is arbitrary government. God alone has no accountability beyond himself. Winthrop maintained that Massachusetts in... Continue Reading
Abuse: No Joke, No Myth
It happened in Ezekiel’s day; it still happens today.
We must not be ignorant or naive about the reality of abuse in Christian circles. And we must not turn a blind eye or a deaf ear when we hear about or see abuse cases of any kind. The Lord loves justice and calls us to practice justice while we walk humbly with him (Mic.... Continue Reading
Don’t Follow Your Heart: Commit Cultural Heresy
Book Review: How to avoid the death spiral of self-worship.
If the “follow your heart” religion is indeed the dominant religion of our cultural moment, as Williams has argued, Christians, for the love of God and the love of our neighbors, will need to commit cultural heresy. We only find our “true selves” in right relationship with God. Reject the death spiral of self-worship. Embrace... Continue Reading
Alistair Begg Encouraging a Woman to Attend Her Grandson’s Gay Wedding and to “Bring a Gift”
A gay marriage isn’t a “marriage” – it is an anti-marriage, the deep internal meaning of which is rebellion toward God.
If the ceremony is not a Christian one, what is it? What are they swearing to and by? If there’s a god involved in any way you’d better be careful what you’re getting yourself into. Now here, if the service is “Christian” it is a shameful presentation of heretical and anti-Christian sentiment performed by some supposed... Continue Reading
The God Beyond Need
Aseity and the Gospel: God in His grace has allowed us to understand Him truly.
God is the source of all reason and morality, humans can only go so far afoul of God’s standards before the consequence of His perfect being silences them and squashes them. This makes ultimate ethical standards fixed, not subject to the changing winds of culture, not situational, or an expedient maxim for determining our next... Continue Reading
The Most Pessimistic Religion in the World
Only Christianity insists we must throw up our hands in utter defeat at any attempt at self-justification.
The view that Christianity and Islam are more similar than different is mainstream within the Muslim community. And though many Americans live in areas with relatively small Muslim populations, that’s likely to change in coming years. It’s important to be ready to engage our Muslim neighbors in meaningful conversations about our faith. A helpful first step in any... Continue Reading
Don’t Turn Your Faith Into a Work
Our deadness meant God had to take the initiative.
Let’s not turn faith into a work but glory in the grace of God. Let us delight in the fact that it is all grounded in him, his sovereign choice, his willingness to submit to death on our behalf so that we – with no grounds for boasting in us as a result – might... Continue Reading
It’s a Trap!
We have an enemy, and he loves to try to trap us.
We are in a warfare that requires the prudent be on the lookout for evils to avoid. In your hearts, acknowledge the traps that are all around you. And if you really need to, say it out loud to shake you from your apathy and turn from the temptation. When I was in college,... Continue Reading
Groundhog Day. A critique of American culture.
A seemingly innocent 30-year-old movie exposes the depth of corruption in America’s culture.
What’s wrong with this perspective on human life? People everywhere in America agree that a bad attitude in life brings bad results. But the biblical perspective strikes deeper into the fallen nature of humanity. Bad attitude embodies sin – sin against God the Creator, and Christ the Redeemer. The movie also communicates the idea that... Continue Reading
