When men left the home during the Industrial Revolution, the family shifted from a place of productivity to a place of consumption. The sexual revolution finished the job—teaching men that pleasure was their purpose and fatherhood was optional. Then feminism filled the void, redefining virtue as victimhood and replacing protection with performance. Now, three generations... Continue Reading

Dishonoring aging parents rarely erupts in open rebellion. It begins in small forgettings—in love postponed, in presence withheld. It is not always marked by harsh words or public scorn; sometimes it hides in busyness, in silence, in the polite cruelty of distance. The skipped call becomes a month; the postponed visit, a year; love, once... Continue Reading

The genius of knighthood was the genius of Western Christendom itself: at its best, it took the heroic spirit of a warrior people and infused it with the Christian spirit of charity toward others and denial of self. The man who was ready to fight—however noble the cause—was not yet ready to be a knight.... Continue Reading

Hatred toward Jewish people isn’t imagined—it’s measurable. Christians should be the first to condemn it. But condemnation requires definition. Antisemitism is hatred, prejudice, or hostility toward Jews because they are Jews—ethnically, religiously, or culturally… But the modern use of the term has drifted far from its meaning.

The beauty of the gathered church is not merely her structure, but her Guest. “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20). Christ Himself walks the ranks. He inspects His soldiers, heals their wounds, and renews their vows. Every sermon heard is His voice. Every sacrament received is... Continue Reading

Recognizing that God is able should inspire us to dream bigger and pray bolder. It encourages us to surrender our limitations and trust in His divine plans. Sometimes, we hesitate to ask God for what we truly desire because we fear disappointment or think our requests are too grand. However, Ephesians 3:20 reminds us that... Continue Reading

Abram confesses that Yahweh is “God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth” (Gen 14:22). Importantly, this confession of Yahweh as the most high God, the one who owns all the universe, precedes Abram’s justification by faith in Genesis 15:6 when he is said to have “believed the LORD” and the LORD in turn “counted...

One of David’s greatest strengths is that he was tender-hearted. However, the misuse of a great strength can oftentimes lead to great weakness. He was a man of mercy and kindness, but he let that get the best of him at times. He let his tenderheartedness become weakness. He became permissive and passive when his... Continue Reading
