How Feminism Got Hijacked
The movement that once declared “I am woman, hear me roar” can no longer define what a woman is. What happened?
Returning the cause to the people for whom it was created is the only way to save it, and to stop the many discriminations that girls and women still face….First, we have to honor the actual meaning of words, like “woman.” We have to insist that those meanings are important. We have to go back,... Continue Reading
Baylor University Charters LGBTQ Group
There is no slippery slope from “safe place” to “no place for dissent.” The latter is simply an inevitable consequence of the former.
In the same month that Baylor announced the chartering of its LGBT group, Notre Dame announced the launch of a pro-LGBT alumni group. Anyone interested in how safe space thinking can develop, and how it can be used to disembowel an institution’s own religious commitments and marginalize those who actually adhere to those commitments, should...

Old Books & Present Problems
Our present Western culture has not abandoned morality. It has changed morality.
I think it is about time we pick up an old book called the Bible. I have no doubt that old Book will give us the perspective we desperately need. C. S. Lewis once wrote an essay to a very old book wherein he commended the practice of reading old books. He, as a... Continue Reading
Social Media: A Downgrade of Culture
To stay relevant on social media, you must sink to its ethos, or you will be ignored; or worse, the gatekeepers will banish you.
Social media is a form of culture which takes all the negatives of popular culture and heightens them. Even pop culture is too substantial and must be broken down into smaller bites on social media. If a post does not capture our attention in mere seconds, without user engagement, it will die a quick death... Continue Reading
Enlightening Joe Scaimbra, (and the RCA, CRC, and UCC at the same time)
I was somewhat shocked. I was shocked that he was shocked at this behaviour by RC priests. Let me explain.
Generally, from then to now, Protestants resist concurrence with this, and when confronted with undeniable evidence, attempt to moderate it. Protestants read this article and think to themselves that I have an anger problem, or that I was abused and have a grudge or something. I don’t, and have no personal sexual history of abuse...

A Friendly Response to David French On CRT
If you firebomb a particular term like “woke” or “CRT,” scholars will simply swap out the offending term and continue promoting the same bad ideas under a new heading.
If Christians come to view other Christians as oppressors based solely on their ethnicity or gender, if we exalt lived experience over the Bible, if we see oppression rather than sin as our fundamental problem, and if we see activism rather than Jesus as the fundamental solution, we’ll have deeply undermined this good news. God... Continue Reading
In Defense of the Gender Binary
Fundamental, traditional assumptions about sex, gender, and marriage are being reinvisioned.
We are, it seems, losing our grip on what it means to be human. In an age where all aspects, once cherished and considered sacred, fundamental to our humanity are fuzzy shadows of our parent’s outdated ideas, we stand to lose something central to human flourishing. We are now seeing seismic shifts in perception about... Continue Reading
Because She’s Black?
We’ve become so desensitized by abortion and so manipulated by critical race theorists that some would unashamedly celebrate the confirmation of an unjust Supreme Court Justice because she’s black.
The concept of intersectionality suggests a person with supposedly intersecting identities (such as being both black and a woman) is able to simultaneously experience discrimination as a result of being both a black person and a woman. Naturally, this creates a perception that black women, for instance, are categorically and uniquely different from both... Continue Reading
A Brief Word on the Explicit Endorsement of Side B in the PCA
It is not exactly true that no PCA court has endorsed the so called Side B position on homosexuality.
Though it may be true that no court has formally endorsed Side B in the sense of issuing a resolution that says something along the lines of ‘We the session of Generic Presbyterian hereby commend the school of doctrine known as Side B to our members, to our follow presbyters, and to the denomination at...

What is Radical Monogamy?
Every once in a while, someone who doesn’t profess Christianity will stumble upon some sort of natural or moral law that Christians have professed for centuries.
Human limits, including the moral limits of monogamy, narrow our relationship choices in ways that are more gifts than locked doors. Our limitations enable the freedom for something: the freedom to be truly human. Every once in a while, someone who doesn’t profess Christianity will stumble upon some sort of natural or moral law that Christians have professed... Continue Reading
