The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has just released new guidance warning doctors against performing gender-transition surgeries on minors. And now—because of Fox Varian’s courageous stand in court—there is a reckoning on the way to the medical providers who profited from these ghoulish procedures. That reckoning has been a long time in coming. Thank God it may... Continue Reading

There are people in every field who have “been there and done that.” They know what newcomers cannot yet see: that most callings are different from what we imagine, and almost always harder than we expect. There are real costs as well as real rewards, and both must be weighed carefully. The goal is not... Continue Reading

The line has been crossed. The cost is our kids. It’s time to fight back—with truth, courage, and conviction. It is our responsibility to give kids their identity, security, and childhood back.   Recently, singer Meghan Trainor posted a picture of herself in a hospital bed, teary-eyed, and holding a newborn for skin-to-skin contact. The woman who carried and... Continue Reading

Churches are always affected by societal and economic changes; constant vigilance is needed, while not losing our mission.   Along the way, we ask: Where mistakes were made that we do not wish to repeat?

Biblically, there are three areas we are directly called to invest in: mentees, grandchildren, and the cause of Christ through the local church of which we are a part.   At some point in...

Most Christians agree that viewing p*rn is sinful. But do we realize that dogpiling, creating filthy memes, doxxing, sharing private information, goading, belittling, and manipulating are just as sinful?   When I was a young man, I played bass guitar in a Christian rock band. Our band played many church events throughout the south. Youth... Continue Reading

Has it never crossed his mind that millions of “White evangelicals” vote for Republicans for a variety of reasons other than superficial political alignment? Never mind that the party Mr. Fuller and his liberal sycophants favor government collectivism over individual responsibility, drag queens over the dignity of women and the sexual indoctrination of children over...

But I’m not interested in society, which is doomed to pass away (“the world is passing away along with its desires,” 1 Jn. 2:17), but in the church. Tell me, reader, how can the church be guiltless of partiality, inconsistency, and hypocrisy if it makes certain unnatural immorality nameable in polite Christian society, but wishes...
