When Critical Theory Took on Race
The connections between Critical Race Theory and its philosophical parent Critical Theory.
A thorough reading of the historical development of both philosophical disciplines reveals a genealogy that is closer than simple intellectual similarities. Introduction Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been gaining traction in organizations throughout the Western world for over 50 years, but increasingly so for the past 5 years leading up to 2021. It is... Continue Reading
The Salami Tactics that lead to a Church Without Christianity
Progressive agenda: To help turn the world around the church works and talks about foodbanks, climate change, rockets and missiles, violence against women.
The point is that the progressives, especially in the Church, will never be happy until they have driven out every ‘regressive’. Because they don’t believe in the God of the Bible, they end up believing only in themselves and their ideology. And they need to be united around a common enemy – Christians who actually...

Pitiful Pride
Pride and Christianity do, of course, share one sacrament—or at least one sacramental sign: the rainbow.
For the LGBTQ+ community, the rainbow is ostensibly the symbol of inclusion, a multicolored banner that, as Lego now promotes to children, means that everyone belongs. More than that, it asserts that everyone can be whoever they want to be (serial killers and religious conservatives excepted). For Christians (as for Jews), the rainbow is quite... Continue Reading
Good News On the Run: Are We Addicted to Bad News?
We love good news, but we are too often addicted to bad news. It feeds and fuels our outrage.
The world, the flesh, and the devil conspire against this every single day. There is a discipline of grace required of every Christian, calling us to actively direct our hearts and minds toward the good, the true, and the beautiful—toward Jesus Christ himself. Show me a Christian who walks closely with Jesus—meditating on his Word,... Continue Reading
How God Sees the Measure of a Man
Regardless of the work that God has called each of us to do, we must all put our hands on the plow, and not look back at our mistakes and shortcomings.
We should look forward, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith (Heb 12:2). One of the measures God demands from each of his children is faithfulness. When God came for my father, Dad was faithfully plowing the fields of the Lord. May God find each one of us as faithful. ... Continue Reading
Countering Spiritual Busyness
There will always be more weight to lose, more money to make, and more yield for the investment of our time, money, and energy.
Tripping over our own feet, unable to get out of our own way, taking one step backward for every two steps forward, we must press on and pursue maturity by recognizing and embracing that our successes and failures neither save nor condemn us; rather, they witness to a holy God who has called his people...

God’s Glorious Answer to the Evil of Our Present Day
Evil exists to magnify the redeeming grace and glory of God through the unparalleled atoning work of Jesus Christ.
He is Yahweh, the transcendent Lord of all. There is no other God. The Sovereign of the universe indicates His total control over the events of history by using a merism, which is a common Hebrew literary device expressing completeness. A merism contrasts two polar extremes as a way of highlighting everything in between. In... Continue Reading
Grave Men Facing A Grave Faith
A report on a series of leading serious intellectuals who recognize the need for Christianity’s resurrection but can’t quite bring the faith to life in themselves.
Viewing Western civilization with its Christian soul cut out, many are now willing to say: “We need Christ.” What they are unable, thus far, to say, is: “I need Christ.” But the political must become personal. Peterson appears to understand that—and is awestruck by the reality of it. For now, historians like Niall Ferguson recognize... Continue Reading
Discerning the Christian Imagination: Analogies and Proportion
Wrong views of God lead to poor musical, poetic, or literary analogies. Poor analogies lead to wrong views of God.
Believers need to grow simultaneously in two areas: an awareness of what responses God deserves, and an awareness of how works of imagination communicate. To fail in the first area is to allow the profane, the blasphemous and the false to enter the Christian imagination, by virtue of not knowing God as He is. To... Continue Reading
Broadening Churches Break, Will the PCA?
Here is how the contemporary broadening of the PCA differs from the PCUSA. You could argue it begins with Good Faith Subscription.
Breadth seems to be afflicting the PCA. The affliction is certainly different from the broadening of the PCUSA roughly one hundred years ago. But in one way it is similar. “Evangelicals” like Charles Erdman, professor of practical theology at Princeton and opponent of Machen within the seminary and the church, believed a denomination could be...
