Priestesses and Goddesses in the Church?
What gender language “monitoring” at the United Methodist General Conference reveals.
The impulse to downplay male-female difference and treat men and women interchangeably against God’s clear revelation—in the home, in the church, in marriage, and in society—is the same impulse that attempts to approach God on one’s own terms, making God in one’s own interchangeable image. This is the definition of idolatry, the opposite of Christianity. Headlines... Continue Reading
Complementarians And The Rise Of Second-Wave Evangelical Feminism
Over the last three decades, cracks in the complementarian movement have grown to the extent that two forms of complementarianism are now distinguishable.
For complementarians like these are emptying complementarity of any positive content, thereby aiding the project of the late modern West, which is warring against the sexual binary and any attempts to identify traits, features, customs, habits, or callings as characteristically—much less, exclusively—masculine or feminine. We don’t even have mothers anymore—only “pregnant people” and “birthing persons.”... Continue Reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Tool, Image Bearer, or Temptation?
Technology may not be good or bad in and of itself, but technology is never neutral.
We must also recognize that AI technology is here to stay. The church cannot avoid giving careful thought to fundamental questions like: how does AI fit into the Christian worldview and how might we engage with AI technologies to further our mission without compromising our biblical values and principles? Abstract: The headlines of today... Continue Reading
Against Overture 15 Before the PCA General Assembly: To Say “Biological Men” is Caving to the Culture
Overture 15 has to do with the madness called transgenderism. The PCA General Assembly should answer this overture in the negative.
It’s been said many times, he who controls the language controls the culture. For believers in Jesus Christ to use the term “biological men” amounts to a surrender to the culture’s mistaken notion that there exists the possibility of a man/male other than one who is identifiable biologically as a man/male. If we know there... Continue Reading
Why I Do Not Celebrate “LGBTQ+ Pride Month” But Mourn It
Not only is pride generally a sin, but also there is nothing to be proud of in the so-called "LGBTQ+ Pride Month."
This is not a month to be “proud” but rather a month to mourn. Mourn the moral rot pervading our country. It has harmed not only the nation as a whole, but especially those who in their self-delusion celebrate what is injurious to themselves, and to their relationship with others and God. Not only...

Everyone has Their Own Facts Now
There is a surplus of information, which makes all information less valuable.
Of course, calling all of this “information” is misleading. Perhaps we should call it content, because it’s not all equal and it’s not all equally true. But that’s part of the problem. What happens when you take a populous whose idea of an informed person is someone capable of juggling massive amounts of incoherent and... Continue Reading
If American Institutions were Morally Neutral, Harrison Butker Wouldn’t have Struck a Nerve
The backlash to Harrison Butker’s commencement speech makes it abundantly clear that neutrality within a given political order is a myth.
Threats from the Democrat outrage mob shouldn’t stop American conservative politicians from doing everything they can to repair America’s moral fabric. Now is not the time for conservatives to retreat into the comfort of fictional neutrality. Let Harrison Butker’s example be a call to arms to assertively champion conservative values and reshape our political landscape.... Continue Reading
The Methodist Surrender
The UMC lost sight of what it means to be human.
For what do all these people have in common? A basic failure to realize two things. First, the gospel relativizes and ultimately demolishes all human categories of division in light of Christ. To quote Paul, in Christ there is no Jew or Gentile, slave or free. Any attempt to interfere with these by building divisive... Continue Reading
Abandoning the Loser Gospel: How the Book of Acts Proves an Eschatology of Victory
The End of the Kingdom
Let us resolve to abandon the naysaying and hand-wringing and instead embrace the radiant joy and bold witness that defined the apostolic company. No matter the opposition, no matter the changing winds of cultural hostility, we can remain steadfast in our Gospel labor – for it is a labor that will not fail until Christ... Continue Reading
New Colorado Law Will Harm Children
What parents? Colorado thinks kids are the property of the state.
Whether social, chemical, or surgical, “transition” procedures harm, they do not help. To legislate as if they do, claiming the science is settled when it is not and keeping parents in the dark, is irresponsible, unethical, and dangerous. Last month, the governor of Colorado signed a bill into law that legally requires teachers to... Continue Reading
