The Difference Between Enjoyment and Fulfillment
Any time when we confuse enjoyment with fulfillment; the result is that we make ourselves sick. We get sick physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We become free by coming to the realization that our deepest longings, our deepest needs, our deepest desires can only be fulfilled in Christ. When we are fulfilled in Jesus, we are free to enjoy other things without needing them to fulfill us. We are able to operate in moderation because our deepest needs have... Continue Reading
California “Ethnic Studies” Proposal Teaches Kids White Christians are Evil, Chant to Aztec Gods
The ultimate goal is to engineer a "‘countergenocide" against whites.
If approved, what is being called the “Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum” will be implemented statewide in the Golden State’s primary and secondary public schools, which serve approximately 6 million students in some 10,000 schools. The California Department of Education is set to vote on a new ethnic studies curriculum aimed at the “decolonization” of... Continue Reading
A Year Later: Lessons Learned in a Pandemic
I would never choose to relive the past twelve months. But the Lord has graciously brought opportunities for growth in all of them.
The past year has brought more than its share of hardship and trial. I don’t think any of us would choose to relive it if given the option. But seeing through the eyes of faith means we are able to look at it all and trust that the Lord has indeed been at work in... Continue Reading
No Longer the Economy—It’s All About Equity Not Equality – Stupid!
Discussions about equality always result in a demand for equity. Don’t be deceived; it’s all about equity, not equality.
Equity is the new term that will pave the way for the transfer of both wealth and power from the oppressor to the oppressed. It is Classical (or Neo) Marxism in action. It now controls the major institutions in the United States including civil government, academia, the news media, the corporate boardroom, and even the... Continue Reading
Philosophy for Understanding Theology: The Metaphysics Behind the Reformed Confessions
The infiltration of relational theism into Evangelical and confessional theology is a matter of conservative theology taking on assumptions that were widespread in 20th century liberal theology.
The reason it is so hard to understand the Reformation confessions today – 200 years after Kant – is that the metaphysical framework in which the authors of those confessions worked has not only been lost; it is no longer even understood. What is needed is to recover the history of the development of classical... Continue Reading
The COVID Baby Bust Reflects a Disturbing Cultural Reality
At the start of the pandemic, many expected the lockdowns and quarantines to lead to a “baby boom.” The data show instead of a “boom” it’s been a “bust.”
Christians, of course, should hold at least as high of a view of marriage and fertility. After all, God never revoked the command to be fruitful and multiply, and Jesus’ command to let the little children come to Him implies there are children around in the first place. Scripture is clear that “children are a... Continue Reading
The “Experts” Have Finally Come For Dr. Seuss, For Our Childhoods And For Our Children—But We Know Their Secret
Every day in America, panels of experts are hurting people, erasing traditions, writing rules, rewriting history, and burning the leftovers...they came for Dr. Seuss—and with him, all of us.
Pity them, these experts so lacking in the happiness of innocent imagination. You know their secret, but they know nothing of the joys a child holds in their heart. Teach your children who these experts are, and why they’re sad. But most importantly of all, teach them of your joys — and share with them... Continue Reading
The Miseducation of America’s Elites
Affluent parents, terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children’s private schools, organize in secret.
These schools are called prep schools because they prepare America’s princelings to take their place in what we’re told is our meritocracy. Nothing happens at a top prep school that is not a mirror of what happens at an elite college. What does it say about the current state of that meritocracy, then, that it... Continue Reading
Caring for the Poor and Weak
If God’s people are not caring for the poor, then they are accomplices in the oppression, and God will take up the cause of the needy against their oppressors.
Caring for the poor is one of the major themes of the Old Testament that prepares us for the person and work of Jesus. Christ’s actions and teachings should not surprise us because we are already familiar with the actions and teachings of the Lord in the history of Israel. As a matter of fact,... Continue Reading
Bringing True Peace To Those Who Fear Death
The key to our steadiness is not calm, glassy waters, but the peace that comes from being reconciled with God through Jesus Christ.
The believer’s eager embrace of this amazing Gospel truth is the only thing that will truly obliterate any fear he or she may have when faced with the specter of death that has hung over humanity since the time when sin and ungodliness first entered into the world through Adam.
