My Father and My Son
I wish I had used the word “sleep training” instead of “discipline”.
My father abandoned me before I was born, being a bad father is something I’m deeply afraid of. Before my son was born, I was anxious that since my father didn’t love me, perhaps I also wouldn’t love my son. But to my joy, I adore my son, by the grace of God. I would... Continue Reading
The Diseased Ethics of Bailout Culture
Examining Canada's entrenched kleptocracy.
Our culture has been shaped by the godless notion that compassion means the abolition of consequences. Addicts should be given a free home and a safe place to kill themselves. Career criminals should either be released, or sequestered away in a resort prison where he can think about what a bad boy he’s been. Corrupt politicians should... Continue Reading
The Carpenter and the Cross
The attributes of carpentry uniquely contributed to prepare Christ for his earthly ministry.
Why was Jesus born the son of a carpenter to work as a carpenter? The question remains answered only in the mind of God. Yet it can be said that the Father’s plan to atone for sin through Christ was perfect, and carpentry provided the perfect home life and work for the Son of God... Continue Reading
Difficult Incidents Shouldn’t Surprise Us
Being the family of God—if we’re doing it right—is going to be messy.
Most people who show up to an AA meeting don’t need to be convinced they have a sin problem. Christians should show up to church the same way, but with an even deeper hope. We don’t need to expect perfection or even social grace from all of our brothers and sisters all of the time.... Continue Reading
Why Won’t the Librarians Blush?
Remember when librarians were considered the frigid do-gooders of society? Today, they no longer know how to blush.
If we don’t oppose events like the tranny story hour, we cede the war by handing over the next generation. These story hours are not an innocent opportunity for nice fairy people to give back to their community. These are confused, sinful people who are after generational acceptance. They want to confuse our children into... Continue Reading
The Comity of Nations: Brief Thoughts on a Useful but Neglected Concept
The notion of minding one’s own country’s business is not the principle which governs contemporary politics.
Those that disregard comity make themselves judges over strangers in foreign places—in many cases ones they have never been, nor ever will be. The revolutionary desire for utopia leads people to work themselves into perpetual anxious fits over things well outside their power or responsibility. Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is...

DEI’s “Grape-Nuts problem”
The University of Florida jettisons its DEI office—and more of us should, too.
DEI delivers the opposite of what it promises. It delivers not diversity but a narrow ideology. It delivers not equity but different advantages and disadvantages based on pre-judged hierarchical group identities. It delivers not inclusion but the systemic coercion and exclusion of those who dare question its methods. On March 1, the University of... Continue Reading
How Feminism Ends
When women want relationships, a post-conservative world, and more in this week's roundup.
Review of “How Feminism Ends”… “if this is the end of feminism, then it doesn’t quite feel fair. If women are finally “free,” then why is it still so hard to be female? And why, after all of our hard work, are the best parts of history still made by males?” Ginerva Davis has... Continue Reading
Resetting Global Anglicanism as Reformed and Catholic
For Anglicans Scripture is not the only authority in the church or the Christian life, but it is the final and highest authority, governing other authorities.
The Global Anglican Future Conference and the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches–which combined represent an estimated 85% of Anglicans worldwide in predominately non-Western countries–gathered in April of 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda to produce the Kigali Commitment, which has urged the leadership of the Church of England to repent, and called for a significant reset...

Against Requiring Background Checks
The PCA would set a dangerous precedent with a "shall"...
It is not for the General Assembly to require lower courts or churches to dispose of their property against their will. Writing such provisions into the PCA constitution would set a dangerous precedent and would undermine the freedom and rights of local churches. Overtures to the 51st General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in... Continue Reading
