Everyone needs direction in his or her life, and only a moral framework can provide this. To step outside this damages or destroys personal integrity. Without the moral framework, one cannot make judgments about oneself or one’s environment, as there is nothing to compare them to.   Richard Bradford, director of the Swiss branch of...

I aimed to argue clearly and concisely, based on Scripture, against the use of terms that dehumanize men who – although their wickedness be manifested in monstrous behaviors – nevertheless, remain men created in the image of God, however marred and perverted the divine image in them may be. Unfortunately, today’s culture provides no shortage... Continue Reading

Across the country, churches are embracing physical challenges alongside spiritual devotion. Jiu-Jitsu ministries, weightlifting groups, and faith-based fitness programs are on the rise—not as gimmicks, but as a revival of an older, truer form of Christian manhood…Men who have spent years being told that their instincts are dangerous, their ambition oppressive, and their masculinity a...

Ecclesiastically, we have nothing at stake in the papal election. But culturally we Protestants do have an interest in who the next pope will be. Let’s hope he’s less ambiguous than the last.   The death of Pope Francis has captured the imagination of the wider world and perhaps inevitably raised the question of how... Continue Reading

At root, we are nations who have forgotten what freedom is for, choosing instead to define freedom by what we are free from, such as rules, constraint, or responsibilities. Freedom is always unsustainable for a morally malformed people. The freedom to do however we wish always leads to tyranny, either slavery to one’s own passion or slavery to... Continue Reading

Physicians and other providers with integrity must have the courage to stand up to ideological emperors, especially the ones with no clothes. And as frustrating as it is to be called “anti-science,” Christians must be prepared to defend created reality, and protect... Continue Reading

One can explore economic and other reasons as to why we are having fewer and fewer children. But it is ultimately a spiritual problem. Do we have a will to live? A country that tires of reproducing itself, a country that tires of people, is not just in demographic decline but spiritual decline.   Around... Continue Reading

Publicly disavowing Russell Moore at this point in time is not about one man. It is about fidelity, even if it means saying hard things about one we once counted as “one of us”. It is speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) to warn the beloved bride of Christ of a present danger. Far... Continue Reading

The UK Supreme Court decision is a victory, but it is not the end of the transgender culture wars. It may, however, be the end of the beginning—at least, in the UK. “Transwomen” are not women. That is no longer a dissident declaration, subject to potential prosecution and social ostracization. It is a statement of... Continue Reading

Human beings are made in the image of God—computers never will be. We can use them as tools to glorify God, or to promote the Devil’s work. But at the end of the day our task remains exactly the same in the 21st century as it was in the first—we proclaim Christ “admonishing and teaching... Continue Reading
