This tendency to affirm Scriptural fiats “for whatever reason” while isolating them from the natural theology employed by the human authors of Scripture is an attempt to be—as C. S.

In the revamping of our culture, Christianity no longer defines morality. Indeed, the very notion of morality has shifted. A new kind of thinking is afoot, a “non-binary” approach, which eliminates clear distinctions. “Binary,” meaning “two,” emphasizes clear definitions, whereas “non-binary” considers everything to be relative.

My ability to be successful at a young age was, in my view, due largely to the foundations I have spoken about, along with my attitude of “doing whatever the work required.” I have been blessed in my ability to adapt to change and to sustain what I learned here as I worked to be...
