Father Hunger Fuels the Persistence of Father’s Day
Despite the pernicious influence identity politics has had on our culture, America still longs for devoted fathers.
Our culture has been trending toward a shallower portrayal of fathers who lack strong character or even a masculine identity. In recent decades, identity politics has inundated our culture with portrayals of fathers who identify as homosexual and/or transgender, such as in shows like “Modern Family” or “Transparent.” In large part, that’s because flooding popular...

Let’s Stop Hyper-Spiritualising Christian Counselling
We can’t deal with spiritual problems by ignoring the rest of our lives.
When Christians really struggle—and all of us will, at different times—it seems that it’s automatically assumed the fundamental problem is a spiritual one. We conclude that something must be wrong in our relationship with God. Our Christian counselling tends to be over-spiritualised. Thus our solutions are merely spiritual, believing the struggles to be spiritual. But... Continue Reading
Gender in the Void
The new definition of gender does not allow us more freedom to have more genders.
It throws the very concept of gender into the void, causing all genders to lose all meaning. Of course, that is precisely what a handful of critical gender theorists want. Still, many believe their gender gives them certain rights and protections under the law, but if gender goes, so do their rights associated with it.... Continue Reading
The Limits of Secularity
Has American secularism reached its peak?
Why might secularism be waning among Generation Z? Perhaps this is a move of the Spirit to turn the hearts of people toward Christ in a time of trouble and tumult. History shows that God often moves in a powerful way during the most troubling times in the world. We should be thankful for the... Continue Reading
The Art of (Culture) War Requires Knowing Your Opponent
Minimizing collateral damage will go a long way toward helping us secure victory.
The family has been under attack for decades by forces eager to control terms and take territory when it comes to ideas around sex and marriage. Radical ideologues have seized control of academic institutions, government agencies, and media companies. The question for pro-family conservatives is not whether these ideas need to be defeated. The issue is... Continue Reading
Joy in Evening Worship
A number of features of evening worship that are striking.
A third striking aspect of Sunday evening worship was that there seemed more time for prayer. Often the pastoral prayer in the evening service was longer, and we prayed more slowly, so to speak. The concerns of the congregation which were shared throughout the day could be brought before the Lord in the evening, whether... Continue Reading
A Speech to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 on a Christian Nation
Traveling back to July 4, 1787 to hear a proposed speech to the Constitutional Convention.
One purpose of the present language [on Article VI, Clause 3 on no religious tests] is to avoid a national church like the Church of England. All the states are opposed to a national church but not to a public recognition that this is a Christian nation. No denomination of the Christian Faith must rule... Continue Reading
You Are Not Your Desires
“Homosexuality” is a construct that denies people’s humanity.
We do not go looking to the experience of our desires to validate an identity. We go to Scripture. The fact of “naturally occurring” experiences or desires tells us nothing about the appropriateness of those occurrences or desires. “If it feels good, do it” is devastating as an ethic. It is a cultural myth... Continue Reading
Decadence and Desire
What is the root cause of our modern moral decline?
If young people are taught to look at history only through the lenses of power and oppression, they will conclude that power and oppression are everything. Conversely, let them be introduced first to the genuinely great historical deeds, philosophical ideas, literary creations, and works of art of which humans have been capable. Then they will...

June Should Be Fatherhood Month
Replace the symbols of the gay regime.
Pastor Michael Foster has been showcasing the glories of fatherhood using #30DaysofFatherhood on X. He has posted a video of a father having a water balloon fight with his kids, demonstrating the importance of fathers being involved in the lives of their children. At a time when fathers, and masculinity overall, have been attacked from... Continue Reading
