Hospitality in a Time of Food Allergies and Disorders
Tips and Tricks for Food Allergies and Disorders
If creating a meal for someone with multiple allergies is not an option, create a gathering that doesn’t include a meal. Have a game night and instead of a meal provide some store-bought safe snacks. Things like chips, salsa, and popcorn are usually great for most people with allergies and food disorders. By creating an... Continue Reading
Bishop Barron in “Frank Disagreement” with Synod on Synodality’s report on “Development of Moral Teaching”
Synodality’s claim that advances in the sciences require an evolution in the Church’s moral teaching on human sexuality.
The bishop also noted that during discussions at the October synod assembly, there was a “perceived tension between love and truth,” particularly around the issue of outreach to the LGBT community. “Practically everyone at the synod held that those whose sexual lives are outside of the norm should be treated with love and respect, and, again,...

On Culture War, Doug Wilson, and the Moscow Mood
Where the Mood Misfires-A Couple of Concrete Examples
If you are a mature, grounded Christian in a good church, with a good sense of discernment, you can find a number of helpful things from the world of Moscow. But there’s a difference between snacking on Moscow once you are already full of good Christian discipleship and feasting on Moscow for three square meals... Continue Reading
Israel, Hamas, and Evangelicals
Evangelical support for Israel is not grounded in a putatively biblical framework, but rather in prudential considerations.
Indeed, there are many prudential reasons for Christians as Citizens to support Israel. Among them, Israel is the only free, democratic nation in the Middle East. Also, Israel is a close ally of the United States, sharing a similar cultural heritage, values, and interests. Lastly is the moral imperative. The meaning of Israel is powerfully... Continue Reading
Love the Sinner; Hate the Movement
Our job is to love the sinner enough to call them to repentance. And to hate the movements that accost them.
Love always seeks the best for a person. And what is best for a person is what God says in His Word. We must love men and women who are being led to the slaughter enough to point them away from these diabolical fantasies, the damned identity politics dreamt up by demons and instead bid...

No, I *AM* Spiritually Closer With Evangelicals Who Reject Certain Tenets Of “Classical Theism” Than With Classical Trinitarians Who Reject The Reformed Doctrine Of Justification
The church must be vigilant and never forget that Rome affirms the person of Christ while denying the work of Christ, which makes her an enemy of Christ and no amount of Trinitarian orthodoxy can remedy that reality.
Fellowship among evangelicals will always be along a vast theological continuum of spiritual closeness whereas with devout Roman Catholics spiritual closeness is a binary consideration. There is none. Let us not confuse sanctification and fellowship within the body with evangelizing those outside the evangelical church. Our personal spiritual affinity toward other professing Christians should be... Continue Reading
The Rise of Ethical Cannibalism
The triumph of the transgender movement will inevitably lead to cannibalism.
Transgenderism seeks the ultimate victory of technology over nature—the goal of science at its very origins, “the conquest of nature.” You can ask my friends (if I have any left) whether I predicted that transgenders would soon outrank gays in the new morality, a morality which judges based on who is most committed to the...

On Preparing Yourself for Corporate Worship
If you find yourself wanting more out of your church’s worship services, then take ownership and consider doing the following.
By simply taking 5-10 minutes to read and meditate on the text your pastor is preaching in advance, you’ll position yourself to listen better. Maybe even read the footnotes in a study Bible as well. This will be easy to do if your pastor is preaching verse by verse through a book of the Bible. You... Continue Reading
Are Evangelicals Selling Their Souls for Israel?
The October 7 attack on Israel was brutal, barbaric, and criminal. On that tragic day, world opinion was squarely behind Israel.
With this in mind, it’s hard to believe the numbers are exaggerated. In fact, the situation could be much more dire. The question Evangelicals must answer is this, “Can Christians continue to support Israel’s wholesale slaughter of civilians without losing their soul?” The question should be answered with all haste because a genocide is taking place...

What Is the Spectrum of Major Views on Political Theology? A Proposed Taxonomy of Seven Views on Religion and Government
Christians are becoming more interested in political theology because what seemed to be a neutral public square is now an increasingly polarized battleground.
At this moment in my American context, I think it is wise for Christians not to prematurely separate from each other based on different political theologies. The reason is that the orcs are not just at the gates; they are infiltrating the city as citizens and magistrates. While a sexual revolution is rapidly transforming our... Continue Reading
