Truth gained by reason provides the substance and limitations for the imagination which works to give meaning to the appearances of life. Imagination’s creativity must give meaning to what is, which is to say, wherever imagination works creatively, it must give public meaning to reality.   Growing up in the 1950s in a rural village...

There are increasing encroachments of Islamic culture into modern British life—not as an expression of tolerance, but rather an expression of dominance.   Who had football clubs promoting Islam and celebrating Ramadan on their bingo card for 2026? Not me, but then maybe I am out of touch. I was astonished when I heard of... Continue Reading

I have come to realize that “truth” always remains true regardless of whether it is expressed in “love” or not.  In the same sense, “love” does not remain “love” when it acts contrary to God’s eternal “truth.”  Thus, any sexual immorality that is practiced, allegedly “in love” but against God’s communicated “truth.” is and remains...

Buckley, the founder of National Review, host of The Firing Line, and... Continue Reading

AI is a program; it does what it is made to do. It repeats and responds to prompts from the bank of information it has. Some have looked to AI to fill the void they find when their life lacks the intimacy of a relationship, or at least intimacy without the challenges that come from... Continue Reading

The seemingly modest, modernist claim that value judgments are merely subjective feelings, if followed through consistently, ends not in enlightenment but in the destruction of the very humanity that was supposed to be liberated.   In 1943, C. S. Lewis wrote a book with incredible predictive power, The Abolition of Man. He was able to... Continue Reading

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: you are not your attractions, you are not your sufferings, you are not your own. You have very real temptations and very real troubles, but you have a great God.   I’m thankful to God for the opportunity to share this vignette of my testimony. Truthfully, I share my...
