Why has the Church Not Spoken Out?
A crisis is a test. With tests, some pass and some fail. There will be a cleansing, a purification of the Church as there was during all the great trials of history.
Whether we believe in God or not, let’s not be afraid of what’s coming. We probably deserve it; in fact we most likely deserve worse. But rather let’s peacefully resist for what is clearly right, good and beautiful because the Human spirit has been victorious ever since our Lord, God and Savior became man and... Continue Reading
Why is the Toy Market Targeting Adults?
Toy companies are expanding special lines of products that appeal to kidults.
The appearance of the kidult is troubling from several non-economic perspectives. It speaks of the state of a decadent culture that embraces childish and immature things. Childhood is a transitory state through which all pass. It can be a time of innocence and happiness where everything is full of wonder and freshness. However, it is... Continue Reading
Radically Orthodox
Athanasius was orthodox, but radical, not conservative. He wanted to vigorously defend the truth.
It’s very rarely the conservatives who achieve anything. It’s the outspoken radicals who get stuff done. It’s they whom we remember. The conservatives value, above all else, the boat not being rocked. The radicals are willing to fight for the truth, even if it gets them exiled. Radically orthodox is where it’s at. Those...

Church, Christians, We Are in a Real Battle: Shepherds, Protect Your Flocks
The early Church once transformed a pagan world (Acts 17;6); however, today the pagan world is transforming the Christian Church.
When we continue to identify our position in Christ with a particular sin, we are in essence denying the redemptive efficacy of Christ’s atonement. What miraculously reborn believer wishes to announce or imply such an affirmation? Denying the redemptive efficacy of Christ’s atonement assuredly rates equal to the heresies of the past that were so... Continue Reading
Welcome to the Fishbowl
We live in a day and age where every statement is public and permanent.
The good news about living in a world where every word is public and permanent is that we have the opportunity to have conversations with those whom we would never be able to have otherwise. And there is the ability to live out the authenticity of our faith to a watching world. Not long... Continue Reading
The Most Dangerous Post-Election Lie
For conservative Christians, it's the idea that politics will deliver us from the persecution to come.
My message to believers is: do not wait to be led! It’s probably not going to happen. Educate yourselves, and start forming these small communities of faith, and networks of communities, so you can have a fighting chance of raising your kids in the faith, and enduring what’s to come. I talk about this in... Continue Reading
On Survey, 1,168 Parents Report Their Kids Encountered Sexually Explicit Content in School
Sex Ed Belongs to Parents Only
Ultimately, 1,195 people took this survey, a pretty good sample size. Of that total, 1,168 reported their children had encountered sexually explicit materials in school. That’s 98 percent of respondents reporting their kids encountered sexually explicit materials at school. Of course, survey participants were self-selecting, so that likely affected the results. Still, 1,168 is a lot... Continue Reading
Democracy Isn’t a Worldview: Politics Can’t Answer Our Deepest Questions
Politics cannot bring salvation, determine morality, provide ultimate meaning, or secure our relationships.
Democracy isn’t a worldview: It’s worldview dependent. The laws a democratic society produces depend on the worldviews of the people who vote and legislate. To treat democracy like a fundamental source of values and a way of seeing reality is to misunderstand democracy, government, and the human condition. Also, it is asking a political system...

What You Should Know About the Respect for Marriage Act
The so-called Respect for Marriage Act is a misnamed bill designed to enshrine same-sex marriage in federal law.
The Respect for Marriage Act was introduced in July and quickly pushed through the U.S. House of Representatives without any public hearings, enabling its proponents to mischaracterize the bill as a simple codification of Obergefell. Let’s be clear: the Respect for Marriage Act is unnecessary and could have a disastrous effect on religious freedom. ... Continue Reading
The Fourth Phase: Persecution?
It is thus difficult to speak out about traditional moral behavior without being “cancelled” or charged with being a Christian nationalist.
Of course, believers’ humble practice of God-honoring heterosexual marriage, though it may be costly, will also bear witness to the joy men and women have in biblical marriage. And in spite of stubborn resistance from opponents in contemporary culture, God’s powerful love and mercy is irresistible, as is his creative wisdom–in making us male and... Continue Reading
