The Boys Feminism Left Behind
You don’t upend a 12,000-year-old social order without experiencing cultural side effects.
The economic rise of women represents a seismic shift in gender relations. It has broken the chains of dependency that held women down—but also held the nuclear family together. The traditional institution of fatherhood, based on a provider and protector role, has been almost completely deconstructed. Millions of men are being benched as a result. A... Continue Reading
Hey PCA Friends, You Paying Attention?
There is no great difference between Revoice, which some in the PCA tried to excuse, and Matthew Vines who those in the PCA rejected.
It is a moment to point out that many of my friends in the PCA, willing to deal Biblically and compassionately with people struggling with sin have opened the door to those who do not want to struggle with sin, but normalize sin to make the sin no longer a sin. Some of my... Continue Reading
The Ghastly Truth about “Gender Transitioning” Is Coming Out, and Liberal Elites Can’t Stop It
Facts about the damage caused by transgenderism are forcing their way into the mainstream, one story at a time.
Children who have been ruined by transgender ideology are coming forward and speaking “their truth” on every platform available to them, and their stories are heartbreaking. And photos of children who have undergone transition surgery…are horrifying to people even when those posting them are doing so positively. (LifeSiteNews)—It is no surprise that progressives are...

Into The Anthropological Chaos
It is hard to find one high-profile critic of the movement who was taken with real seriousness by Revoice advocates.
And now we have the apparent arrival of gender ideology into the mix. I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I predict that even this will be blamed on the conservatives and the traditionalists because they were intransigent and not loving enough to the first iteration of Revoice. But whatever... Continue Reading
The Case for Kids
The paradigmatic affliction of the Old Testament, a barren womb, is now the great desire of nations.
When Genesis 5 traces the line from Adam to Noah, the refrain “and he died” is a reminder of the curse of death—but that each man had a son is a reminder of the promise that comes through birth (Gen. 3:15). The God who has put eternity into our hearts (Eccl. 3:11) also means to... Continue Reading
When the Family Is Abolished, People Starve
Mao sought to abolish the family during his Great Leap Forward. Instead of paradise, the outcome was the worst man-made famine in history.
The peasants “were swollen with starvation, while the cadres were swollen with overeating.” The destruction of the family in China didn’t mean “more care, more love.” Mao knew. Communist Party Vice-Chair, Liu Shaoqi told Mao, “History will record the role you and I played in the starvation of so many people, and the cannibalism will... Continue Reading
Winsomeness Redux: Focusing on the Virtues Expected of Christ’s Followers
Winsomeness, like attractiveness, is in the eye of the beholder. Its essence does not lie so much in what one is, but in how one is perceived by others.
Given that history, we would be better served to abandon the desire for winsomeness and all attempts to repurpose it and make it our own, and to instead return to Scripture’s ideas and terms regarding the multi-faceted virtue which is to be exhibited by the followers of Christ. President Kruger is right in his aim... Continue Reading
How PCA Complaints Work: Against BCO Amendment Item 12
Item 12 is an amendment to BCO 43 that would require complaints be filed 10 days before a meeting of the court alleged to be in error.
For the sake of argument, even if we grant that the lower court’s procedure should mirror that of the higher court, this amendment misses the mark. Instead of adding a filing deadline, chapter 43 of the BCO ought to be upended and rewritten, particularly adding the complainant’s right to appear and present an argument to... Continue Reading
Gender Transition for Minors: What Does the Research Say?
Contrary to what is consistently filling our newsfeeds, there is a disturbing lack of evidence that intervening in a child’s gender development produces beneficial results of any kind. More than that, many studies are showing a strong potential for lasting harm.
Too many young people have been made pawns in a cultural game that pits reality against itself, convinced that their developmentally common feelings mean they somehow were “born in the wrong body,” and unaware that these feelings will likely dissipate once puberty and the spell of social contagion run their course. Even while many... Continue Reading
Our Bodies Give Witness
Composting denies that each individual is a special creation made in God’s own image and precious in God’s sight.
For four hundred years while the Israelites endured slavery in Egypt, every time they walked past Joseph’s grave, they remembered the promise that one day they’d take those bones to the Promised Land. Joseph’s bones were a visible reminder of God’s promise to the Israelites. Our grave is a reminder to all who pass by that... Continue Reading
