Why Do We Care About History?
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Darryl Cooper shows why the study of the past matters.
We bring courage to historical study because it takes courage to confront the realities of human sin as it manifested itself in the past. And we need the courage to avoid simple explanations about past events and personalities. History also requires that we exercise justice to the dead. We avoid cherry-picking from the past for...

Memorizing the Bible
How is one to get started memorizing Bible passages?
One can begin with the shortest verse in the Bible, John 11:35, “Jesus wept.” Some might wonder how memorization of such a short passage could be beneficial. Any passage memorized comes from a context and each text stored in the memory can be the key to remembering the content of its chapter. Why did Jesus... Continue Reading
Why I Do Not Use the Word Ethnicity
The four common marks of a biblical nation are a common birth, a common border, a common language, and a common religion.
To pursue this objective the word nation was replaced by the word ethnicity. But it won’t work! It may have some success in Christian families, in the church were members of various nations all change their allegiance to Christ, and it may have some success within a common geographical boundary where the Ten Commandments of...

How then Shall We Educate?
The Problem with Parenting Minimalism
It’s not enough to know what is good and what is true; we must come to love what is good and love what is true. We are now in the realm of the affections, and suddenly the parenting terrain is vast and the task before us utterly daunting. For now we will no longer be satisfied with filling our...

An Immigrant in Ohio’s Thoughts on Springfield
Sometimes, both sides are wrong.
Leftists have been quick to dismiss the real issues in Springfield and conservatives have been just as fast to sensationalise it. I know some conservatives do not want to hear this, but the truth is, we have become guilty of much of what we hate about the Left. As a Ghanaian-Canadian immigrant in Ohio,... Continue Reading
A Recovered Martyn Lloyd Jones Sermon Describes This Moment in Evangelical Theology
An ecumenical strain marks certain corners of the contemporary Protestant theological academy.
Rome has repented nothing since 1517 and has only changed tactics in attempting to bring us under her tyranny. As with the Anglicans in 1977, so with many evangelicals today. These men have forgotten that false teachers come in sheep’s clothing (Matt. 7:15); that bad company ruins good morals (1 Cor. 15:33); that Rome and... Continue Reading
Is the New Pro-Choice GOP Committing Political Suicide?
Each of us is shut up to the Ruler and Judge of men and nations (Romans 14:12). Therefore let each earnestly seek his mind, and then, having found it, vote as his or her conscience dictates.
Speaking personally, I judge that at times it may be necessary for me to vote for a better pro-choice candidate in order to avoid the election of a worse one and the dire consequences that would ensue. Pro-life stalwart Steven Mosher agrees, arguing that only a Trump victory—unlikely without the support of pro-lifers—gives hope of... Continue Reading
Churchill Wasn’t the Bad Guy
Deconstructing everything leads to false history.
Because Churchill insisted on fighting, Cooper [popular historian] suggested, he is the real villain of the war. Churchill, he said, wanted war to make up for his part in the disaster at Gallipoli in World War I. Though nothing in Churchill’s writings suggests this, Hitler clearly articulated his intentions and, despite what Cooper claimed, it was not to pursue... Continue Reading
Politics, Conscience, and the Church: The Why, What, and How of Political Disagreement
All Christians care about justice, but we don’t always agree about how to identify injustice and how to right those wrongs.
While Christians may not like the alternatives, voting for a party that celebrates murder in the womb, transgenderism, and a host of other sexual deviancies is at best exceedingly unwise and at worst sinful. Christians live as dual citizens of an earthly nation and the heavenly kingdom. To paraphrase Aristotle, politics is the science... Continue Reading
How Religion Could Break Up Democrats’ Trusty Voting Blocs
David French’s friends on the left could, by their border lawlessness, facilitate his worst nightmare, MAGA success at the polls.
I’m not saying that if you love God, you have to vote Republican. I am saying that God’s Ten Commandments should inform our votings for and our votings against. And too bad for “progressives” if they continue to forget and scorn the Lord’s bedrock guidance. As the old saying goes, the Word of God is... Continue Reading
