Guilty of Christian Nationalism?
The growing politicization of sexual morals and the rejection of traditional governing principles in the West are truly leading us down a path to the normalization of “pagan nationalism.”
We find ourselves in an increasingly divergent clash, not of nationhood but of ultimate worldviews. Certainly the accusation of “Christian nationalism” fails to do justice to the Christian vison. The goal of the Christian faith is not social control but recognition of the cosmic lordship of God the Creator and Redeemer over all things, including... Continue Reading
Tom Hanks Gets Empathy Wrong
In our culture, a straight man playing a gay man in a piece of fictional drama risks being seen as indulging in an act of imperialist aggression.
Hanks is not motivated by a fear that gay actors are not getting roles in Hollywood movies. He is motivated by the desire to avoid, in his words, “inauthenticity”—presumably a critical comment on the dramatic representation of the suffering of gay men by a straight actor. Tom Hanks recently declared that if Philadelphia, the movie that... Continue Reading
Truth Is What Our Schools Need
Seeking “equity,” too many schools are simply giving up on learning standards and an aspiration for excellence.
In the name of “antiracism,” racism is being taught to American children. Fundamental facts of our country and its founding principles are at best being overlooked and at worst being distorted and denied. The following is excerpted from Hostages No More: The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child, published today... Continue Reading
You Know the ‘Thing:’ The Concept of Inherent Rights in the Declaration of Independence
When removing one letter in a word highlights God’s moral order for the world.
There is only one way to out of this moral crisis, and it’s by returning to the concept of a unitary right as an objective divine standard in which all society must conform. The question we are confronted with today is not “what should we do?” Rather it is, “Do we have the moral courage... Continue Reading
Counter-Attack in the War Against Reality
The June 24 reversal of the Roe v. Wade decision signals the first successful counterattack in the decades long war against reality.
The June 24 Dobbs decision is not a pro-life decision. It is a pro-constitution (in which there is no right to abortion) and anti-court decisions made by judicial fiat (like Roe v. Wade). It restores the question of abortion to the people and their elected representatives. It is the first check in what has... Continue Reading
Good Cop, Bad Cop – Theologically Speaking
Great care is needed as we affirm sound teaching.
Their head may be full of theology, but it seems that their heart is empty. They miss what the Spirit of God is trying to do as they go on their little theological crusade. Those folks who are such repeat offenders when it comes to this really demonstrate how little of the heart of God... Continue Reading
Personal Thoughts as June 2022 Closes: A Lamentation
June of 2022 revealed something about us as a nation and a society, that we have as a culture returned to the paganism of the ancient empires of Greece and Rome.
To begin with the month of June was marked by a month-long celebration of two deadly sins, according to God’s divine revelation: pride and sexual immorality. For one, rainbow flags were flown everywhere—especially at the White House. They were also flown with the American flag at many of our embassies in far off places. Such... Continue Reading
Should A Mother be Legally Punished for Aborting Her Baby?
Abortion is murder, and therefore all people who voluntarily participate in abortion should be charged with murder.
In the case of an abortion, the mother’s actions are a cause of the baby’s death, without which the baby would still live. The woman and the abortion doctor partnered to murder her baby. Thus, if the woman voluntarily sought out the abortion—meaning she was not coerced by someone else (who would then be charged... Continue Reading
Overturning Roe v. Wade: A Wide Door for Ministry Opportunities
The Supreme Court decision is an opportunity for believers to minister God’s grace.
But by the power of God and the fervency of His people, the list of hopeful outcomes goes on and on. And standing above all of this, uniting and summarizing every good outcome, is the transcendent and paramount glory of God, who undoubtedly will receive the honor and praise. As you’ve likely heard, on... Continue Reading
Some Early Reactions to the 49th PCA General Assembly
Is the need for energized holiness being replaced by quiet piety? Is therapeutic theology, under the guise of love, replacing the gracious teaching of the Law of God?
Even though the PCA consists of men who love the Lord and love our standards, it is greatly divided. The future still looks dim, but light continues to shine in the most unusual places at the most inopportune times. I attribute this to fervent prayer. Never discount the providence of God to change things. My... Continue Reading
