How An Affair Really Begins
One of the great misconceptions about affairs is that they begin with sex, they don’t.
Through it all, John Owen’s insight remains so crucial: Sin always aims at the uttermost; the smallest sin is but one step to the biggest and most treacherous sin.

From the Bahá’í Faith to Porn to Alpha to Jesus
God has been faithful all during my winding journey to complete surrender.
So there in the bed that I shared with Aaron, I pleaded with God to save me. I already knew that I had to repent: of trying to be holy through a faith that promised perfection; of helping to sell online pornography; and ultimately, of relying on myself. As I prayed in repentance, the fog... Continue Reading

Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?
This unending desire by the left to defend utterly everything about Planned Parenthood and its founder, Sanger, no matter how ugly, really is quite astonishing.
