When The Government Harms People To Help Others
The cure has become worse than the disease. These lockdowns and restrictions are killing lives and livelihoods.
Because of the lockdowns and restrictions over COVID-19, 40% of American adults say they’re struggling with mental health and drug use. Because of the government reactions to COVID-19, up to 115 million people worldwide have fallen into extreme poverty this year. Abortion rates, suicide rates, crime rates, extreme hunger rates, and unemployment rates are all significantly higher across... Continue Reading
Perverse Freedom
Pro-abortion rhetoric is familiar, but in recent years, the movement has taken an ominous turn.
Not long ago many abortion advocates argued that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” Hillary Clinton once claimed to hold this view. To be fair, many continue to see abortion as a tragic necessity. For these women, the pain of abortion is real, and they deserve our compassion. However, this view of abortion as... Continue Reading
What Can We Learn from God’s Quarantine Laws? Four Truths for Today from Leviticus 13–15
The instructions from Leviticus are out of step with 2020’s COVID restrictions which are more appropriately called “protective sequestrations” not quarantines.
In these days, where church gatherings are restricted and the Internet has become the greatest tutor of so many, we desperately need to think biblically about all aspects of life, including quarantine laws. Let me urge you to go read Leviticus 13–15 and consider if your practices of quarantine are something that resonates with God’s... Continue Reading
Episcopal Church Will be Dead in 20 Years, Researcher Says; Denomination Continues ‘Dire’ Decline
Burge estimates that by 2040, the denomination's membership could fall to 0.7% of the U.S. population, half of its current size.
“The overall picture is dire,” the Rev. Dwight Zscheile, an Episcopal priest and professor, according to ChurchLeaders. “Not one of decline as much as demise within the next generation unless trends change significantly.” He said that at this rate, “there will be no one in worship by around 2050 in the entire denomination.” Although offering pledges...

I Want My Kids (And Your Kids) To Be Privileged
The language of privilege is dangerous because it casts certain good things in life as “privilege” for which we should feel guilty .
Not all kids have the same privileges as my kids and not all parents have the same opportunities right now. But, we can all have the same goals. We can seek to raise our kids according the Bible’s commands and expectations. We can also seek to extend similar opportunities to other children. We can volunteer... Continue Reading
The Road To Hell Is Paved With Eggshells
Not all of Hades’ highways are covered with ‘good intentions.’
It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I believe in many cases, this is true. With our current social situation, I’d like to offer a different picture. Those living in constant fear of saying the wrong thing, expressing doubt in the unapproved direction, or being found to hold... Continue Reading
The Good American: What Samaria Says About Racial Hostility
Jesus knew, very personally, the pain and strain of ethnic hostility.
“The ethnic and cultural boundary between the Jews and the Samaritans,” J. Daniel Hays writes, “was every bit as rigid and hostile as the current boundary between Blacks and Whites in the most racist areas of the United States” (From Every People and Nation: A Biblical Theology of Race, 163). Hays’s excellent book alerted me... Continue Reading
Children, Education, and the Future of the West
Schools today are more about indoctrination than education.
If you want to know why the West is in such bad shape, and why so many folks seem to have no clue as to what is going on, this is a big part of the reason. We have turned our schools over to the activists and the secular leftists for the most part. And... Continue Reading
Why Your Organization Should Not Do Diversity Training
“Diversity” training is not likely to create the harmonious, diverse working environment its advocates advertise.
“Diversity” activists have two goals in mind, and those are both of the most likely outcomes of your organization’s “diversity” civil war. Either the organization folds to their pressure and becomes a “diversity” activist organ that diverts the maximum amount of resources to “diversity,” or it collapses, which will be rationalized as another racist organization...

What Christians Can Expect From Joe Biden And Kamala Harris
The incoming administration will impose moral positions on Christians that are repugnant to us and infringe upon the exercise of religious faith in the public square.
Biden has also indicated he supports the so-called “Equality Act,” which has passed in the House and been championed by Harris in the Senate. This legislation is designed to impose gender ideology even beyond schools and other institutions that receive federal funding. Its purpose is to force businesses and other public institutions not merely to... Continue Reading
