41 Million Dependents: What the Food Stamp Crisis Reveals About America’s Soul
They shout “No Kings!” on Saturday and “Feed us, O State!” on Monday.
When the state becomes savior, the Church becomes silent. Families fracture, fathers disappear, and faith fades. Dependency erases dignity, and soon, entire generations forget what self-reliance even means. The economic cost is staggering, but the spiritual cost is devastating. We’ve traded gratitude for grievance, freedom for fear, and prayer for paperwork. When 41 million... Continue Reading
Why the Healers Had to Rebel
Independent clinics, transparent journals, decentralized trials, and cross-border alliances are emerging everywhere.
The pandemic revealed how easily ethics can be replaced by enforcement. But it also revealed how powerful individual conscience can be when it refuses to yield. The awakened physician now understands that moral responsibility cannot be outsourced. To practice medicine ethically is to guard freedom itself. While the old institutions decay, a parallel system is... Continue Reading
Bearing the Sword: When Men Remember Why God Gave It
Strength is not sin when it serves righteousness.
Believers cannot outsource moral courage to politicians. The sword of the Spirit still belongs to us. While civil rulers restrain evil with law, we confront it with truth. But we must not despise those who bear the temporal sword rightly. Both swords—the spiritual and the civil—are gifts from the same God. When wolves prowl... Continue Reading
The Gap Between God and Science is Closing
The war between science and religion should never have been.
The long-running conflict between science and religion was entirely unnecessary. The Bible affirms the goodness of God’s creation in multiple passages. Genesis 1 describes the cosmos as a glorious Temple built for the fellowship of God and man. Psalm 19 argues that the beauty and order of creation points us to the Divine Artist behind it. Job 28 encourages human curiosity... Continue Reading
Can Nigeria’s Church Survive the Storm?
The horrific persecution of Nigeria’s Christians is finally beginning to get some attention. But more is needed than mere outrage or virtue signaling.
Some will say that the causes are too complex for moral clarity, that the violence is part of wider struggles over resources, and that religion is only one lens. That is partly true. But complexity is no excuse for moral opacity. Even where motives are mixed, when terror groups or militias deliberately attack communities identifiable... Continue Reading
Kidnapping of U.S. Missionary Shines Light on Persecution of Christians in Africa
A pattern of kidnappings and ransom demands by jihadists in the region stretches back over a decade.
According to Open Doors International, an organization that monitors and supports persecuted Christians, eight out of the 10 deadliest countries for Christians are in sub-Saharan Africa, where a reported 16.2 million Christians have been displaced. Concern is growing over the whereabouts of Kevin Rideout, an American missionary abducted on October 21 in the West... Continue Reading
In Search of Chivalry
What the best of Christendom called knights to be was a different kind of warrior—humble, honest, fair, dignified in speech and gracious in character.
The genius of knighthood was the genius of Western Christendom itself: at its best, it took the heroic spirit of a warrior people and infused it with the Christian spirit of charity toward others and denial of self. The man who was ready to fight—however noble the cause—was not yet ready to be a knight.... Continue Reading
What Is Antisemitism—and What It Isn’t
We are called to love the Jewish people—but not to idolize a nation.
Hatred toward Jewish people isn’t imagined—it’s measurable. Christians should be the first to condemn it. But condemnation requires definition. Antisemitism is hatred, prejudice, or hostility toward Jews because they are Jews—ethnically, religiously, or culturally… But the modern use of the term has drifted far from its meaning. It is not antisemitic to question the policies of the Israeli... Continue Reading
The U. S. Constitution: A Declaration of Independence from the God of the Bible
The Declaration of Independence declared our independence from Great Britain, and the United States Constitution declared our independence from the God of the Bible.
We are all blinded by the sacred gods of our own time. Maybe, our forefathers were too. However, the Bible gives us the wisdom to guard ourselves from the foolishness that has resulted in the so-called Christian sanctity of “constitutional polytheism,” which is what we have in the United States Constitution. Vivek was right. A... Continue Reading
Western Culture Isn’t Feminized, It’s Transgender
Helen Andrews argues woke culture is the inevitable result of women taking over pivotal industries such as law, media, and medicine.
Our society institutionally discriminates against men. The more than 100 federal feminist “antidiscrimination” laws alone institutionalize systemic bias against men. But so what? If men want to re-assume their responsibilities as leaders of homes, churches, cultural institutions, and government, they cannot take Adam’s line, “The women made me do it.” God didn’t accept that excuse...
