The Reality of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is now the third-biggest criminal industry in the world (after illegal drugs and arms trafficking), with estimated profits of $150 billion a year.
For all the commendable political and practical solutions, the ultimate and longest-lasting solutions are spiritual, and begin with sharing in God’s heart for the oppressed. Throughout the Bible, He is revealed as a God of justice (Isa. 30:18) who loves justice (61:8). For God, justice does not just mean punishing evildoers but also protecting and delivering...

No U-turns Allowed
You are free to move away from the previously established norms, but woe betide anyone who chooses to move back towards them.
Mankind’s agenda is to keep God out of the picture. You are to be true to yourself, as long as the self you are being true to resembles nothing like the self which God designed men and women to be. Yet the path to finding our true selves is found in the God we are... Continue Reading
Harassing Jack Phillips
The things of the world are at war with the things of God and in this world, the world is going to win these fights.
God’s team ultimately wins. Victory is already assured. But in the ever-quickening pace to the final day, the world will seem to have the upper hand. Conservatives need to stand with Jack Phillips. Conservatives also need to be smart. When you start using the government to impose your values on others, the other side will... Continue Reading
Rendering Treatment, Refusing Transformation (and Destruction): Preserving Medical Conscience Rights
Scientists employed by government-owned labs, perhaps working behind the walls of classified security, should not face pressure to conform with objectionable experimentation.
Religious people must be able to criticize the transformationist agenda in the public square. We live in a highly religious world, and America’s roots are in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Our society has also been enriched by religious diasporas from around the globe, bringing people who seek religious and other freedoms to our shores. It is wrong to... Continue Reading
Whither Christianity in the West?
Bill Muehlenberg
The spiritual centre of gravity has shifted massively over the past half century. The Christian West basically is no more. Now we have the post-Christian West which is quickly morphing into the anti-Christian west. But that does not mean that God has abandoned planet earth. It may seem at times that he has at least...

Which Abortion ‘Restrictions’ Restrict Abortion?
While it may currently be an exercise in futility, there is still considerable value in passing pro-life legislation.
Our dedication to pursuing justice for the unborn should not be abandoned simply because we have been losing the fight for half a century. Each time a federal court blocks newly passed pro-life laws, it highlights once again how abortion precedents are not only unjust but often opposed by the public. We should keep passing...

The World’s Most Amazing Camera: Part 6 – Variations on a Theme
Each solution is well-designed, and we do not find any “in-between,” partially functioning eyes as if they were evolving.
Sighted organisms employ a wide variety of different designs for their visual system. But each system functions only if all its essential components are intact, without a trace of evolution. There is also evidence of the fall of man. Though neo-Darwinian evolution is not seen, evidence of “devolution” and degradation is abundant. Some animals have... Continue Reading
My Woke Employees Tried to Cancel Me. Here’s How I Fought Back and Saved My Nonprofit.
After years of serving victims of trauma, Grace Daniel and her husband came under attack by employees who embraced "woke" ideology. Instead of letting their organization flounder, Grace fought back.
I am convinced that critical social justice can and will be defeated ultimately for the sole reason that it’s so fundamentally misaligned with reality. However, the tragic truth is that much collateral damage is being done to individuals and institutions where this ideology has already taken root. The more people who decide to take a...

John Bertram Phillips – A Bruised Reed Firmly Planted
Through this rise to success and fame, J. B. Phillips lived with a clinical and often debilitating form of depression and anxiety.
The contrast between the torment J. B. Phillips revealed in some of his most intimate confessions and the exciting and joyous discovery and proclamation of God’s nature, works and revelation that he expressed in the majority of his writings is not a contradiction. It’s only a manifestation of what all Christians experience, in varying degrees... Continue Reading
Gender Dysphoria: A Growing Concern Among Children and Teens
Gender dysphoria is historically rare, but is now spreading like a social contagion.
Here is what gender ideologues do not tell you: if a confused child is simply left to grow up on her own, she will eventually become comfortable in her own body 80-95% of the time. Our children do not need chemicals and surgery. What they need is our patience and kindness. As some may... Continue Reading
