The Dark, Enduring Legacy of Friends
As McGuire put it: “Friends was the entire sexual revolution tied up in one made-for-TV package and wrapped in ‘warm hang out vibes.’”
Most people were too busy laughing to notice; as with many sitcoms, people who morally opposed much of the behavior unfolding onscreen found themselves rooting for illicit hookups, divorces, and laughing at predatory sexual behavior (Joey Tribbiani: “She’s needy, she’s vulnerable—I’m thinking—cha-ching!”) And when religious people consumed the same entertainment as everybody else, it created...

No Hedging. No Paternalism. Just Obedience.
Encourage women to violate 1 Timothy 2:12 in the small places, and it will eventually be acceptable for them to do so in the large places as well.
Anderson seems to have misunderstood the argument that I made in my essay. I did not make the argument that churches should put a “hedge” around the law. Nor did I make the argument that the “slippery slope” is the only reason that women shouldn’t be teaching Sunday School. I made the argument that 1 Timothy 2:12 prohibits... Continue Reading
Should Public Schools Ban Critical Race Theory?
The idea of banning ideas should make any American shudder.
If you are reading this, I suspect you are disturbed by an ideology that segregates people by race; that insists on a racial hierarchy in which entire racial groups are monolithically good or bad; that does away with race-blind tests in the name of progress; and that insists that any inequality of outcome is evidence...

The Government Isn’t God
I’m concerned some Christian leaders will pressure other Christians to get vaccinations so the government will reward us with our freedom to worship.
Many of us have given the government license to believe they can usurp God. We sometimes speak and act like all things belong to Caesar. But God doesn’t exist to serve the government. The government exists to serve God. One of the false gods with the most followers and the most committed worshippers today... Continue Reading
The Problem with Relativism
Objective moral values can logically only exist if there is some absolute set of standards that exist apart from the subjective opinions of mankind,
If there is no God, there are no absolute, objective moral values. This is the ultimate extension of atheism, but very few atheists truly perceive this truth. The only way objective values can exist is if there is a God who has set in place standards which exist above and beyond mankind’s shifting opinions. One... Continue Reading
A Celebration and Lament over Science
There are other things about the world, more secret than the stars.
When David saw the stars and the sun, he praised God. What spectacular new beauties we now have on display, through the discoveries of the twentieth century! These things are so wonderful as to surpass the imaginations of previous generations. And so, the twentieth century and onward should be the greatest century ever, in the... Continue Reading
Judge Denies Christian College’s Request for Religious Protection Against Biden’s LGBT Order
The directive violates both women's sex-based rights and the school's religious liberties.
The lawsuit argued that the rule forces religious schools to violate their religious beliefs and said the order was issued “without notice or the opportunity for public comment.” It further contended that the policy was issued without considering alternative policies that “respect the interests of private religious colleges.” A federal judge rejected a Missouri Christian university’s...

Five Ugly Truths About Critical Race Theory
More accurately, Critical Race Theory is a worldview, not a means of analysis.
Critical Race Theory begins from the underlying operating assumptions that race is constantly being imposed by a “white supremacist” society (“systemic racism”) and that racism is therefore the ordinary state of affairs in society. It believes further that racism is effectively impossible to eradicate within the existing “white supremacist” system and therefore that it has... Continue Reading
Cape Coral church responds as FDLE arrests four in ‘Operation Thou Shalt Not Steal’
"That this isn’t just a crime against our community, they’ve stolen from their creator." - Lauder
The suspects, all Romanian citizens, are accused of stealing donation checks from church mailboxes, hitting as many as 85 churches a day. A variety of aliases were used to deposit stolen checks into numerous bank accounts as well as sending high-value wire transfers to Romania. “We’re more concerned for the peril of the thieves, at...

Fighting the Strongholds at Work in Your LGBTQ+-Identified Child
Paul gives us insight into where the real battlefield is: the spiritual realities at work in your son or daughter’s heart.
We are often far too shortsighted when it comes to doing battle against the issues we see in our children. Typically, parents try everything in their own power to address the behaviors they see. This might look like wanting to talk sense into their child, giving them articles or books to read, rebuking or disciplining them, and... Continue Reading
