Behind identity politics is a spirit hostile to traditional Christianity, analyzing people as victims rather than sinners. The Christian doctrine of particular salvation is also at odds with identity politics, since it cuts across identity groups, and involves the exclusion of part of humanity from final salvation (i.e., that part which does not receive God’s...

In the cases such as Covid-19 and environmental concerns, politics have corrupted the work of scientists by determining  what voices can be heard and those that cannot be heard. Any mischaracterization, either explicitly or tacitly, of the true scientific process is harmful to the scientific community and those of us who depend upon proper science... Continue Reading

The law clearly targets prayer and other “religious practices.” It then defines “sexual orientation” in s 59(3) in so broad a way that the term covers sexual activity as well as sexual attraction. The result is that encouraging someone not to act on a sexual temptation seems to fall within the definition of the phrase “change or suppression... Continue Reading

This is all about preventing people getting the help they are desperately seeking. This is also all about the criminalisation of Christianity. And it is easy to do: simply label all real deal Christians as haters, call the Bible a book of hate speech, and refer to prayer as a hate-filled practice, right up there... Continue Reading

It is not news that Forbes is a believer. She has spoken before about growing up in India where her parents were missionaries of the Free Church of Scotland, which is like the Church of Scotland but with Christianity. However, this profession of faith and the unapologetic way in which it is delivered is entirely... Continue Reading

Simply put, Dawkins got it wrong. The universe we live in has properties one would expect if it were, in fact, designed by a God who had us in mind when He made the place. As Meyer’s book shows, this assumption was an original conviction of many who launched and drove the scientific revolution. It’s... Continue Reading

Title IX of the Civil Rights Act forbids sex-based discrimination in education. Faith-based institutions that uphold biblical definitions for marriage and sexuality can request a religious exemption that allows them to adhere to scriptural beliefs on matters of sexuality.  The legal challenge essentially seeks to restrict students at faith-based institutions that adhere to traditional sexuality and...

By the curse of exile, the paradigm was set – for us who believe, Christ became a curse, the true object of lament, so that as we pass his Cross, if we are ever asked “does it mean nothing to you” our response is this: “His pangs and wrath are the most significant event to... Continue Reading
