The Party of Infertility and Death
The Democratic National Convention begins in Chicago.
It is increasingly clear that the Democrats really are the party of sterility and death. No less than The New York Times predicted that the DNC will be a display of “unbridled abortion politics.” Unbridled indeed. Harris and Walz represent the most ardently pro-abortion ticket in American history. The Democrats are gathering in Chicago this... Continue Reading
Christians Banned as Fathers to the Fatherless
Regulations refusing Christian care in the foster and adoption systems are a bad idea.
As of July 1, federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Administration for Children and Families, implemented new policies for all state-run foster care programs. Advocates claim these changes provide “safe and proper care” for children by ensuring their safety “from harassment, mistreatment, and abuse.” Specifically, the new rules... Continue Reading
Kids Are Not the State’s
Children belong to God, entrusted to parents.
Christians should be the first to proclaim that kids do not belong to the state. Like all human beings, children belong first to God, and He has entrusted them to mothers and fathers. Only in loco parentis do secondary authorities like relatives, neighbors, and teachers step in. To reverse this order has more in common with the... Continue Reading
Evangelicals for Harris
Here’s what you need to know.
The group aims to convince evangelicals of the Christian bona fides of Kamala Harris, but they have to distort orthodox Christianity to do so. The group’s website features a page devoted to “Kamala’s Faith Story,” which is, in fact, a story, although not a Christian one. It includes no mention at all of Jesus Christ... Continue Reading
Neo-Confederates Among Us? A Cultural Misunderstanding Considered
We can condemn slavery in general, and its attendant abominations, without thereby wholly condemning those that lived in the Southern society that approved it, and without disapproving all else that they did.
As suggested by my examples above, there are many of us in the pews in the PCA who think differently than Mrs. French and who take exception to this movement of historical condemnation. We recognize that one can condemn slavery in general, and its attendant abominations like separating families in particular, without thereby wholly condemning... Continue Reading
Fathers, Families, and the Republic
Fathers are the key to all government.
Fathers have their job in the home. But they must also do their part as free citizens of a free republic, and keep your government limited to its proper sphere, limited to the good for which God gave it. What is that good? It is protecting the conditions for moral thriving, family thriving, wealth creation,... Continue Reading
When Therapy Harms Instead of Helps
Excessive mental health therapy may do more harm than good.
Therapeutic treatment for mental conditions involves interaction with one’s sadness, whatever may have caused it. In group therapy, patients listen and theorize with others about their sadness. In individual therapy, patients rehearse their own sadness, often for months and even years at a time. In both cases, the focus is on looking within. This, Shrier... Continue Reading
Search Engines Are Not Value Neutral
Is a search engine a genuine database of knowledge, or have software engineers designed search engines to reflect the people using them?
Search engine companies such as Google have claimed that such SEME is not possible, and they seek to operate with transparency for the processes that inform their search engine algorithms. The chances are high that search engine companies do their best to operate in a fair and transparent manner. Nevertheless, this doesn’t preclude or eliminate... Continue Reading
How Christians Can Fight the War on Lies
As a Christian, you must stand in defense of objective reality and reject the claim that reality can be subjective.
How should we wage battle in the war on lies? As in everything, we must follow Jesus’s lead. First John 3:8 tells us, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” Jesus came to destroy the work of the Devil, and the work of the Devil is spreading... Continue Reading
Cozying Up with the World
The Church of England continues its descent with its theology of sex.
The account provided on the Church of England’s website indicates that the discussion was infused with the usual pious jargon. The archbishop of Canterbury captures the sentiment nicely: “I cannot imagine the Church of England without any particular group within it, and without her reaching effectively to anyone outside it through inclusion and justice, lived in...
