From Best Friends to Platonic Spouses
Some people are taking their friendships to the next level by saying “I do” to marriages without sex.
In the United States, where marriage is incentivized with tax breaks and other couple privileges, getting married to someone with whom you are not romantically attached affords multiple benefits, she said. “A platonic marriage is more than a passing year with a roommate who has different ideas about kitchen cleanliness,” Ms. Conger said. “A platonic...

New Evidence that Porn Use Destroys Your Ability to Have Real, Loving Relationships
Their findings are not ground-breaking, but once again confirm an enormous body of research detailing how porn use destroys real relationships.
In short: If you use porn, you are destroying your ability to have a healthy, happy relationship with a real person. I could tell you dozens of personal stories that illustrate this point; I’m sure most of you could, too. Again, for anyone who wants to quit porn, visit Covenant Eyes. For anyone who wants more...

A Review of Cancel Culture. Edited by Kevin Donnelly
This new volume on cancerous cancel culture is essential reading:
Those who should be speaking out against all this are not, for various reasons. But it is imperative that they do. As Peta says, “This is a war that needs to be fought. If Australia is to flourish, all of us must be confident that, on balance, we can be proud of our country’s history... Continue Reading
Richard Dawkins Blindsided by The Sexual Spaghetti Monster
And now, the man for so long the hero of the anti-religious and the hard atheists, has been cancelled by the AHA for – wait for it – ““demean[ing] marginalised groups using the guise of scientific discourse”.
In other words, just as he has done much of his adult life, Dawkins pulled the lever on some of the excesses of religious groups, this times the trans movement, especially its insistence that a man who calls himself a woman is actually a woman, and not a man after all. That’s the guts of... Continue Reading
My Response To Ambrose University
They didn’t want to make it known that when they say they are allies with black people—they’re lying.
Ambrose wanted me to speak on what they believe black people are supposed to say about racism. They didn’t want me to speak on what the Bible says about racism. They wanted me to preach critical race theory—they didn’t want me to preach Christ. That’s why they’re offended. I don’t deny that my talk is offensive.... Continue Reading
Don’t Reclaim Your Life
The very fact that everything spiraled out of our control is proof that we never had control to begin with.
God may bring you to a time of great peace in which you can once again freely travel the world and pursue your every passion. But he may instead bring you a time of great suffering that is far beyond anything you experienced in 2020. Instead of wearing a mask you may wear chains, instead... Continue Reading
America’s Achilles’ Heel: Powerless Sermons and Prayerless Churches
The strength of the church is in its purity and spiritual power, not in its numbers.
Leonard Ravenhill noted that the Cinderella of the church today is the prayer meeting. The prayer meeting is relegated to a dark corner somewhere in the church on an off night so that there is little expectation that anyone will pay her any attention. She goes about unnoticed, unloved, and uncelebrated, yet she is the... Continue Reading
Zoom, the Pandemic, & the Death of Sacred Spaces
Zoom—as a medium of education and relationship—prevents us from truly connecting because of technology’s nature to divide, distract, and isolate.
Like television or the invention of writing, Zoom makes a promise that it cannot uphold. Those that wish to be monks will be monks wherever they are, but sacred spaces exist to provide a connective tissue for the rest of us. Some instructors have found that Zoom school has been highly effective for the monkish... Continue Reading
Finnish Bishop Elect Charged Over Historic Christian Teachings On Human Sexuality
Rev. Juhana Pohjola, Diocesan Dean and Bishop Elect of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland has been charged by Finland’s Prosecutor General with incitement against homosexuals.
At the same time, he continued, “this does not remove the fact that, according to the Bible and the Christian conception of man, homosexual relations are against the will of God, and marriage is intended only between a man and a woman. This is what the Christian church has always taught and will always teach.”... Continue Reading
Blame the Christian!
We are not servants better than our master but like the world hated Jesus so it will hate us.
We ought not be surprised when the world hates us. For they hated the prophets who came before us. More than the prophets they hated the perfect, sinless, Son of God to the point that He who knew no sin was crucified on the cross at the hands of wicked men for everything His chosen...
