Distinctions among the unborn, and between the unborn and the newly born, in matters of life and death—like distinctions between the newly born and the toddler or you and me in such matters—are and would be subject to heightened scrutiny. Some distinctions would survive an evenhanded and careful scrutiny. Others, like Whelan’s examples, would not... Continue Reading

Critical race theory suggests my identity—and therefore my allegiance—is with Daunte Wright, not Kim Potter. But that’s not true. My skin colour isn’t more important than my humanity. Daunte Wright’s and Kim Potter’s skin colours aren’t more important than their humanity either. Daunte Wright isn’t made in my image. He is made in the image of God—just... Continue Reading

The worst sort of “inclusion” that the religious leftists are pushing has to do with salvation. They claim that God loves everyone, accepts everyone, rejects no one, and therefore all people are – or will be – saved. There is no hell, there is no wrath of God, and there is no narrow road to...

I know that I am culpable for my Twitter feed. The specifics of all the social media algorithms may remain opaque, but the principle is readily known: the more you click, the more you get. And I certainly got. For every doofus Twitter comment I clicked, I got ten more comments in my feed. My... Continue Reading

Sure, as a Christian I realise that at the end of the day cultures will come and go, nations will rise and fall, and societies will only thrive temporarily. As C. S.

While I agree that we should be constantly open to correction, that we’re often blind to our own failings, and that we should always listen with humility to rebuke, I think that this ‘culture of apology’ is not only wrong but actively dangerous. We are minimizing the importance of honesty. We are building a world... Continue Reading

It is certainly the case that neo-Darwinian evolution has not been proved.  But we probably shouldn’t say that it is “just a theory” because a theory (in the primary, scientific sense of the word) has supporting evidence, whereas neo-Darwinian evolution does not.  When people say, “evolution is just a theory,” they probably mean it is...

The Lord made us to belong to Him first and to one another second. The fear of being disliked by people can threaten that order. Here’s how: By wanting to be desirable in the eyes of people, we often devalue the superior affection of God toward us. We forget that our main problem has never... Continue Reading

Li said he was confined in a windowless room for “eight or nine months.” During that time, he was beaten, verbally abused, and “mentally tortured” by staff.   Chinese Christians said they were imprisoned and routinely beaten by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials in “transformation” centers designed to make them renounce Christianity, according to a...
