The Shepherd Who Fights: Ezekiel 34
I’d rather have my kids angry at me today than devoured tomorrow.
Fathers—wake up! If you’re handing your 12-, 13-, 14-year-old unrestricted access to social media, you’re basically throwing them to the wolves and walking away. Would you hand your kid a loaded gun and say, “Have fun, be careful”? No? Then why hand them a phone filled with predators, pornography, and pressure they can’t possibly handle?…Your...

The Hatred of God is Driving the Left’s Political Violence
Only the word of God proclaimed will bring repentance to our pagan culture.
The left sets themselves against God because they cannot deny that “what can be known about God is plain to them” (Romans 1:19). Thus, they know their refusal to acknowledge who He is, ask for forgiveness, and submit to His Son Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will lead them to “receiving in themselves the... Continue Reading
Christianity Isn’t Western
It’s not so much that Christianity is Western, but that Western culture is at root Christian.
Until the year 1,000, there were more Christians outside of the old Roman Empire than within it. It isn’t surprising that artifacts from this rich history will be found….good reminders of how Christianity spread. A pair of recent discoveries underscore how quickly and far-reaching Christianity spread in the first century. They also counter the... Continue Reading
Gattaca Wasn’t Supposed to Be the Plan
Will genetic screening for perfect babies be the new normal?
The fascination with what some call “genetic optimization” reflects deeper Silicon Valley beliefs about merit and success. “I think they have a perception that they are smart and they are accomplished, and they deserve to be where they are because they have ‘good genes,’” said Sasha Gusev, a statistical geneticist at Harvard Medical School. “Now...

Has Silicon Valley Finally Found its God?
The god of technology promises a new world.
We live in a technological age, and have embraced technological advance with abandon, creating what Neil Postman termed a “technopoly,” where technology of every kind is cheerfully granted sovereignty. Or, as Jacques Ellul has written, at least the process of technique designed to serve our ends. Is Google God? Columnist Thomas Friedman posed this... Continue Reading
God Has Got This Covered
Things can change in an instant.
With the hyper-ugly radical left even boasting about seeing more such assassinations of Christians and conservatives, we do not know what the rest of today or tomorrow holds. There may well be more such martyrs in the days ahead. But we keep on with Jesus Christ regardless. Just over 10 days ago no one... Continue Reading
A Christian Atheist?
Cultural Christianity is not Christianity.
Much of the current “vibe shift,” as many are calling it, involves recognizing that secularism can neither satisfy the human soul nor can it build the utopia it promises. But rejecting what is not true is not the same as bowing the knee to the One who is truth. The fruits of Christianity require its... Continue Reading
Be Careful Little Eyes What You See: 5 Ways to Help Our Kids Process Social Media Violence
Our children need to know that watching these acts of violence is not normal or what God intended.
We are so over-exposed to violence these days that it is easy to become numbed to it. It is easy for our children to become so accustomed to acts of violence that they are lulled into believing that these things are normal. The truth is, we need to help our children recognize that violence is... Continue Reading
Evolution is Going Nowhere
Even the best attempts to demonstrate that the universe is meaningless tend to smuggle in language of purpose, transcendence, and wonder.
If the materialists are right, “all that is, or ever was, or ever will be” amounts to nothing. There is no “great adventure” to be found or had. All of the high-sounding rhetoric is a way to talk about the entropy that will end in the “Heat Death” of the universe, where all life, light,... Continue Reading
We Have to Talk About This
The transgender dimension of recent mass shootings.
It would certainly be wrong to argue that everyone with a transgender identity is a potential mass shooter. That would be flatly irresponsible. But it is insanity to argue that the transgender identity has nothing to do with these crimes. The pattern is now undeniable. Most cultural authorities are running scared from any public acknowledgement... Continue Reading
