Like Father, Like Son
By and large many Asian Americans grow up with semi-absent fathers.
Two years ago, I became a father myself. The pregnancy process was marked by joy and excitement, but underlying it all were deeply embedded fears. What if I become like my dad? What if I follow in the footsteps of my dad, just like he followed in the footsteps of his dad? What if I... Continue Reading
The Prototypical Man
Because our world and life view is not constructed from within, but provided from without in Holy Scripture, it is inevitable that we are ridiculed and even vilified for daring to challenge the received wisdom of today’s world.
Despite the claims of progress made by more modern generations, far from having a clearer view of a ‘norm’ against which our humanness should be measured, we have regressed and have all but abandoned the very notion that such a thing exists. Ours is the generation of free choice and free expression. An age in... Continue Reading
Pragmatism and Postmodernism
Pragmatic philosophy says that everything is relative because ultimate, transcendent truth does not exist.
There are moral and absolute standards in our society that are continually under attack and, seemingly, are crumbling under our feet all around us. The culprit behind this is Pragmatic philosophy coupled with postmodernist thinking. 28 For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and... Continue Reading
6 Crazy School District Responses To Parents Mad About LGBT Indoctrination Of Preschoolers
An Illinois school district's leaders heard from upset parents after the children started talking about what they were learning about LGBT sex in school. They responded so badly, they should resign.
These preschoolers and kindergarteners were taught “Sometimes people use their bodies to help them know their gender, and some people know their gender in their heart.” Also: “If you have two mommies, they can be called LESBIANS. That means that they are two women who love each other.” Last week I wrote about a... Continue Reading
UK’s First Chick-Fil-A Restaurant Announces Closure Eight Days After Opening Following LGBT+ Rights Backlash

How Abortion Normalizes Unjust Killing
Abortion advocates insist that we make peace with abortion. In her book Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights, feminist Katha Pollitt says we should stop apologizing for the practice. She asks, “Why can’t a woman just say, This wasn’t the right time for me?” (10). Only those with a deep contempt for the female sex question her... Continue Reading
What Lenin Said About Christians and Socialism
“Religion is opium for the people,” wrote Lenin in December 1905, echoing his hero, Karl Marx. “Religion is a sort of spiritual booze.”
Lenin continued, stating that in order “to combat the religious fog… we founded our association, the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party, precisely for such a struggle against every religious bamboozling of the workers.” Lenin wanted a political system “cleansed of medieval mildew.” He wanted to halt “the religious humbugging of mankind.” Editor’s note: This article...

What is Science?
Over the course of time, as scientists change their view of what they find interesting and plausible, the definition of science will change and evolve along with their interests.
There has to be some other criteria for science. If the definition of science is prescriptive, who gets to decide what counts as science? Scientists? Philosophers? God? Moreover, is science a field of study (“the natural world”)? Or is it a method of study (“the scientific method”)? Our apparently simple question has a complex set of answers. ... Continue Reading
Dangerous Descent
How Darwinian thought seeped into every cultural crevice, and what we can do to counter it today.
Darwin’s theory wasn’t just about change over time—it was that we’re part of an accidental process. So Darwin has been the greatest gift to people who would like to deny that God exists. But it’s gone way beyond that: We’ve seen Darwinism used to devalue human life, because Darwin thought humans are basically animals. ... Continue Reading
Christian Doctor Fired For Refusing To Use Preferred Gender Pronouns Loses Legal Battle
UK doctor David Mackereth says he was terminated for his refusal to use transgender patients’ preferred pronouns, a decision that has now been upheld by a tribunal.
Tribunal: “Belief in Genesis 1:27, lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgment are incompatible with human dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others, specifically here, transgender individuals.” UK doctor David Mackereth says he was terminated for his refusal to use transgender patients’ preferred pronouns, a decision...
