Indeed, while apocalypse refers to an unveiling, it may be that some forms of unveiling entail shuttering—closing institutions, turning off the lights, going dark. In such darkness, we are forced to stop, take stock, and then learn to go ahead without sight. As Berry writes in an essay, “It may be that when we no longer know... Continue Reading

In Amos 5:15, the Bible commands Christians to “hate evil, and love good, and establish justice.”   That means we should hate all evil—including Donald Trump’s evil character. It means we should love the good things Donald Trump has done for preborn babies and religious freedom. And it means you also have the liberty to vote for Donald... Continue Reading

When addressing how he might attempt to enforce his mandates, Cuomo recommended state officials doing head counts as people arrived. “You stand at the front door. When they go over 75, you close the door and call me,” Cuomo said.   Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took specific aim at religious groups Monday, specifically... Continue Reading

The so-called Virginia Values Act (S.B. 868), which Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) signed on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday) in the middle of a pandemic, compels churches, religious schools, and Christian ministries to hire employees who do not share their stated beliefs on marriage, sexuality, and gender identity. A companion law (H.B. 1429)... Continue Reading

So, although George Whitefield’s presence may not be welcomed anymore by sinners at the University of Pennsylvania,  that’s okay—his presence is welcomed forever by his sinless saviour in heaven. Cancel culture says some sinners’ names should be blotted out of history books. However, Christian culture—the gospel—says some sinners’ names are inked by the blood of... Continue Reading

We should be very careful in how we parse issues of guilt, repentance, and reconciliation. We sympathize with Christians and Christian leaders who are passionate to see the church in the vanguard of demonstrating racial unity, care for the vulnerable, and a desire for just laws. But we must always allow our theology to be... Continue Reading

So why share any of them with you? Well, what really hit our staff who had to deal with these was how evil many in these younger generations are. We all know the X, Y (millennials), and Z generations are much more secularized than the older generations like Boomers, Silent, and Greatest. Researcher George Barna... Continue Reading

This is where I have come to have serious problems with the category of systemic racism—at least as the term is defined in Critical Race Theory (CRT).1 My church’s confession teaches me to treat racism as sin. CRT teaches that racism of the systemic sort need not involve any moral agency at all. This clash confuses people as to what... Continue Reading

The inconvenient truth is: the liberal logicians are right. But while they think pointing out how far down the slope we’ve slid is a rebuke that will get us to unseat our heels from the earth, in truth it’s a call to greater resistance. Thanks for the heads-up guys—when we’re done with Cuties, perhaps we... Continue Reading

Lives Not By Lies serves two purposes and, in my assessment, succeeds at both of them. It sounds the alarm, warning people to wake up, to see that the enemy is already closing in on the gates. And, in the eventuality or even the likelihood that it is already too late to hold the hoards at... Continue Reading
