Three Reasons to Keep Going as a Pastor
Hold fast, press on, fulfil your commission, own your weakness, keep your hope, and pray for others in your position as you do.
Fellow Pastor, please let God lift your eyes beyond this moment, to see that a time will come when we will reflect on the events of today as the experiences of yesterday, when we will reclothe the reality of our problems in the rhetoric of providence, when we will trace the path which God was...

‘Real Men Don’t Cry’ And Other Myths About Masculinity, Male Caregivers
The role of caregiver is too difficult and critical to assume with poor belief systems.
Courage is not the absence of fear but the presence of devotion. When caregiving, fear constantly lurks at the corners of our minds. We face things that are fear worthy. Yet, Scripture states, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear…” 1 John 4:18 KJV While incapable of perfect love on... Continue Reading
Is Your Christianity Merely a Means to a Social Justice End?
We don’t want to mold Christianity into our own making by using it “as a means to anything—even to social justice.”
We shouldn’t confuse [social justice], though, with the central mission of Jesus, which was to preach the truth (Mark 1:38) and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10) by becoming a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28). Sure, he healed the sick and performed many miraculous signs, but these were also intended to authenticate his main... Continue Reading
A Brief Critique of Critical Race Theory
Failure to renounce Critical Race Theory is a dereliction of duty.
Any Christian leader who understands CT/CRT/I & refuses to reject them is not a trustworthy guide in the battle that is currently raging within the church and culture. Anyone who promotes any of these ideologies is either too naive to be a leader or has become complicit with the enemy against Christ. There is no... Continue Reading
What Makes a Man — or a Woman?
Our differences are not merely differences from each other, but are actually differences for each other.
God’s design in creation = nature. Expressed and clarified in the word of God = Scripture. Wise and prudent application = culture. God has built the world in a particular way, creating men and women for his mission, but doing so in a particular order and with a mutual dependence…Getting straight on these categories is...

Thinking Critically about Critical Race Theory
There’s a better alternative to Critical Race Theory—Christianity.
CRT’s whole framework is ethical. Oppression is wrong. But why is oppression wrong? Why does every black life matter? In a world without God, these “ethics” are nothing more than personal preferences, mere opinions. I suspect you’ve been a bit surprised—and maybe even confused—about the ongoing social chaos starting with George Floyd’s death. You’re... Continue Reading
Welfare, Tax Rules Keep Working-Class Americans From Marrying, Experts Say
New report shows 'marriage penalties' fall hardest on the poor.
These disincentives are likely part of the widening “marriage gap,” the increasing disparity in marriage rates between more and less affluent Americans. Research released Wednesday by the Institute for Family Studies found that 42 percent of “lower income” Americans ages 25-50 had never married, compared with 23 percent of “higher income” Americans. That gap has widened precipitously... Continue Reading
Why Sex Education has so Successfully Increased Promiscuity, STDs, Abortion
Sex education, in essence, proceeds directly out of that assumption that children are entirely incapable of abstaining from sex outside marriage.
The nationalizing of childhood — a chilling idea that makes much sense. Give to the State and its education system the task of teaching children what to believe and which values to hold, and you’ve essentially co-opted the family structure. September 8, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — How did we get modern sex education — and... Continue Reading
The Dead-end of Research Justice
In “Cynical Theories,” the authors demonstrate that modern Critical Theory is essentially applied post-modernism.
Critical Theory values epistemic diversity—as if spiritism or superstition are just as valid as rational and evidentiary forms of knowing. But we must insist that reason and evidence are universal values, not white ones. They are universal because they are gifts from God to be used for his glory, not to be discarded as racist...

More than 500 Ethiopian Christians Killed In Targeted Attacks Since June
At least 500 Christians in Ethiopia have been murdered in the last two months by Islamists, according to a report by the Barnabas Fund.
Violence in Oromo has been ongoing since June 30, when popular Oromo singer and celebrity Hachallu Hundessa was shot dead in the capital. His murder revived long-standing tensions between Amhara and Oromo elites – the two largest people groups in the country. In the days following his death, 239 people were killed and more than...
