Do Whites Need Corporate Repentance for Historical Racial Sins?
There are categories for sin and reconciliation that can address these problems without committing us to unbiblical assumptions and ideas.
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
Choice for No Sanctity
When I observe such opposition to what we are doing, it tells me the devil is stirred and hates what we do.
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
Is “Systemic Racism” a Useful Category for Christians to Use?
We need moral clarity, not moral confusion.
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
By All Means, Let’s Attack Cuties Without Watching It
We need to restore the lines we once had as a society, and so-called artistic viewing shouldn't be a prerequisite.
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
Is Soft Totalitarianism Coming to America?
Is Dreher just being a pessimist, an alarmist, a scaremonger?
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
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...
