Why College Is Never Coming Back

Mark my words: coronavirus will be remembered for transforming college forever.

Written by Stephen McBride | Friday, July 24, 2020

Right now, millions of kids are questioning what they’re paying tens of thousands of dollars for. NOBODY is willing to pay $30,000/year to watch lecturers on Zoom calls. In fact, tuitions are already falling. New data shows colleges reopening “online only” this Fall have slashed costs by $9,000, on average. How many kids will jump... Continue Reading

Finally! The Little Sisters of the Poor Score a Win

The Little Sisters of the Poor finally got a victory defending itself against government regulations that insisted the sisters must provide contraceptives in the health plans to their employees.

Written by John A. Sparks | Thursday, July 23, 2020

The sisters’ refusal comes from a deeply held religious conviction which requires them to protect innocent human life. If they furnish medical insurance under ACA requirements, they will be providing drugs which extinguish or prevent the formation of life in the womb. By doing so they would be forced to violate their religious beliefs.  ... Continue Reading

Double Mastectomy at 15, Detrans 16-Year-Old Now Seeks Reversal

Gender ideology — a fairly new and contradictory belief system — is seeping into the school curriculum, pulling kids down the internet rabbit hole, and encouraging young people to question and analyze their “gender identity.”

Written by Julia Diana Robertson | Monday, July 20, 2020

As an alarming number of desisted and detrans young people come forward, more and more as time passes, they bring visibility and awareness to the medical malpractice that’s been going on for years. The major surge, in the number of kids who identify as “trans” in recent years, has done nothing to slow the medical... Continue Reading

John Calvin and Rebellion Against the Government

A case can be made for Calvin leaving open, in fact if not in intention, the legitimacy of rebellion as a last resort against civil injustice.

Written by Paul Helm | Monday, July 20, 2020

It is worth remembering that Calvin’s view of government was aristocratic.  The king’s power was not to be absolute, but he is to govern together with his nobles. Calvin’s treatment of civil government is in Book IV of the Institutes, the last chapter (20). At the beginning of Book IV Calvin explicitly links to his earlier... Continue Reading

NYT Blames Churches For Spreading Coronavirus, Ignores Protests And Riots

“Weeks after President Trump demanded that America’s shuttered houses of worship be allowed to reopen, new outbreaks of the coronavirus are surging through churches across the country where services have resumed.”

Written by R. Scott Clark | Monday, July 20, 2020

The gathering of Christians for public worship is declared to be an imminent threat to the health of the nation. They continue: “The virus has infiltrated Sunday sermons, meetings of ministers and Christian youth camps in Colorado and Missouri. It has struck churches that reopened cautiously with face masks and social distancing in the pews,... Continue Reading

Are Bans on Conversion Therapy Actually Bans on Religious Conversion…in Drag?

While Canadians follow many gods (theistic or material like money, sex, or sports), there is one dominant religion. And it isn’t Christianity or Islam.

Written by André Schutten | Monday, July 20, 2020

To understand what it is, we can look to the opening chapter of Nancy Pearcey’s excellent book Love Thy Body, where she explains the “radically fragmented, fractured, dualistic view of the human being” that has developed in Western culture. She calls it personhood theory. Personhood theory says the true “you” – the actual person – is not the body you... Continue Reading

NY Times Opinion Editor Resigns Alleging Unlawful Discrimination And Hostile Work Environment

Bari Weiss publishes her resignation letter to the New York Times claiming, “The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy.”

Written by Bari Weiss | Thursday, July 16, 2020

Bari Weiss, the opinion editor and a writer the New York Times (NYT), resigned her position and sent her resignation letter, below, to the NYT’s publisher on July 14, 2020.  The letter accused the newspaper of allowing “unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge,” among other misdeeds. Weiss’s exit comes after controversy arose prompted... Continue Reading

Only Five Black Lives Matter?

Whatever our race, we should denounce any form of hatred or superiority.

Written by Peter Jones | Wednesday, July 15, 2020

We need a thoughtful response to the present state of many in the black culture who are locked in a false view of their situation. A part of the response our culture should bring is a genuine apology for the godless, liberal policies that helped destroy the black family in the 1960s. This was a... Continue Reading

The Angry Mob And Their Counterfeit Religion

The seditious words and violent deeds of social justice zealots show all the hallmarks of a religious fervor intent on establishing their one true “faith.”

Written by C. R. Carmichael | Tuesday, July 14, 2020

How can a radical sociopolitical movement led by Antifa protesters and the Black Lives Matter organization find its power within the abandoned territory of a failing Christianity? Isn’t there a clear difference between issues of Church and State, or theology and democracy? The answer may somewhat surprise you: This isn’t primarily a political uprising we... Continue Reading

Do Chinese Lives Matter?

They do to Christ – and they should to us.

Written by David Robertson | Tuesday, July 14, 2020

The new national security law makes it against the law to criticise the Communist government, allows for closed door trials, wiretapping and for suspects to be taken to mainland China. The People’s Daily tweeted: “All of us are also happy to see a peaceful society coming back again in recent days. Hong Kong residents warmly welcome... Continue Reading
