“Progressivism” means change. What is considered the core tenants of secular faith today will soon be regarded as unorthodox and prudish in the future, but for now, these signs are a helpful guide to the dogma of the day. Let us take a quick look at each phrase.   Signs have begun popping up in... Continue Reading

Many of you have sent me emails sharing similar experiences and asking for advice about how to talk about racism with friends—especially black friends—who embrace an unbiblical understanding of racism and social justice. I can’t help you maintain all your friends—I can’t even maintain all of mine. But I can attempt to help you maintain... Continue Reading

Antiracist activists routinely chastise people for merely being personally opposed to racism when what is needed -in their view- is sustained political action that transforms laws, policies, and institutions that produce inequitable outcomes. Some Christians have similarly criticized churches that merely preach against racism and teach that it is a sin, but are politically disengaged and are not actively demanding... Continue Reading

If someone has swallowed postmodernism (the idea that truth is relative), you won’t get very far trying to convince them that sex outside of marriage is wrong.

We’re willing to listen more. With one exception. Even as we strive to become better at appreciating diversity within people’s backgrounds and... Continue Reading

“I don’t know what burning the Bible has to do with protesting against police brutality. Do not be under the illusion that these protests and riots are anything but an attempt to dismantle all of Western Civilization and upend centuries of tradition and freedom of religion.”   While rioters previously attacked federal buildings, businesses, and...

What does it mean for America that in half a generation, the total percentage of men in their prime participating in marriage went from half  — already an alarmingly low rate — to close to only a third? From 1 in 2 to 1 in 3 married? If we were a nation that was genuinely... Continue Reading

news reports may be skewed—deliberately or not—to satisfy their advertisers, their audience, or their shareholders. Reporters may put opinions before facts. They may play up only one aspect of the story while downplaying the rest. And news that might offend audiences may be ignored altogether.   It used to be a lot easier to tell... Continue Reading
