Jelly Roll Christianity
Where the Jelly Rolls of the world make millions, applying hickory-smoke-and-bourbon scented salve to the conscience of many lost souls.
What are you waiting for? You have years of partying, manual labor, and bad dieting under your belt, just like me. It could be any moment that you stand before Christ, and like so many others proclaim ‘Lord, Lord’, just to hear those final words in the end. It’s 5:30 a.m. on a cool,... Continue Reading
Iranian Christians Should Not Be Detained While Seeking Asylum
There are untold numbers of Iranian Christians who did not have the resources to defend their asylum claims and were deported. Their fate is unknown.
Asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution should not be detained while their cases are heard. They should be free to access the legal representation and resources necessary to make as strong a case as possible. When they are denied that freedom, especially when the stakes are life and death, we as Christians have a duty to... Continue Reading
Are You Ready for Some Lord’s Day?
Avoiding outrage the Westminster way.
No one keeps the Christian Sabbath fully or maybe even all that well; we can all do better. Planning to profane it by supporting activities that require many to work and which are guaranteed to distract us is probably not the best course. THIS MATTER HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION: Some NFL teams now... Continue Reading
When Evil Comes for Children, Where Is the Light?
We must become the voice of hope that rages against cruelty, cries out for justice, and looks for a promised deliverance.
God hasn’t told us all the reasons he allows unjust suffering, but he has promised he’ll ultimately judge the wicked. He’ll right the wrongs. Isaiah prophesies about the Savior to come, saying, “With righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth... Continue Reading
From Tehran to Kermanshah, Iran Hunts Down Christian Converts
Christians in Iran are vilified as members of a ‘sect’ and considered a national security threat.
Christian activities commonly considered crimes include conducting worship services at home, performing baptisms, preaching in church, celebrating Christmas, attending house churches, theological education, and singing worship songs. In a 2018 verdict, for instance, playing Christian worship songs on a guitar was cited as “misleading Muslim youth” and resulted in a 15-year prison sentence for Amin... Continue Reading
Against the Transhumanist, Transex Behemoth
These 27 chapters/essays make for frightening reading. But we must be aware of what is happening in our posthuman world.
These purported new sexes, ostensibly requiring special human rights, depend on a narrative that sexual dimorphism isn’t real, that it exists on a spectrum of sexes. This is the gender industry, and with projected profit margins reaching into the billions by 2026, for surgeries on healthy sex organs alone and the amount of advertising curated... Continue Reading
Debunking the War Between Science and Faith
Religion was on the retreat; defeat was imminent. Surrender or die.
The picture of a persistent conflict between science and faith is bad history. When we revisit the past to look at actual scientists and actual theologians, when we observe what they thought and said about science and faith, we discover that science and Christianity have had a more complex relationship—diverse, subtle, surprising, tangled, and messy. ...

Sunday Essay: Why The “Gospel Centered” Movement Failed
Labeling everything "a Gospel issue" except the Gospel - COVID, closing churches, vax mandates, BLM riots, and always Woke politics - was a clear symptom. But the disease was both deeper and simpler.
Rather than outlining how the decline of “gospel-centered” media, conferences, and books has aligned neatly with the events of 2020 (whilst the trajectory of those with a richer understanding of God’s law seemed to go in the exact opposite direction during that time period), let me instead make what may be a rather obvious, but...

The Bible, Theology and Woeful Ignorance
Massacring Scripture and history to push ugly antisemitism.
Israel faces REAL genocide and extinction from the dozens of Arab and Muslim states that surround it, and the various terrorist organisations that have declared war on it. Israel has a fundamental right to exist and to defend itself against such a satanic onslaught. And the Christian can support this, while even holding to differing... Continue Reading
Online Porn Is a Symptom, Not the Disease
Parents need to realize that choices about digital screens bleed into all of life.
“It’s time to take this seriously. If we want our children to find love someday and to take pleasure in intimate relationships, then they must not learn about sex from porn videos. And, if governments and regulatory agencies insist on doing little to nothing to age-gate the internet, then the entire responsibility for protection falls... Continue Reading
