The Epidemic Of Fatherlessness

Fredrick Douglas: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

Written by Jacob Pippin | Friday, June 19, 2020

We are witnessing the fruit of fatherlessness, with a stage four prognosis, and it has metastasized throughout the entire culture. This brave new world we are watching unfold will not usher in the utopia that many imagine—it will destroy everything in its wake. It doesn’t have plans to rebuild anything at all. Fatherless men were... Continue Reading

Is It Really About Race?

Contemporary progressivism, in the name of freedom, naively wants to erase all reference to the Creator, deny anything outside of the human or the natural, in favor of a system based on one’s right to self-define.

Written by Peter Jones | Thursday, June 18, 2020

Christians desire the good for human society, but such good eventually can come only through a spiritual revival. We must confess any form of racism in our hearts and pray that the Spirit of God will lead our divided culture to an understanding of God’s tender-heartedness for lost sinners.   I will never forget the...

Does Systemic Racism Exist?

George Floyd’s murder is a horrific injustice. But it isn’t evidence for systemic racism.

Written by Samuel Sey | Thursday, June 18, 2020

That doesn’t mean racism doesn’t exist anymore. Of course, it does. I’ve been racist against other people. And other people have been racist against me. Just like every kind of sin, racism will never end—not until Jesus returns. Nevertheless, the concept of systemic racism today has become underlined by a form of cultural relativism, a...

Stuck Between Two Sexes: The Trans Teen Revolution

Rushing to medicalize kids and trap them into a cross-sex lifestyle, there's been an explosion of prescriptions puberty blockers given to children without any thought to the permanent consequences.

Written by Tony Perkins | Thursday, June 18, 2020

And what if there are underlying mental health issues that no one knows about? When you attack the brain with these cross-sex hormones for a child struggling with conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, even high-functioning autism, which is sometimes the case for these girls, “one can only wonder,” Sarah pointed out, “what that kind of...

Gorsuch Helps Transform the Supreme Court Into the Supreme Legislature on LGBT Rights

The Supreme Court has rewritten Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sexual orientation and gender identity in the definition of “sex.”

Written by Hans von Spakovsky and Ryan T. Anderson | Thursday, June 18, 2020

The majority opinion by Gorsuch upending more than five decades of prior precedents was only 33 pages long. Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, filed a blistering dissent in which he said that “there is only one word for what the Court has done today: legislation.” He pointed out that the majority’s claim that it...

Learning the Deeper Lessons

The past fifteen years have witnessed a gradual human retreat into self-made worlds of our own ordering.

Written by Andrew Roycroft | Tuesday, June 16, 2020

In this post I want to think through some of the identity-shattering issues which Covid-19 brings to us as Christians, and suggest some deep seated lessons which we can presently learn that might better prepare us to face our world now, and enjoy heaven later.   These are undoubtedly the strangest of days. We are... Continue Reading

Race and Redemption

Slavery and Jim Crow were evil and systemic. Racism is sinful. But the solution is not to replace the church’s theology of forgiveness with a secular atonement narrative.

Written by Gerald McDermott | Monday, June 15, 2020

As Green and others have noted, the new anti-racism has become a new religion with its own original sin (white racism), baptismal liturgy (confession of whiteness), and new birth (to wokeness). But there is no redemption, and its ethic encourages people to practice what Jesus condemned, “Do not judge, lest you too be judged” (Matt.... Continue Reading

It’s Hard to Pillage While Pushing a Wheelchair

The incessant need to rage withers under the strain of caring for a disabled family member.

Written by Peter Rosenberger | Monday, June 15, 2020

Some of America’s 65 million caregivers could probably work in a peaceful protest. The caregiver and loved one can simultaneously get some fresh air, participate in a good cause, and get some exercise. Burning down the system, however, simply takes too much energy.  It’s all about the math — the number of hours one logs in the... Continue Reading

Some Thoughts on Racism

There is still racism out there. It doesn’t do us any good to deny it.

Written by Lane Keister | Tuesday, June 9, 2020

While we should be cautious in jumping to conclusions on any particular case, there is still racial hatred out there. And this racial hatred is not all unidirectional. There is plenty of racial hatred of whites by blacks, too. Many people would seek to justify this part of the equation by saying that it is... Continue Reading

Protest and Anarchy in Black and Blue

We who follow Christ must assure that “long-game discipleship” is our prime directive; a discipleship into deep and practical biblical affecting every area of life — personal, cultural and social.

Written by Carl F. Ellis, Jr. | Monday, June 8, 2020

In an earlier blog I emphasized the importance of moral clarity for an effective protest.  The case of George Floyd dripped with moral clarity — so much so that 78% of the country agreed that Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on Mr. Floyd’s neck till he died, should have been arrested immediately.  However, such a national...
