“Side B” is not compassionate. It is evil because it waters down the cross and calls people to celibacy as the answer to their struggles rather than to the freedom that Christ has called us to. Christ offers so much more than a placating sentiment that says, “That sin is who you are—just don’t do... Continue Reading

[T]o repudiate Christianity is not only to sever ourselves from our past, but to cut off the source of all the things we value now and that we need in the future, such as freedom, tolerance, individual dignity and human rights. A new restoration is needed now, with a revival of the faith, a recovery... Continue Reading

There is a gaping wound between us, a chasm of theology, culture, history, and pain. But Christ bridges chasms. And so I extend this invitation—not in spite of our differences, but because of them: Come, let us reason together. Let us sit across tables, walk through one another’s streets, hear the Psalms in each other’s... Continue Reading

When a person calls you hateful, intolerant, bigoted, racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, hypocritical, et cetera, et cetera when contending for an opposing view, they’ve gotten completely off topic. The simple truth—and an obvious one, I would think—is that you cannot defeat an idea by attacking something else, like someone’s alleged character flaw. Yet it’s done... Continue Reading

What’s truly dangerous is the New Age spirit that’s infected the church: a spirit that refuses to name evil, that cannot say when a thing is wrong, and that sees moral clarity as judgmentalism rather than maturity. But to refrain from speaking plainly about sin, especially public sin, is not grace — it is cowardice... Continue Reading

Let’s resist false dichotomies. AI isn’t a demon, but it’s not divine either. It is soulless. It cannot feel conviction, receive grace, or offer worship—yet it’s shaping habits, conversations, and even spiritual disciplines. We must disciple believers to see the difference between a tool and a teacher.    We thought AI would make life easier.... Continue Reading

The child’s touch brings his mother back to life. Children have a way of doing that, don’t they? The theme of life. The value of life permeates every action and reaction in the film.   The new Fantastic Four film is, in a word, fantastic. Its 1950s futuristic aesthetic was charming, with a dash of...

Earlier this summer, the state backed down from attempting to force Camp IdRaHaJe, a Christian overnight camp, from forcing female campers to share private facilities with males. Given that the new regulation targets places of public accommodation, especially store fronts, it is not clear whether the state will back down in the case of Born... Continue Reading

  Perhaps this seems to be a trifling matter to you. Perhaps you think that the Left is so evil and so near to destroying our whole way of life that the only thing that matters is fighting them, even if it means doing so in alliance (or at least as independent co-belligerents)  with some...

If you’re stuck in the cycle—numbing, escaping, hiding—I’m not condemning you. But I am calling you out. You weren’t made to float through life half-alive. You were made to build, lead, protect, and glorify God. It starts with clarity. It continues with courage. And it requires repentance.   I walked into a gas station. The... Continue Reading
