‘I Basically Just Made It Up’: Confessions of a Social Constructionist

The problem is: I was wrong. Or, to be a bit more accurate, I got things partly right.

Written by Christopher Dummitt | Monday, September 30, 2019

Now my big idea is everywhere. It shows up especially in the talking points about trans rights, and policy regarding trans athletes in sports. It is being written into laws that essentially threaten repercussions for anyone who suggests that sex might be a biological reality. Such a statement, for many activists, is tantamount to hate speech. If you take... Continue Reading

Worldview Without God

Reason alone would become the basis for truth and morality.

Written by Scott Aniol | Sunday, September 29, 2019

Descartes’s most famous maxim, Cogito, ergo sum, “I think, therefore I am,” centered the foundation for knowledge in self rather than in divine revelation, beginning a shift in what constitutes the final authority for understanding the world from faith in God’s divine revelation to human reason. Whereas Augustine had said, Credo, ut intelligas, “Believe, so... Continue Reading

Marianne Williamson And Pete Buttigieg Are The New Proselytizers Of Politicized Religion

By sowing contempt for cherished traditions and replacing them with nihilism and a theology of self-will, Pike’s legacy includes the growing spiritual vacuum in today’s America.

Written by Stella Morabito | Thursday, September 26, 2019

Pike is best known for the divisions he sowed into the Episcopal Church by injecting heresy. He seemed to invest his entire clerical career into remaking that church (and other churches) in his own image. His fiery sermons in the 1950s and ’60s increasingly accused the church of hypocrisy and attacked her central doctrines, including... Continue Reading

In Dorian’s Wake

Amid devastation, a long recovery begins in the Bahamas.

Written by Laura G. Singleton | Monday, September 23, 2019

“It’s chaos here,” Gee Rolle, 44, told the Associated Press Friday in Grand Abaco. The construction worker waited with his wife for a boat that could take them to the capital, Nassau. “The government is trying their best, but at the same time, I don’t think they’re doing a good enough job to evacuate the...

“The More Christians Keep Silent on Controversial Themes, the Narrower the Space for Freedom of Speech Gets”

Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen shares her thoughts about the police investigation opened against her for quoting the Bible on homosexuality.

Written by Joel Forster | Monday, September 23, 2019

Räsanen is married to a Lutheran pastor, and admits that the thought of resigning her membership of the Finnish Lutheran Church went through her mind at some point in the last weeks. But “as I prayed”, she explains, “I was convinced that now is the time to try to wake up the sleeping ones, not... Continue Reading

The Arizona Supreme Court Strikes a Powerful Blow for Free Speech and Religious Freedom

The Arizona Supreme Court rule that Christian calligraphers and painters Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski could not be compelled to use their artistic talents to help celebrate same-sex weddings.

Written by David French | Thursday, September 19, 2019

The court stated: “Ultimately, the City’s analysis is based on the flawed assumption that Plaintiffs’ custom wedding invitations are fungible products, like a hamburger or a pair of shoes. They are not. Plaintiffs do not sell “identical” invitations to anyone; every custom invitation is different and unique. For each invitation, Duka and Koski create different... Continue Reading

1619, Slavery, the Founding, and All That

Everything evil we now call “racist,” whether the thing is actually racist or not.

Written by Bradley J. Birzer | Thursday, September 19, 2019

The New York Times, from any proper and true understanding of history as well as of racism, has just presented us with de facto racist history, a history based solely on race and racism. Additionally, The New York Times claiming any originality in this observation is simply ridiculous; racism has been the cry of the Left since the... Continue Reading

Trusting the Good News in the Age of Fake News

The result of Truth Decay is suspicion, general uncertainty, and disengagement and alienation from one another and institutions.

Written by Jonathan Cruse | Monday, September 16, 2019

Trust is a fundamental social capital, and as Christians we should lament its decline. But even as the integrity of our news outlets seems to erode before our very eyes–even as we are inundated with fake news–we must never let our faith waiver regarding what we know to be reliable, trustworthy, and true: The Gospel.  ...

5 Incredible Revelations From Last Week’s Abortion Hearing In California

Wild criminal proceedings took place in San Francisco regarding legalized abortion where Daleiden and Merritt are on trial for posing as potential buyers of body parts of aborted babies.

Written by Jesse Johnson | Monday, September 16, 2019

While the trial hasn’t started yet, this whole legal process has proved to be a huge mistake for Planned Parenthood, as it has already produced one insanely embarrassing revelation after another for them. Here are the five craziest things uncovered so far in court.   One of the wildest criminal proceedings in the history of... Continue Reading

Finnish Politician under Investigation for Citing Romans to Oppose LGBT Pride

The police department said in a news release that the two members of parliament have been accused of “agitating against an ethnic group.”

Written by Samuel Smith | Monday, September 16, 2019

In June, Räsänen, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and former chair of the Christian Democrats, took to Facebook to criticize her denomination’s participation as an official partner of the Helsinki Pride parade.    A Christian member of Finland’s parliament is under investigation after she cited the New Testament on social media to voice...
