‘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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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. ...

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.”
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... Continue Reading
