China’s Orwellian War on Religion

It’s easy to see how the Social Credit System could punish faith communities — especially if it is integrated with a mass surveillance network.

Written by Nicholas Kristof | Sunday, June 2, 2019

The country is also experimenting with even more Orwellian technology, including the Ministry of Public Security’s mass surveillance system and a “Social Credit System” that can create a blacklist for those who don’t pay debts or who cheat on taxes, break traffic rules or attend an unofficial church. Blacklisted individuals can be barred from buying plane...

Population Explosion or Population Bust: Is there a Biblical Approach?

The U.S. birthrate has dropped to 1.7 children per woman; as a matter of cultural health, what does it say about a generation that fails to reproduce itself?

Written by Jan Dudt | Thursday, May 30, 2019

Notice that the Scripture never records an incident of children being a curse, only a blessing. The curse is associated with the denial of children, or their destruction. It is true that they can be inconvenient. Sometimes, I wonder which one of my five progeny has my vehicle. I know I drove it into work.... Continue Reading

Giving Up Darwin

What if Darwin was wrong?

Written by David Gelernter | Tuesday, May 28, 2019

Like so many others, I grew up with Darwin’s theory, and had always believed it was true. I had heard doubts over the years from well-informed, sometimes brilliant people, but I had my hands full cultivating my garden, and it was easier to let biology take care of itself. But in recent years, reading and... Continue Reading

They Refused to Denounce Jesus

Pastor, 5 Others Shot After Church Service in Burkina Faso

Written by Lindy Lowry | Wednesday, May 22, 2019

In addition to Pastor Pierre, the attackers killed his son, Wend-Kuni, and his brother-in-law (a church deacon), Zoéyandé Sawadogo, as well as believers Sayouba and Arouna Sawadogo, and a primary school teacher, Elie Boena. Another was seriously injured and taken to a nearby hospital.   Last Sunday seemed like any Sunday for 80-year-old Pastor Pierre... Continue Reading

An Overview of the Nineteenth Century

One of the more poignant lessons of church history is that it rarely enables us to foretell how future history will unfold.

Written by Nicholas R. Needham | Saturday, May 18, 2019

The Reformed tradition in many ways enjoyed a golden age in nineteenth-century America. The list of notable American Reformed theologians and scholars includes Charles Hodge (1797–1878) and his son Archibald Alexander Hodge (1823–86), William G.T. Shedd (1820–94), Robert Lewis Dabney (1820–98), James Henley Thornwell (1812–62), Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1818–1902), John Girardeau (1825–98), John B. Adger... Continue Reading

Father Gagged, Found Guilty Of ‘Family Violence’ For Calling His Trans Daughter A ‘She’

British Columbia's Supreme Court declared a father guilty of 'family violence' for giving interviews to publications including The Federalist in which he used female pronouns for his daughter.

Written by Jeremiah Keenan | Thursday, May 16, 2019

Hoping to raise awareness of his case, Clark gave a number of interviews to media outlets, including The Federalist. In these interviews, he repeatedly referred to his daughter as a girl, stating to The Federalist that “she is a girl.  Her DNA will not change through all these experiments that they do.”   Last week, Justice Francesca...

Drama at Smaland

If you survive it, you deserve a cookie.

Written by Karen Katulka | Monday, May 13, 2019

To say I was speechless would be a lie. I had plenty of words to say and fists I wanted to throw. But I figured any word that came out unfiltered would be something I’d regret for the rest of my life. Mostly, because my kids were there and they were eyewitnesses to what is... Continue Reading

The Good (Tiger), the Bad (Kate), and the Ugly (Pence)

Once you raise the bar of perfectionism, there’s no way to lower it without a little hypocrisy of your own making.

Written by D.G. Hart | Tuesday, May 7, 2019

Vice President Mike Pence is so squeaky clean as to be downright boring. But he won’t receive any breaks — especially from evangelical faculty — as long as he is in office with President Trump. Taylor University has invited Pence to speak at this year’s commencement exercises and some on the campus among students and... Continue Reading

Israel Folau, Unlikely Martyr

Rugby may be unfamiliar to American readers, but the basic dynamics of this narrative are not.

Written by Carl Trueman | Tuesday, May 7, 2019

Folau plays at number 15 for the Australian national team and Australia is a country which takes its rugby very seriously. But Folau now finds himself in trouble for a number of “homophobic” tweets and social media posts, some of which are little more than Bible verses. As of this moment, he is appealing termination of his... Continue Reading

America’s First ‘Non-Binary’ Person Switches Back: ‘There Is No Third Gender’

In his Daily Signal column, Shupe says he didn’t need affirmation from the medical community. He needed help.

Written by Michael Foust | Monday, May 6, 2019

Jamie Shupe, an Army veteran who made worldwide headlines due to his non-binary status in 2016, writes in a Daily Signal column that he convinced himself he was a woman during a mental health crisis in 2013. The medical profession affirmed his status, and then did so again when he wanted to become non-binary – that is,... Continue Reading
