Chinese Govt Offers Financial Reward for Turning in Christians
The Chinese Government is offering cash rewards to people who inform on underground churches.
Religious affairs officials will offer cash rewards for useful information starting from just 100 yuan (£11). But helping to identify and arrest preachers and members of religious groups will be rewarded as much as 10,000 yuan – about two months’ average salary. One city is offering more than £1,000 to those who can identify ‘unofficial’... Continue Reading
Whole Christian Villages Wiped Out, Media Silent
Hundreds more dead and wounded Christians lay in villages in Nigeria while the world sleeps.
“After that attack, I came to visit the villages in the two-mile area around my church, and it was like a cemetery,” said Father Ikeh, weeping. “More than 150 people had been murdered.” In 2015, the Boko Haram was ranked the world’s deadliest terror group by the Institute for Economics and Peace. Another week.... Continue Reading
The Medical Scandal that the Mainstream Media Ignores
Over the past few years, media stories about “transgender” kids have become increasingly common, but critical questions are seldom asked.
Over the past few years, media stories about “transgender” kids have become increasingly common, but critical questions are seldom asked. These children’s identities are portrayed as immutable, while the ideologically-driven medical practices solidifying them are not investigated. Why won’t they report the truth: that these children and their families are victims of ruthless medical practices... Continue Reading
The Age of Terrorism Meets the Era of the Troll
The New Zealand shooter is an extreme example of an increasingly common disaffected person—mostly young men—whose worldview is shaped largely by an evil online culture.
It is not uncommon for terrorists to release a rambling, barely coherent manifesto. And it is usually wise to ignore them, since they only feed the murderer’s desire for attention. But the document left by the New Zealand shooter (whom I will not name) is worth examining, because it gives us insight into a new... Continue Reading
Worshiping the Earth
Humanity has moved away from worshiping the God of the Bible towards goddess worship, the worship of creation or Mother Earth.
Worshipping the creature rather than the creator engenders the wrath of God (Rom. 1:18). Moreover, it is futile. All pagan religion, including goddess/Earth worship seeks peace and harmony with nature, thinking that this is the solution to all of humanity’s ills. But it ignores the fact that the problem really lies in the human heart. ... Continue Reading
That Time We Boycotted E.T.
"If you live by the boycott, you may die by the boycott."
The National Association of Evangelicals joined together to campaign and encourage Christians to not buy the beloved family film as a show of displeasure over the other MCA/Universal film. Their goal was to significantly impact the profits of E.T., the film which MCA would expect Christians to watch, so that it would garner their attention... Continue Reading
Love in the Time of Jordan Peterson
Peterson's ideas have now become influential in the lives of millions of young men and women struggling to make sense of life and love under the neoliberal order.
The Boomers, whatever else they were, were romantics; they frequently did not let being married to others get in the way of their romances. Millennials, on the other hand, increasingly don’t marry at all. Ever. But not, contra Peterson, because they are wild eyed dreamers looking for their soul mates. Rather, because many of them have already internalized the... Continue Reading
A Religion of Activism
Sociology is terminally ill.
Berger described two symptoms of disorder: an anti-humanist fetish for quantification, which began in the mid-twentieth century, and the spread of ideology masquerading as scholarship, a consequence of the cultural revolution of the late 1960s. Much of the quantification he bemoaned complemented the politicization. Today, survey data and complicated statistical methodologies are useful aspects of... Continue Reading
Because There’s No Gospel All Day
I didn’t believe the world was full of anti-gospel messages, but it was. It is. It’s always been.
“You get up in the morning, maybe you read the Bible. Then go to school all day and there’s so many bad messages you’re getting from friends and social media and television and everything. You need to read your Bible because you’re not going to get what you need anywhere else.” We were sitting... Continue Reading
The End of the Family?
Progressives do not trust in a sovereign God, so they try to create their own ever-new versions of utopia; to undermine the family, they must reject the Genesis narratives.
The temptation is to “self-censor” by falling silent. But to demand silence of believers is like asking the early Christians to burn incense to Caesar as Lord in an active expression of polytheism. We must show love to “non-gender” people while loving our Creator and Father first. We must explain to our Christian children the... Continue Reading
