The Most Important Correlation In All Of Social Science
Number of sexual partners and duration of first marriage.
Thus the cultivation of chastity is central to a robust nation and a robust culture. Chastity is an old term but now out of favor even among Christians, given the impact of political correctness i.e. cultural Marxism. However it is the accurate label for the virtue or strength behind the data. Regular readers of... Continue Reading
Often Missing from Conversations about Diversity and Inclusion: Cognitive Diversity
Issues of diversity and inclusion often overlook one aspect of this topic: cognitive diversity.
Reynolds and Lewis studied how well executive teams could complete a strategic execution task under time pressure. They discovered that the kinds of diversity we most commonly think of — gender, race, age — had no correlation to a team’s results. What did make a difference was whether the team members had different perspectives and different styles of... Continue Reading
Illinois Purges Social Workers And Foster Families Who Don’t ‘Facilitate’ Transgenderism
Illinois’s child welfare agency has proclaimed staff must ‘affirm’ gender ideology and ‘facilitate’ LGBT identities for kids—or be fired.
The state of Illinois will not tolerate “exposing” the vulnerable children in its care to people who believe human beings are either male or female and cannot “become” the other. No matter that sexual difference is a scientific fact, or that billions of sane people across the world acknowledge it. The science-deniers are running... Continue Reading
Christians Are Now Being Excluded From The Public Square. But We Have Brought It On Ourselves
Tim Farron’s resignation proves the Church needs to take a firmer stance on biblical truth.
Farron’s statement, the treatment of Russell Vought by Bernie Sanders this week and the mockery and abuse of the DUP are all evidence of a disturbing trend within contemporary society – the deliberate attempt to exclude biblical Christians (and anyone else who disagrees with the current liberal zeitgeist) from the public square. This article... Continue Reading
Barna Study Reveals America’s Most ‘Churched’ and ‘Unchurched’ Cities
The Barna Group recently released data revealing which of America's cities are the most "churched," "unchurched," "dechurched" and "post-Christian"
According to the data, the two most “churched” areas in the United States are Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Salt Lake City, Utah, which are both 59 percent churched.

Christians Faced Widespread Harassment in 2015, But Mostly in Christian-Majority Countries
In some of these countries, the Christian majority was itself harassed, often by the government
“Christians were harassed by governments or social groups in a total of 128 countries in 2015 – more countries than any other religious group, according to the report. But there also were 2.3 billion Christians in 2015, more than any other religious group. Large populations of Christians are present in all but a few parts... Continue Reading
All Roads Lead to Exclusion
Is it intolerant and bigoted to say some religions are wrong?
“By their statements, Sanders and Van Hollen are expressing their support for a modern understanding of tolerance. In this manner, being tolerant means you cannot make exclusive religious claims. It is hateful to Muslims to say they will not spend eternity with God because of their beliefs.” Is it intolerant and bigoted to say... Continue Reading
Civil Religion and FDR’s Prayer on D-Day, June 6, 1944
When the Allies launched the invasion of France, President Roosevelt explained D-Day in religious terms
America in 1944 was hardly perfect, with its still-segregated military and a variety of other problems. But that prayer for God to help the Allies conquer the Nazis, the “apostles of racial arrogancies,” speaks to the clarity of purpose behind the D-Day invasion. When the Allies at long last launched the invasion of France... Continue Reading
Remember when Global Christianity was Shaming the Church in the West?
Human sinfulness even among the saints has a way of defying prognosticators.
“Christians in Nigeria are dancing on the brink of moral and ethical collapse. Many Christians who hold public office have become corrupt or immoral, betraying their public Christian testimony. They lack integrity and cannot present a strong moral and ethical witness. They lack the virtue of honesty in public life.” Fifteen years ago, bookies... Continue Reading
Two U.S. Senators Apply an Anti-Christian Religious Test for Government Officials
Two U.S. senators imply that those who believe Jesus is the only way to salvation are “Islamophobic” and not fit for public office.
We should not be surprised when such anti-Christian bias is expressed by groups like the ACLU. That organization has spent decades undermining the liberties of religious Americans. But it’s unacceptable to have our own representatives in the Senate claim that Christians “violate the public trust” when we make the true claim that in rejecting Jesus “those of other faiths stand...
