Keep the Stigma Against Suicide
Behind this embrace of death is a culture-wide pessimism about human life.
Canada continually has extended its euthanasia program to less and less grievous conditions, and was set to offer euthanasia to the mentally ill until public outcry slowed the process. In the Netherlands, proposals are on the table for an expansion of euthanasia to anyone over age seventy-five. A woman who lost two family members and... Continue Reading
Not “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime”
Christmas joy as American depression skyrockets.
Jesus is described as “a man of sorrows acquainted with grief” (Isa. 53). He described his own soul as “deeply grieved to the point of death” (Mk. 14:34), and cried out “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me” (Matt. 27:46). Those experiencing mental and spiritual angst during the Christmas season are also in... Continue Reading
The Coming Fight to Abolish DEI
An open letter to Donald Trump’s Cabinet.
Cabinet members should take advantage of the inevitable frenzy that will surround the new administration’s various policies and personalities. Abolishing DEI, while important, will register as a secondary headline. If officials successfully abolish these diversity programs, they can move on and never have to address it again. The principle underlying this course of action is... Continue Reading
How “Side B” Ministries Hi-Jack the Great Commission
Any shepherd of the flock ought to be ready to use the rod and chase off these wolves in sheep’s clothing so that the sheep might be protected.
Since Side “B” ministries give false assurances to homosexuals that they can be both gay and Christian. This undermines and corrupts the responsibility of faithful discipleship within the church to help people discover if they really are true disciples of Christ. If a Christian struggling with same-sex attraction homosexual prefers being identified with the LBGTQ+... Continue Reading
“Christians in Syria Need Urgent Help”: An Interview with a Levantine Greek Activist
Turkey wants to expand its territories and carry out an Ottoman imperial revival.
Mainstream media has always claimed they are “moderate rebels” when in fact we know they are neither moderate nor rebels. They are the same militants that beheaded women and children, just rebranded with new names. These people want a theocratic country. Syria is in need of reforms, but they will have to be democratic and... Continue Reading
Deadly Silence: France’s Abortion Censorship
The Council of State is banning anything that offers women a different perspective on the unborn.
If the French government has their way, it will soon be impossible to tell the truth about what actually happens during an abortion—the physical destruction of a unique, living, whole human being developing in the womb. That description isn’t ideological. Every embryology textbook at every major medical institution informs the reader that human life begins... Continue Reading
Fertility Shows Why Christians Must Be Concerned About Political Greatness
The struggles of parenthood appear as nothing when we have great things to do in the political and religious worlds.
The best thing to promote fertility is to promote marriage. This means discouraging ideologies hostile to marriage and promoting healthy religious belief. Ideologies are lullabies, entrancing people to embrace the bright side of cultural decay. James Burnham called liberalism the ideology of western suicide. Among modern Western peoples, feminism and sexual liberation ideologies are our... Continue Reading
Bibles, Books, and Brain Rot
On the vibe shift and the progressive squeeze.
Bible sales rose to 14.2 million in 2023 from 9.7 million in 2019, and hit 13.7 million in the first 10 months of this year. Readers are also stocking up on related titles that provide guidance, insights and context—even sets of stickers to flag particularly meaningful passages. What happens a few years from now after...

Bathrooms Are Not the Real Battlefield
Unrelenting pressure for “acceptance” will continue.
Let’s not allow ourselves to be deceived. McBride called the bathroom fracas a distraction. That’s largely true. Many Republicans are eager to appear as adversaries of “cultural Marxism.” But few are willing to offer the slightest resistance to any of the achievements of modern feminism or gay liberation. These movements endorse the basic premise of... Continue Reading
This is Your Brain on Materialism
Why it matters that the mind and soul are more than mere products of the brain.
If materialism were true, Wright and other materialists who insist the mind and the soul are nothing but mere products of the brain cannot trust these thoughts. Their thoughts about the brain, or anything else, would be products of material causes and no more significance than steam wafting from a bowl of oatmeal. In Chesterton’s... Continue Reading
