Invasions, Justice and the Gospel
On Christian mission, and Islamism in the West.
Just as there were undiscerning Christians last century who refused to acknowledge the diabolical evil of the Nazis, so too we have many today who have not the slightest understanding of political Islam and their designs on the West. They think we should just welcome them in with open arms, regardless of their clearly stated... Continue Reading
Ohio City Requires Permit for Home Prayer; Resident Appeals to Supreme Court
Even without a Supreme Court decision yet, the case already illustrates how local land-use rules can be weaponized against minority religious practice.
Early believers gathered in homes to pray, teach, and break bread. When authorities later demanded registration or closure of such meetings, Christians appealed to divine law over human commands that contradicted it. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29, KJV) Daniel Grand,... Continue Reading
When Eugenics Goes Viral
The baby boy’s short life and death were publicly documented for public consumption—all except for the gruesome details of his death.
It is frankly repulsive to see Ridgway claiming that he and his wife were “grieving the loss of their unborn child.” They did not lose him. They deliberately decided to have him killed at twenty-one weeks—when he could feel pain, suck his thumb, hear voices, and stretch—while recognizing that he was, in fact, an “unborn...

Grace Presbytery Deposes and Excommunicates Minister
It is anticipated that Willett may face charges in an additional county in the near future.
At its May 2026 presbytery meeting, since Willett could not appear before presbytery and did not submit a plea in writing, a plea of not guilty was recorded on his behalf, counsel was appointed, and June 9 was set as the date of his trial. The presbytery conducted the trial on Tuesday, found Willett guilty,... Continue Reading
Sex and a Just Society
Christian sexual ethics are not arbitrary or idiosyncratic edicts.
Faithful marriage is the best anti-poverty program, the best educational program, the best anti-crime program, and the best defense against loneliness and social anomie. Conversely, the sexual revolution has exacerbated these and other evils. There are the abortions, the diseases, the exploitation, the cruelty, the dehumanization, and more. Sexual sin destroys justice. This is... Continue Reading
Dept. of War Removes Wicca and About 180 Other Belief Systems as Recognized Religions
The religions that remain are various denominations of Christianity, Buddhism, Mormonism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism and the Baha'i faith.
The directive ultimately came from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who pledged last year to overhaul the military’s Chaplain Corps by refocusing it on religious ministry and eliminating what he called secular influences. U.S. Army soldiers pray on September 11, 2011 during a protestant service at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. Ten years after the... Continue Reading
The PCA Committee Report on Christian Nationalism: The Problem in the Middle
The Religious polytheism endorsed by the Committee is a prescription for the death of a nation.
Note that the position of the Committee is that the free exercise of “all religions” in our nation is entirely consistent with the PCA’s constitutional standards. In this context “all religions” does not mean all Christian denominations as it did during the time of the writing of our founding documents. It means all religions including... Continue Reading
Life Beyond the Algorithm: Timeless Meaning in an Age of Artificial Intelligence (Part 1)
Intelligence changes form, labor changes medium, creativity changes expression, but the fundamental question remains unresolved: What endures?
Even the noblest of work cannot preserve meaning under the sun. This critique dismantles the modern mythology of progress. Progress assumes that accumulation equals significance, that advancement produces value simply by virtue of expansion. Yet Solomon exposes the internal contradiction of this assumption: progress operates within time, but time erodes what progress produces. Without a Divine reference... Continue Reading
As Polyamory Gains Visibility, Monogamy Faces a Vote in the Presbyterian Church (USA)
A separate proposal calls for a broader theological framework on human relationships.
As polyamory gains exposure, other mainline denominations have begun to confront their stance on it. At least three Episcopal priests have renounced their ordination vows due to tensions between their church roles and family structures, and in 2024 the Episcopal Church considered, but did not advance, a resolution intending to study diverse family structures. The... Continue Reading
Understanding the Difference Between Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory
Critical race theory is a nephew rather than the firstborn son of critical theory.
For the critical theorist, culture was front and center, after economics and traditional Marxism. For critical race theorists, clearly, race is front and center, and that was not a particularly big emphasis for the critical theorist, with one exception—Herbert Marcuse. Downstream from Critical Theory How should we think about critical theory as compared to... Continue Reading
