A Man’s Place Is in the Home

For as long as the present generations can recall, it has been the norm that a man should leave not only mother and father, but also wife and children, and cleave to his desk.

Written by Trevin Wax | Tuesday, March 13, 2018

Gender roles on the farm took a strikingly different shape than the way contemporary society conceives of these issues. Jalsevac explores the history of the idea of dads working “outside the home,” and in Chestertonian fashion, he questions our assumption that the place for a man is at his desk away from home.   Long-time...

Why Teenagers Are Becoming ‘Trans-curious’

Young people are 329 percent more likely than adults to identify as transgender

Written by Joe Carter | Saturday, March 10, 2018

An inexplicably high percentage are self-identifying as transgender, and many more are becoming “trans-curious,” that is, not yet identifying as transgender but experimenting with adopting a “gender nonconforming” identity.   The Story: A new study published in the medical journal Pediatrics finds many more teens than previously thought say they are transgender or identify themselves...

“If Your Affection Shall be Inclined” – Some Marriage Proposals of Protestant Reformers

What’s an appropriate way for a Protestant preacher to propose to a lady?

Written by Simonetta Carr | Friday, March 9, 2018

At first, Luther laughed at the prospects of getting married, but his friends convinced him to do it. After all, he had been teaching for some time about the benefits of marriage. It was time to put his own words into practice. Besides, he would have finally pleased his father, something he had unsuccessfully aspired... Continue Reading

There Goes that Pesky Biological Reality Again

The moves from ‘What is truth’ to ‘There is no absolute truth’ to ‘It’s true if it’s true for you’ to ‘If you deny this is true you are a hater’ perfectly fulfil Isaiah’s warning.

Written by Matthew Hosier | Friday, March 9, 2018

The trouble is, reality has a way of making itself known. So the evidence mounts up that the most progressive societies are also those in which occupation is most closely linked to sex; and two men are not actually capable of becoming parents without hiring a womb; and biological sex is determinative for all manner of things....

Self-Righteous Hypocrisy: The Oxfam Sex Scandal Shows That It Is Not Just The Religious Right Who Are The Contemporary Pharisees

In the past we have tended to assume that the contemporary equivalents of the Pharisees in the Bible, noted for their hypocrisy and judgement of others, were conservatives and the religious right.

Written by John Stevens | Friday, March 9, 2018

Now Oxfam and Save the Children have been shown to have covered up inappropriate sexual behaviour by their employees, and no doubt many other charities will be similarly exposed in the days the come. Those who have excoriated others for their “sins,” whilst presuming their own moral superiority, have been shown to have been just... Continue Reading

What Parents Need to Know About Juuling

Juul is a popular e-cigarette system that looks a lot like a USB flash drive that consists of a long, slim vaporizer and disposable “pods” of nicotine juice.

Written by Michelle Woo | Thursday, March 8, 2018

Jack Waxman, a high school senior in New York who’s working to spread awareness about the dangers of teenage Juul usage, says he’s seen friends all go down the same path: First, they’re attracted by the “fun flavors” and enticed by the head-rush. But then, after using the Juul for a while, they feel no... Continue Reading

Federal Appeals Court Rules That Sexual Orientation is a Protected Class

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender non-conformity are prohibited under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Written by ERLC.com | Thursday, March 8, 2018

Currently, people who live in New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Indiana, Illinois, or Wisconsin, are prohibited by federal law from being fired because of sexual orientation, while in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida there is no such prohibition. In the other states the issue is unresolved. Because the circuit courts are split, the Supreme Court will likely... Continue Reading

Parental Rights: A Casualty of the Transgender Revolution

Who possesses authority to make prudent medical decisions in the best interest of the child? According to Judge Hendon’s ruling, the answer is the state of Ohio.

Written by Andrew T. Walker | Saturday, March 3, 2018

If the medical establishment deems “transitioning” in the best interest of a legal minor and the parents object on moral or religious grounds, legal precedent now exists that suggests that parental rights can be severed in the interest of countenancing transgender orthodoxy.   On February 16, 2018, Ohio Judge Sylvia Sieve Hendon handed down a decision in...

Which Country Sends the [Second] Most Missionaries?

South Korea has sent out 27,436 missionaries in 2017, second only to the United States

Written by Joel Kim | Saturday, March 3, 2018

This passion for cross-cultural missions is shared by Korean-American immigrant churches. It is not uncommon for the smallest of the 4,000 plus Korean-American churches to set aside a significant portion of the church’s budget for missions and proudly display the names of the supported missionaries in their weekly bulletins.   My friends and I recently...

The 25 Best Icebreaker Questions For Team-Building At Work

The key to building trust is to ask questions that help everyone get to know each other

Written by Claire Lew | Saturday, March 3, 2018

We put a lot of thought (over four years worth of research and fine-tuning!) into crafting get-to-know-you questions that would be as non-cheesy as possible, and elicit meaningful and memorable responses from the team. I get emails all the time from CEOs who’ll tell me, “Wow, Claire, I had no idea this question would get... Continue Reading
