The Current Cultural Craziness
Regardless of how bad things may look at any time in history, Jesus is already the winner, and He will prevail in history.
According to wisdom from below, people can transform God’s creation into a paradise by correcting some basic flaws in the world as God made it. The proposed solution is always some simplistic reduction of reality. There are crusades to get rid of private property, crusades to get rid of certain classes of people or certain...

My Grandfather Died with Dignity
Grandpa Tom’s dignity amidst his dependence on others was a loud rebuke to the arrogant pride that says, “I matter because I can take care of myself.”
In Q&A at a 2021 training session by the Canada Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, a physician asked Dr. Kevin Reel—the president of the Canadian Bioethics Society—what a doctor should do if a patient sought MAiD “because of socioeconomic reasons.” Dr. Reel replied that of course the physician didn’t have to administer MAiD, but...

Naomi Wolf Wants Us to ‘Face the Beast’
It is time we wake from our slumber.
“We were not in a normal time of normal bad human politics and normal bad destructive material choices. I realized gradually that the degradation taking place on the material plane simply reflected or manifested a much larger battle—indeed a spiritual battle; one between Good and Evil themselves, and that God—whom till now I hesitated to...

The Left, Geopolitics, and Believing Lies
Pro-Hamas insanity is part of a bigger malaise in the West.
“Enough stupidity and blindness. The barbarians are no longer at the gate. They are inside — inside our cities, our civilisation, and our souls. Too many clamour, in consequence, to once again punish Jews. The bloodthirsty desires and doctrines motivating and justifying such behaviour must be identified, understood and rejected, before things get seriously out... Continue Reading
Has Hitler Won on the Left?
Not only does the West now lack a sophisticated moral register, it lacks any vocabulary in which such could be expressed.
The real issue is not the technocrats at the top. It is the culture that sees leadership in higher education not as a moral calling, but as a technocratic one. That type of leadership suits a broader academic culture that lacks positive moral content, that revels in the spirit of negation, and that cultivates a... Continue Reading
A Response To “Are Evangelicals Selling Their Souls For Israel?”
Stand for justice for the Palestinian people and reaching them with the gospel, and criticize Israel strongly if it falls short, but take care not to be aligned with her enemies.
Now, as believers in Jesus Christ, none of us should ever want to see unnecessary suffering or the destruction of innocents. I certainly don’t. We grieve over the terrible loss of life in Gaza, but it’s important to note and repeat as many times as it is necessary that this is not a war against... Continue Reading
The Moral Decline of Elite Universities
A foundational commitment to human dignity is essential to the very purpose of education. Unfortunately, the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn abandoned that commitment; they failed the test.
Harvard, Princeton, and Yale were originally founded as seminaries. They are seminaries once again. The doctrine they embrace is both insecure and oppressive in its prohibition of insiders and outsiders from pursuing free inquiry. Rather than wrestle with hard questions about human dignity, individual agency, and speech, many in the Ivy League seem poised to... Continue Reading
Three Marks of Progressive-Lite Evangelicals
In the name of “niceness,” they are dulling the sharp edge of the call for repentance that our world desperately needs to hear.
For all their talk of evenhandedness, winsomeness, and giving others the benefit of the doubt, these ideals are tossed out the window the minute the discussion turns to matters that conservatives deeply care about and are willing to advocate for at the political level. As Christians, we should call out this double standard for what... Continue Reading
A New Government That Makes Us Glad
A government led perfectly by a perfect Ruler leads to an enduring peace.
We are grateful for the men and women who serve in our government, but for every great leader, there are hundreds who are insufficient for the task and who cannot seem to find solutions to the problems within and the threats without. Many lead with devious agendas. Some are even diametrically opposed to Christ’s kingdom.... Continue Reading
The Devil Went Up to Iowa
The real issue on trial here is not the statue of a pagan idol by the name of Baphomet in a public place, it is the concept of free speech.
The boundaries of the Christian Faith have been exchanged for other boundaries contrary to the Christian Faith. What we are watching today is the replacement of the Second Commandment by a secularized First Amendment. That was not the original intention of those who approved the First Amendment. The First Amendment was there to encourage the... Continue Reading
