Histrionic as elements of the 4B movement are, it’s more than a hissy fit. The last 60 years have afforded women unprecedented freedoms, yet they still feel unvalued and unsafe. The sexual revolution of the 1960s rejected every social, moral, and sexual expectation as a power-consolidating cultural construct. Women were “liberated” to define and pursue... Continue Reading

Our northern neighbor’s Orwellian-named MAID (medical assistance in dying) has resulted in more than 400 individuals being put to death in criminal violation to the code, and the Netherlands, where it is currently legal for doctors to kill patients as young as 1 year old with the consent of a guardian. Instead of seeing these... Continue Reading

The county formally cut ties with the ministry, costing it thousands of dollars in funding and opportunities to further its calling and minister to survivors of sex trafficking, according to a federal lawsuit filed last week on Gracehaven’s behalf. The contract would have allowed Gracehaven to staff its third group home and open four more... Continue Reading

Wherever the cultural winds are blowing, thanks to the Lord, we can be “steadfast, immovable” (1 Cor. 15:58). So don’t be anxious about the news as you read this annual retrospective, where I attempt to discern the top theology stories of the year. As always, I write from the vantage point of an American who... Continue Reading

“How many loaves do you have?” (Mark 8: 5). Jesus does not ask you to resolve all the problems of the world. But as your King he determines the nature of his kingdom. He asks you to have deep and sincere feelings for the needs of the world, to see this faceless mob of humanity... Continue Reading

By calling your scheme for social improvement a matter of “social justice,” you imply that doing something else, or doing nothing, would be unjust. Hence, if I, on purely prudential grounds, prefer a different solution to the problem (or think you have misidentified the problem in the first place), I am preemptively labeled a proponent...

Assad’s disastrous rule ensured his own ruin. He was both wicked and incompetent. And for now, his overthrow is a strategic gain for the West, America, and Israel. It’s a huge defeat for Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah. Maybe Lebanon can now regain sovereignty against Hezbollah. Israel now seems to have the upper hand against Iran.... Continue Reading

Just like the woke left, there is a “woke right” similarly prepared to reduce individual human beings to avatars of the hated class they represent. They don’t know or care to know what kind of man Brian Thompson really was. His profession marks him as an “oppressor,” and that’s all that matters to them. Like... Continue Reading

Low tide isn’t only the portent of a return. Low tide reveals the terrain of the land that the sea has shaped. High tide covers the sea’s effects, but when the tide is low we see things that had before been obscured. In the same way, secularization has revealed Christendom’s effects in a new way....

The label Woke Right can easily be applied to anyone on the right because it is an empty and vacuous descriptor with no objective content. It is simply based on a vague, but very negative, association with the Woke Left. And that, in the end, appears to be the main impetus behind its use: it... Continue Reading
