The LGBTQ+ Appeal: A Perfect Storm for Gen Z
In the current generation of teens and twenty-somethings, born between 1997 and 2013, one in five identifies as LGBTQ+.
A seismic shift has taken place in teen culture in just fifteen years. Before 2007, gender dysphoria was so rare among girls that there was no extant scientific literature on teen girls having gender identity disorders. None. In the last fifteen years over three hundred gender clinics have opened in America. In the UK, from... Continue Reading
Intersectionality Devolves
As the public begins to connect the dots between Hamas, BLM, the DSA, and academic “decolonization,” responsible political leaders will be forced to accept that recent events in Israel are not simply a matter of foreign affairs but have deep domestic ramifications.
In 2015, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors led a delegation to the Palestinian territories, so that the group’s activists could learn from the “Palestinian struggle.” She condemned Israel as an “apartheid state,” and the running theme of the trip was revolution, “from Ferguson to Palestine.” The same year, Cullors signed a statement drawing parallels between the...

The Quest for Male Community
Men want to be on mission in the world together with a group of other men.
There used to be large numbers of spaces and organizations in the world that were single sex. Male only spaces have been systematically targeted for elimination by feminists and elite culture for quite some time. The years long jihad against Augusta National Golf Club by the New York Times is a great example. At the... Continue Reading
Our Friendship with Jesus Should Matter More than Our Political Ideologies
Christ invites us into a new identity—that of a friend. This is not an identity rooted in our political association but an identity that is rooted in our kingdom association.
“You are Republican,” your Facebook algorithm whispers in your ear. “You are a Democrat,” your social circle chants. “You don’t just believe in those political ideas; they are who you are,” the world murmurs. Taking a side and defending it has become the norm in our society. Being with others like us feels safe, comfortable,... Continue Reading
Contrasting Perspectives on the Land
How is the land of the Bible being viewed today? Consider these five perspectives.
The land of the Bible serves a purpose that will outlast its own existence. For eternity, people will praise God for many things. But high on the list will be significant praise for his handiwork in creating this land bridge of the continents, this place where he could carry out the work of redemption for... Continue Reading
Remember Sybil
Can we stop abusing our children now? Remember Sybil's lesson. It's time for our society to repent.
Our cultural moment tells us to affirm, affirm, affirm; when in reality we are destroying human bodies because the medical professionals have told us that this is the right treatment for this type of problem. Soon we will have our Sybil moment. Sybil was a fraud and eventually the egg on the face of society was... Continue Reading
Grenada, 1983: Catalyst to Upgrading Special Operations
If one wished to destroy the U.S. military from within, what might one do differently?
From a broader perspective, the brief Grenada operation in 1983 began the post-Vietnam rebuilding of the positive image of America’s military in the eyes of many citizens. That rebuilding continued with another short, successful operation in the 1989 removal of Manuel Noriega from Panama. In 1991, during the vastly larger, successful operation against Saddam Hussein’s... Continue Reading
Thoughts on the Israel-Hamas War
Christ’s primary concern is not with the justice of temporal affairs, but with the personal, eternal fate of individuals.
…civil righteousness is not a righteousness that will justify those that possess it. It is righteous only by sinful human standards, not by that perfect standard which God requires (Matt. 5:48; Jas. 2:10). The righteousness by which he justifies comes only through faith in Christ (Rom. 3:21-26, 28; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8; Phil. 3:9), a... Continue Reading
The EU’s Antihumanism
Why new regulations liberating the use of embryonic human beings to mitigate medical issues reveals a darker side of Western medicine.
Classifying embryonic human beings as “substances of human origin” erases the fundamental difference between embryos and other human cells. Unlike a skin cell or a blood cell, a zygote of an embryo is a whole, separate, valuable human being. Ignoring or disregarding that fundamental distinction is to remove all barriers from any person, born or... Continue Reading
Christians in the Employ of the Pagan Empire
Christians, not uncommonly, served the empire in various capacities.
Those Christians in the generation leading up to Constantine’s ascent appear not to have been strictly pacificist or “Anabaptist” (for lack of a more convenient term) in their politics. At risk of beating the same old drum, bits of information like this consistently underscore for me the value in studying the history of Christianity between... Continue Reading
