Kids Are Not the State’s

Children belong to God, entrusted to parents.

Written by John Stonestreet and Timothy D Padgett | Friday, August 23, 2024

Christians should be the first to proclaim that kids do not belong to the state. Like all human beings, children belong first to God, and He has entrusted them to mothers and fathers. Only in loco parentis do secondary authorities like relatives, neighbors, and teachers step in. To reverse this order has more in common with the... Continue Reading

Evangelicals for Harris

Here’s what you need to know.

Written by Denny Burk | Friday, August 23, 2024

The group aims to convince evangelicals of the Christian bona fides of Kamala Harris, but they have to distort orthodox Christianity to do so. The group’s website features a page devoted to “Kamala’s Faith Story,” which is, in fact, a story, although not a Christian one. It includes no mention at all of Jesus Christ... Continue Reading

Neo-Confederates Among Us? A Cultural Misunderstanding Considered

We can condemn slavery in general, and its attendant abominations, without thereby wholly condemning those that lived in the Southern society that approved it, and without disapproving all else that they did.

Written by Tom Hervey | Tuesday, August 20, 2024

As suggested by my examples above, there are many of us in the pews in the PCA who think differently than Mrs. French and who take exception to this movement of historical condemnation. We recognize that one can condemn slavery in general, and its attendant abominations like separating families in particular, without thereby wholly condemning... Continue Reading

Fathers, Families, and the Republic

Fathers are the key to all government.

Written by David C. Innes | Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Fathers have their job in the home. But they must also do their part as free citizens of a free republic, and keep your government limited to its proper sphere, limited to the good for which God gave it. What is that good? It is protecting the conditions for moral thriving, family thriving, wealth creation,... Continue Reading

When Therapy Harms Instead of Helps

Excessive mental health therapy may do more harm than good.

Written by John Stonestreet and Aletheia Hitz | Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Therapeutic treatment for mental conditions involves interaction with one’s sadness, whatever may have caused it. In group therapy, patients listen and theorize with others about their sadness. In individual therapy, patients rehearse their own sadness, often for months and even years at a time. In both cases, the focus is on looking within. This, Shrier... Continue Reading

Search Engines Are Not Value Neutral

Is a search engine a genuine database of knowledge, or have software engineers designed search engines to reflect the people using them?

Written by J.V. Fesko | Monday, August 19, 2024

Search engine companies such as Google have claimed that such SEME is not possible, and they seek to operate with transparency for the processes that inform their search engine algorithms. The chances are high that search engine companies do their best to operate in a fair and transparent manner. Nevertheless, this doesn’t preclude or eliminate... Continue Reading

How Christians Can Fight the War on Lies

As a Christian, you must stand in defense of objective reality and reject the claim that reality can be subjective.

Written by Joe Carter | Monday, August 19, 2024

How should we wage battle in the war on lies? As in everything, we must follow Jesus’s lead. First John 3:8 tells us, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” Jesus came to destroy the work of the Devil, and the work of the Devil is spreading... Continue Reading

Cozying Up with the World

The Church of England continues its descent with its theology of sex.

Written by Carl R. Trueman | Friday, August 16, 2024

The account provided on the Church of England’s website indicates that the discussion was infused with the usual pious jargon. The archbishop of Canterbury captures the sentiment nicely: “I cannot imagine the Church of England without any particular group within it, and without her reaching effectively to anyone outside it through inclusion and justice, lived in...

Christian Witness at the Olympics

Athletes from around the globe boldly profess their faith in Jesus during both victory and defeat.

Written by Bethel McGrew | Thursday, August 15, 2024

Christians also face intense persecution in African nations like Nigeria, making the witness of athletes like Rasheedat Ajibade especially powerful. In one Instagram post, the young soccer star shows off a T-shirt with the words “Jesus Revealed, Jesus Glorified, Haleluya.” Another shirt reads simply “Thank You Jesus,” with a reference to the prophet Isaiah. She writes, “Beyond my... Continue Reading

A Biblical Precedent for Dissent

In a time of increasing polarization and secularization of campus politics, Christian higher education is positioned to benefit from the rich resources that its faith tradition offers in the form of its holy text.

Written by Melanie A. Howard | Tuesday, August 13, 2024

The Bible highlights a wide variety of (often disruptive and disobedient) activities that it describes without censure. The implication for student life staff and college administrators, then, might be to help channel students’ energies for dissent in positive directions that align with the biblical witness rather than to be quick to quash dissenting activity, even...
