The Dilemma of Morals
Western civilization races to remove any reminder of God as the foundation for morality and ethics, they pave the way to erase the Imago Dei from the image bearers themselves.
Just as Nietzsche had foretold, freethinkers who mock the very idea of a god as a dead thing, a sky fairy, an imaginary friend, still piously hold to taboos and morals that derive from Christianity. In 2002, in Amsterdam, the World Humanist Congress affirmed ‘the worth, dignity and autonomy of the individual and the right... Continue Reading
Now the Word “Equity” Is Being Hijacked!
The word equity is being used as a weapon in the modern woke and cancel-culture movement, but no one seems to be able to define what the word means.
As America has moved from a Christian nation to a post-Christian nation, the meaning of words have changed. Gay no longer means gay. Equity no longer means equity. Rather than equity being defined by God’s law ensuring biblical justice, it now is a wealth redistribution scheme mediated through the force of law or through guilt-manipulation.... Continue Reading
Reformed Political Theology Today
There is an unbridgeable gap between the spiritual and temporal kingdoms that places a necessary limit on the kind of good that can be achieved in this life.
Our political stance towards others, be they fellow countrymen, or our country’s geopolitical neighbors, should be one of charity. But our stance should also be marked by realism about the limits for progress and goodness in human affairs. Sin has a significant impact. Governments can do good, but we all know that governments often do... Continue Reading
Global Methodist, United Methodist Churches Split on Nicene Creed
In United Methodism, it has become painfully obvious that there are no clear, consistent, and effective doctrinal boundaries.
The sad reality the matter is that the UMC’s lack of inclusion of the Nicene Creed in its Doctrinal Standards does not mean that the denomination is simply neutral. United Methodism is sometimes openly hostile to the faith of the Nicene Creed. It is simply a fact that in many cases, people who come under... Continue Reading
A Unanimous Victory for Religious Freedom in the Workplace
In Groff v. DeJoy, the Court eased the way for religiously observant employees to obtain accommodations from their employers that are necessary to allow them to live their beliefs.
Groff, a former mail carrier for the United States Postal Service (USPS) and an observant Evangelical Christian, was subject to progressive discipline over several months because of his commitment to observing the Sunday Sabbath as a day dedicated to worship and rest. He ultimately left his job when it became clear that he would be... Continue Reading
Addressing Abuse & Defending the Bride
Scandal mongers and abuse activists try to portray the Christ's bride as a haven for abusers with vague, yet salacious accusations. But this is not the way.
The PCA has a structure for bringing charges against members and officers, and it requires two witnesses of an alleged offense. These two witnesses may be either people or material (e.g., police report). But these scandal-mongering blogs bypass the judicial system of the Church entirely and instead slander the good name and reputation of the... Continue Reading
Jail Time for Hurt Feelings?
When “Misgendering” and “Deadnaming” Become Crimes
The new law differs from the old version in two key ways: by expanding protected class status to self-identified sexual minorities, and by significantly rewriting the terms under which charges may be pressed. The old language prohibited physical assault and property destruction “with specific intent to intimidate or harass another person” falling in one of... Continue Reading
303 Creative Is a Big Win for Religious Liberty at the Supreme Court
The Court’s decision makes it clear that a majority of the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court believe in this expansive view of religious freedom.
The First Amendment’s protections belong to all, not just to speakers whose motives the government finds worthy. In this case, Colorado seeks to force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance. Today’s decision is significant because the Court acknowledged that the belief... Continue Reading
Rejecting Your Maker Means Rejecting Your True Identity
Transgender ideology subverts the role of the Maker by allowing the creature to determine its identity.
Modern gender theory wrongly bifurcates gender identity from your biological sex and grounds a person’s identity in the former. By doing so, identity becomes something decided upon by each individual based on an internal feeling. If identity is an enduring part of who you are, then leaving it up to a personal decision is problematic.... Continue Reading
What Is New Age Spirituality?
Many who are involved in New Age practices speak of God in general terms, they do not know Him as the infinite and eternal God of Scripture.
Many who embrace New Age practices believe in karma and reincarnation. As in Hinduism, the ultimate goal in the New Age movement is to achieve oneness with the divine. Adherents of New Age spirituality reject the biblical doctrines of the fall, the sinfulness and depravity of man, the need for an atoning sacrifice, and the... Continue Reading
