This Is How Religious Liberty Dies
Kamala Harris says it out loud in asserting a false right to abortion.
Religious liberty, which is among the fundamental rights explicitly recognized in the Bill of Rights and is the foundation of all other rights, is rejected in favor of abortion rights, which are invented rights without a historic foundation. Harris rejects the actual fundamental right, religious liberty, and asserts a false right, abortion, claiming it to... Continue Reading
A New Testament Scholar Explains What Should Be the Two Key Voting Concerns for Christians
How do Christians determine what are the most important matters when voting for or against a political candidate? We have to start “in the beginning.”
Summary: The two most consequential acts of God at creation were the valuing of human life as the only creatures made in God’s image and the integrating of that image-bearing into the creation of male and female sexual counterparts. Since these two creation acts are most consequential in the eyes of God, policies adversely affecting... Continue Reading
Romans 13:1-5 and the Gospel
We do not always agree when obedience to man constitutes disobedience to God. We can fine-tune our deliberations with a look at why God gave rulers authority.
We can’t disobey rulers without disobeying God except when we must obey God rather than man (cf. Acts 5:29). Rulers, however, often walk contrary to the very reasons God gave them authority, punishing the righteous and rewarding the wicked. No surprises there, for Paul’s Gospel explication includes rulers when he indicts the entire human race... Continue Reading
“Christians” Disowning Christ
Apostasy is real – and a real concern.
“The Australian Catholic University will reimburse attenders of a graduation ceremony where Joe de Bruyn sparked a walkout with a speech denouncing abortion and same-sex marriage, as the university also revealed it had urged the former union chief to reconsider his remarks before he delivered them. De Bruyn’s address, delivered on Monday evening, prompted major... Continue Reading
Just Who Is Hating on Christianity?
When so-called Christians turn on the faithful.
Another new example of “Christians” hating on real Christians was just reported on yesterday. The opening paragraphs of a piece in the Melbourne Age tells the story: Former union boss Joe de Bruyn has sparked a mass walkout at a Melbourne university graduation ceremony in response to his keynote speech opposing gay marriage and comparing abortion...

Why Do Democrats Have a Masculinity Problem?
Progressivism’s rejection of the Bible’s creation order has led to troubles with male voters.
The typical male is repelled by the notion that homosexuality is a matter of mere moral indifference, as if sodomy were no different than being left-handed. The question is whether they have the freedom to admit that out loud. Under progressive rule, they do not. Will Democrats learn anything from this? No. Because it would... Continue Reading
Nationalism, Globalism, and American Nationality
Let us aspire to be good citizens of heaven, in order that we will be good citizens of the United States.
Coming to grips with American nationality is hard work, but it is the work of the American citizen. Christian American citizens have a special responsibility in this work, because we believe that the tension between dignity and fallenness in human nature has been resolved through the Incarnation of the Lord Jesus, and his substitutionary work...

Voting For Less Evil
Though Christians are well-represented in America, two problems reduce our influence: (1) we do not represent a majority of the population, and (2) we are not in agreement among ourselves regarding political matters.
As I have been pointing out, we are in a socio-political struggle for the long run. Therefore, I have been urging that we act accordingly. Like it or not, in politics we cannot expect overnight success through one particular election or by means of a “perfect” candidate. To continually vote for the “perfect” candidate when...

Transgenderism and Homosexuality: Hindu Monism’s Philosophical Triumph
Education will undermine the fear of God (the true source of wisdom), individualism will weaken the family, and state education will make students immoral.
Mann, a Unitarian, said that the Church should not educate because it teaches “divisive doctrines” such as the Trinity. According to Mann, children do not need to learn Truths (doctrines) such as Trinity. They need to learn Virtue (ethics): to honor parents, elders, and teachers; to not covet or steal someone’s pencil or pear. The... Continue Reading
Cru Ends Controversial Sexuality and Gender Training
Change comes months after Christian campus ministry faced claims it had drifted from Biblical orthodoxy.
During the meeting and in a follow-up email to WORLD, Johnson referred to the Compassionate and Faithful materials as a “learning experience,” not a curriculum. Since most staff had completed the training, Johnson told me it made sense to incorporate future training on sexuality and gender issues into Cru’s Institute of Biblical Studies for incoming...
