Trusting God’s Providence: Reflections on Attempted Assassination of President Trump
The attempted assassination of President Trump is a very real reminder of this present darkness and how even evil and darkness cannot circumvent God’s providence.
God’s will always prevails regardless of any evil intentions. Throughout history, God’s providence has been evident in both the triumphs and the tribulations of His people. Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, only to rise to power in Egypt and save many lives. In the natural world—a rise from the prison to the... Continue Reading
Are Human Rights a Fantasy?
As the West loses touch with its Creator, by what authority do we agree on inalienable rights?
For most of history, as Holland described in his book ‘Dominion’, the idea that humans have “self-evident” rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” would have been baffling: “A Roman would have laughed at it.” Yet today, “rights” language is central to our way of life. It was at the heart of the United... Continue Reading
Self-Creation Only Dehumanizes Us
I believe the witnesses of Scripture and common sense that we are first and foremost creatures, not creators.
Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender reassignment surgery are all used to relieve suffering—not physical suffering, but the psychological and emotional suffering caused by gender dysphoria. Most feel alleviating that suffering is a moral imperative; therefore, so is allowing these interventions. Few realize, however, that the psychological and emotional burden often remains even after transition.... Continue Reading
Jack Phillips Dragged Back to Court
It may be easier to just bake the cake, but Christians have a higher calling.
After months of repeated harassment and increasingly bizarre and perverse cake requests, the trans activist who had requested the “gender transition” cake filed a civil suit against Jack Phillips. The request to dismiss was denied by a progressive judge, and a lower court ruled against Jack. The Alliance Defending Freedom appealed the decision in the... Continue Reading
Amid Turmoil, Haiti Finds Hope
We will continue to pray that God would bring the right leadership to change the course of the country.
We grieve for what we see, because we know Haiti’s potential. The country is beautiful, with many beaches, and could be a great spot for tourism. I’m sure many in the gangs are redeemable. But the stability isn’t there, and there is a lot of despair. El Salvador had a situation like this recently. President Nayib... Continue Reading
AI Doesn’t Mimic God’s Intelligence
God’s higher intelligence comforts us in a changing world.
King Solomon tried wisdom, along with everything else a human could pursue in this world. He reported, “With much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief” (Eccl. 1:18, NIV). Having access to vast amounts of rapidly synthesized information doesn’t insulate us against suffering. Christians should neither fear LLMs nor count on them... Continue Reading
Why Louisiana Was Unwise to Mandate the Ten Commandments in Classrooms
Too many Christians are still mired in a culture war mindset.
In reality, this law is almost entirely symbolic, and a highly provocative symbolic act at that, one that will alienate non-Christians and reinforce them in every bad thing the left has said about conservative Christians wanting a theocracy. It reinforces the idea that conservative Christians are basically unwilling to live peaceably as part of the... Continue Reading
Support Drops for Same-Sex ‘Marriage’
Are Americans dropping their rainbow zeal because of a zealot takeover?
A recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute found that support for same-sex “marriage” dropped by at least two points last year, and support for “gay rights” anti-discrimination policies fell by four points. Also, opposition to businesses refusing certain services on religious grounds fell by five points. Every major media outlet that reported on these... Continue Reading
Judge Rules Montana Law Defining Sex as Only Male or Female is Unconstitutional
The judge "apparently needs a dictionary to discern the difference between a noun and a verb," a spokesman for Gov. Gianforte said.
District Court Judge Shane Vannatta struck down the 2023 law on Tuesday after a group of plaintiffs who identify as transgender, nonbinary, intersex and other identities sued, arguing the law denies legal recognition and protection to people who identify as gender-nonconforming, according to The Associated Press. A judge ruled that a Montana law which defined “sex” in... Continue Reading
A New Symbol for a Decaying Denomination
The Episcopal Church shows its true priorities with a confused and disordered Pride shield.
What are the consequences of taking away the signs and symbols of Christian faith and replacing them with those of the LGBTQ+ movement? At the very least, the old shield was dignified and the new one is, well, just vulgar. The old version welcomed the worshipper into the solemn, historic, and Biblical rhythms of morning...
