Why We Are No Longer an SBC Church: A Statement by Josh Buice
In recent days we came to the conclusion that there was no profitable path forward for us within the SBC and we made the decision to officially separate.
This downgrade involves compromise on theological levels such as complementarianism (roles of men and women in the church), ecclesiology (the office and function of elder), and most important of all is the gospel (the social justice movement has replaced theology with victimology—resulting in the rise of a new religion). For that reason, our church which is... Continue Reading
The West Didn’t Steal Its Way to Wealth
Liberty and Innovation Were the Keys to the Great Enrichment
To know the actual economic history of enrichment and civilization, you have to know the numbers. Most people don’t. People got rich and civilized by liberty, not by coercion. Let’s be clear ethically. Imperialism, as in South Asia, was very bad. Enslaving people, as in West Africa, was too. So was shooting striking workers,... Continue Reading
Realtor Ethics Case Involving Gay Rights, Montana Pastor Garnering National Attention
A case involving a Missoula-area pastor, gay rights and the National Association of Realtors’ code of ethics may be the first legal test of the code, involving LGBTQ+ discrimination.
Clinton Community Church Pastor Brandon Huber is facing a complaint that he violated the NAR Code of Ethics’ prohibition on engaging in “hate speech” against anyone because of their sexual orientation. Huber is suing the Missoula and national Realtors’ groups, saying the code of ethics should be invalidated because it’s too vague to be enforced... Continue Reading
This is Why Kids Don’t Need Smartphones
When “sexting” is treated as normal, healthy, and “empowering,” it is hardly surprising that kids imitate this behavior.
Children deserve not to be exposed to sexual content online or in person. They deserve to be taught that their bodies matter and should be treated as valuable. And they deserve to know that their hearts are precious and that they matter to the adults in their lives – and that those adults will work... Continue Reading
John MacArthur Urges Pastors: Preach on Biblical Sexuality
As Canada outlaws "conversion therapy," pastors in U.S., Canada asked to preach Jan. 16 on God’s plan for sexuality.
“Conversion therapy bans prohibit Christian pastors and leaders from teaching a foundational part of discipleship— the Biblical definition of marriage and family, and the call to turn from any deviations of that definition,” said Joe Dallas, a Christian author and counselor who has spent three decades helping people overcome sexual addictions. “These bans won’t just...

Boys Are Falling Farther and Farther Behind Their Sisters: Should We Care?
In my book Boys Adrift, I identify multiple factors that have combined to disengage boys and young men from hard work and academic achievement. The bad news is that these factors are pervasive.
In Boys Adrift, I also presented evidence that schools bear some of the blame for the disengagement of boys from education. American schools, with a few exceptions, have become unfriendly to boys. Boys doing things that boys have always done—such as pointing fingers at each other saying “bang bang you’re dead”, or doodling a sketch of a... Continue Reading
The Biggest Disruption to Human Life We Have Ever Seen
FaceBook changed its corporate name to “Meta,” as it seeks to turn social media into an immersive 3-D environment that can replace even more of your life.
Investors see a whole realm of business possibilities. Lots of hardware, including all those 3-D virtual reality helmets, will be needed. Also lots of software. And lots of programming of the different worlds. Some are saying that the metaverse will be the future of fashion, with people spending lots of money to buy impressive clothes for... Continue Reading
Most Men Don’t Have Real Friends (But Need Them)
Isolated and glued to our screens, it’s a crisis that’s only getting worse.
Male friendship has always been a precious thing. It’s worth fighting for. The first and best way to do this is to teach young boys what it means to be a friend. Sharing emotions and normal physical affection are not inherently sexual acts. But on a societal level, restoring friendship to its proper palace means keeping sexuality... Continue Reading
China’s Tragic War on Uyghur Women
The evidence uncovered was then measured against the legal definitions of crimes against humanity, torture, and genocide. The Chinese government was found guilty on all three counts.
The Chinese government is exploiting the unique ability women have to become pregnant and bring new life into the world. It is doing this to destroy—at least in part—the Uyghur people. Beijing’s abuses against Uyghur women are one of the most significant human rights crises of our time, and we should be talking about that.... Continue Reading
A Billionaire and the Tech Industry are Trying to Shape LGBTQ Rights in Deeply Mormon Utah
Despite the fact that the church is making more efforts on LGBTQ identities, it’s not enough for tech culture.
Many of the tech entrepreneurs are Mormon and attended BYU. Some have been influenced by Silicon Valley’s more libertarian culture and are sending money to a recently launched tech political action committee that will attempt to offer more progressive views on social views than the LDS Church in state politics. SALT LAKE CITY — Troy Williams, the head... Continue Reading
